Dies Suddenly.

j. NJ. Ewing, one of the oldest resi-
dents of this city, died suddenly this
morning at his home in southeast Ard
more.
Mr.. Ewing has been a resident of
this city for nearly twenty years and
was well known and highly respected
by nearly every ole in the southern
portion of the state. For many years
he conducted a transfer business in
this city and at the time of his death
was preparing to come to town on his
dray Deceased was member of the
w. o. w. and was an old confederate
soldier being a member of the local
camp. No definite arrangements have
been made for the funeral, but deceas-
ed expressed many times that he wish
ed to be buried by his old comrades in
arms and the Woodmen of the World.

ton to these two mills that are al
ready on the ground five other mills
are in prospect.
Three per cent ore can be worked
at a profit and there are samples of
the zinc in this city that will run
seventy five per cent and Judge Rob-
nett who came here yesterday from
the mines had samples with him that
will assay fifty per cent. The deepest
shaft in the region is eighty feet In
depth and the ore gradually gets bet
ter from the surface to that depth.
AS an example of the profits Of the
field A. ]. Chapman who owns a piece
of the mining property which is leased
to one of the development companies
receives in royalties an average OF
$3.50 week. This average has. been
maintained for the past five weeks and
the great work of development has
scgarcely begun. Carbonate of zinc
and sulphide of zines are both being
removed from the mines in vast guam
titles.
Ardmore, which is located twenty
miles from the mines will be the ben
eficiary city resulting from that de-
velopment. Ardmore is the home OF
cheap natural gas and will be the nat
ural home of the smelters. The busi-
ness will be transacted from this city
and the roads from here to the mines
are remarkably good and with but a
few miles of mountainous roads teams
can haul as much as in other por-
tions of the county. A few hundred
dollars spent on the roads would make
an automobile track to the mines.
The Ardmore people should not hes
itate a day about taking hold of the
work to see that the traffic is handled
through this city. The mining COM
panies will desire to come this way on
account of fuel and the work of max
ing Ardmore the gateway of the min
eral wealth should be an easy under
taking.
