if there is no objection to this, that the application should be
made in the name of Strick Scott & Oo • acting on behalf of the
Syndicate.
For your guidance I enclose draft of a form of Ooncession,
based upon the one that was prepared for the Persian Mining Ooncess-
-ion, which might, I think, serve for the Oman Concession, In
this I have suggested for the Royalty, either 16% on profits, which
i5 the rate payable to the Persian Government in respect of the Oil
Concession; or 4do per ton, which is about the average rate of
Royalty payable on Goal in India. The Government rate of Royalty
on Goal in India is only 2%% on valua at pit's mouth, which works
i> v
out to only about li per ton, but in the case of privately oiranad
Goal lands situated in the most accessible districts the average
rate is about Ans. 4/- per ton. If you can secure a lower rate -
say 2d. per ton - it would be a more suitable figure for a district
which is it present quite unproved, and where the conditions for
working are so unfavourable as in Arabia.
We should also require some Glause relieving us from the
obligation to pay Royalities to the Sultan of Oman should he be
dispossessed, or his claim to oocure the Royalties ho successfully
disputed, by the Turkish Government or any other State, Power or
Ruler.
