OKLAHOMA NINTH
IN LEAD PRODUCTION
Lead And Zinc Production Of Oklahoma
in 1911.

In advance statements of the pro-
duction of lead and of spelter tcrude
zinc), c. E. siebenthal Of the United
States Geological Survey gives the pro
duction Of lead from Oklahoma ores in
1911 as 1926 tons. as against 1906
tons in 1910, a gain of 100 tons or s.6
per cent. The gain for the United
States was 3.5 per cent. Oklahoma
ranked ninth among the lead produc-
ing states.
The production of spelter from Ok
lahoma ores was 2247 tons as against
22s7 tons in 1910. a decrease of so tons
or 2.2 per cent. The'United States as
"a whole showed an increase Of produc-
tion Of GA per cent.
According to the Oklahoma Geologi-
cal Survey the slight decrease In zinc
production does not lin any way indi-
cate an exhaustion of the zinc ores
but was caused by the low price offered
by the smelters for zinc concentrates
during much of the year Under the
prevailing prices II was considered
wiser by many operators to suspend
operations than to produce concen-
trates at price lower than that con-
sidered fair in proportion to the price
of spelter Toward the end of the
year the price of zinc concentrates ad-
vanced and the Oklahoma mines made
a greater production during the last
six months of 1911 than during the
same period in 1910 This is shown
by the following statistics Of the value
Of the ores produced by one of the
largest producing mines in the Miami
camp
Value of production for first six
months of 1910, $50, 1868 and for the
same period in 1871, $23.7s6.4S, show
ing decrease Of $S2, ,2oo.45; while the
value Of production for July, August,
September and October Of 1910 was
$24, ,9S792 and for the same period of
1911 was $3s.612.96 an increase of
$lS.625.04.
During 1911 the deeper run Of ore
at the Miami camp was reached by
shafts on two or three leases and was
proven by drilling to be present under
much of the ground previously consid.
cred to be worked out The increase
in the production Of lead was due in
large part to production Of ore from
this lower run which contains a high
percentage Of lead in the north end Of
the camp.
The prospects are for considerable
increase in production of both lead and
zinc for 1912.

HIGH SCHOOL
LOSES FAST GAME

Yes. the Milford-Bergers won again
but not with the ease they usually do
for the High School was there strong
and played baseball in a way that
made the old heads sit up and take
notice and only lack of experience is
to blame for their defeat for they
played much better game than did
their opponents, but in the last the
bowling of the crowd and the suspen-
sion under which the game rested caus-
ed them to become ratified and they
did not play with the vim and go as
earlier in the game.
The game started off fast and the
High soon took the lead and kept it
up until tn unlucky seventh when the
old heads won the game
In the last half of the seventh and
last inning the old head players came
up for the last time and the score stood
IL to in favor of the high school and
the crowd of students on the side lines
we're happy and began telling the root
ers of the opposing club how V. H. s..
played baseball, when Marrs for the
Milford-Bergers got first ON an error
and he was soon followed by ]. Marrs
and with two men on bases the mighty
Henderson was seen to choose stick
and advance to the plate, He had al
ready lost one ball during the game
and the high school pitcher was wary
but he got hit and so did Hall, the
next batter and five runs were made
before the school boys had time to
realize what had happened, and then
it dawned on them.
They had lost the game by score of
13 to IL. Their first defeat this sea-
son and by bunch judging from their
playing, who didn't have any license
to beat a bunch of babies,
Today the high school boys are back
in their old spirit and will start on
their second attempt at the flag by
walloping the Golden Rule aggregation
tomorrow afternoon and the next game
%ith-the Milford-Berger team will see
a much different result as the boys are
much wiser than before yesterdays

To the Editor the Chieftain:
Just brief concluding word on the
character OF the Christian life which
harmonizes. with the conceptions of
Christianity which | have expressed in
the foregoing letters.
The Christian who believes as / have
set out will not take much stock in
the idea of separation from the world
Therefore the intelligent Christian ac-
cepts the world. Not as perfect. But
as redeemed. AS needing to be made
better But not as an evil sphere
which he is to withdraw from. 1t fol-
lows that there is n1thing except sin
from which the Christian needs to
separate himself. God hath given us
richly all things to enjoy OF course
things may be sinful to one man which
are not to another. Whatever offends
his conscience is sin to any man. If
a man believes that il is wrong to
smoke, he ought not to smoke. If he
knows enough to realize that a good
cigar is one of Gods gifts, just like a
good meal which goes before, he has
a perfect right to smoke. But you
may measure the progress of any man
in spiritual enlightenment by the in
crease in the number of things which
he discovers to be innocent, after all
There isn't half as much sin in the
world as Puritanism imagines.
Christian liberty is the logical con-
clusion of this doctrine. Judge not, .
said Jesus "Who art thou that judg-
est another mans servant?e said Paul
ITO his own master he standeth or
faleth." No Christian has a right to
sit in judgment on any other persons
character or conduct. except provision
ally, where it is absolutely necessary
for the guidance of his own conduct.
This is the illogicality involved in the
rules of the Methodist church against
dancing, theater-going and card-play-
ing. These rules amount to judg
ment that, because certain men be.
lieve these things to be wrong for them
therefore they will make them wrong
for other men And the Methodist con-
ference just the other day declared
that no man who used tobacco should
hold any office in the General Confer
ence of the Church. Imagine any
church making rule which would dis
fellowship G. Campbell Morgan or
Charles H. spurgeon! 1t surely is to
laugh.
Love is the essential quality of
Christian character. Love to God and
love to men. Love is a spirit, not d
form. It makes its own forms, accord
ing to the circumstances in which it is
placed Any form of action which is

in body at all official functions dur
ing the celebration, under the joint
direction cf the ommander-inrchief of
the Grand Army of the Republic and
United Confederate Veterans. subject.
of course, to the approval of the com
mission.
IF this event might mark the final
and complete reconciliation between
those of the opposing armies of fifty
years ago, and the permanent estab-
lishment of harmonious and fraternal
relations between the north and south,
it would certainly gladden. the hearts
of all our countrymen.
To that end, voicing, as he believes,
the common sentiment of his COM
rades, and speaking for them in that
behalf, the commander-in-c of the
Grand Army of the Republic, extends
to you and your comrades of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans most cordial
greetings, and sincerely requests that
you and your comrades, in numbers
as great as possible, join with the Vet
Grams Of tht Grand Army of the Re-
public in the celebration of the semi
centennial anniversary of the Battle
of Gettysburg.
Let us assemble there, and meet
and greet each other hand to hand and
heart to heart in the spirit of true
friendship and Brotherhood born out
of love for the flag and devotion to
our common country. Thus will all
the wounds of our, former strife be
healed, as they must some time be,
that this people, as united and vital
force, may effectively and nightly
solve the problems of our Nations
destiny in world affairs and human pro-
gress.
Let us assemble there, and inau =
urate great peace monument under
which shall be entombed forever any
lingering prejudices and bitterness
that may have survived the ebbing
tides of passion through half a CEN
tury of peace, to symbolic to all our
people and to the generations yet to
be, that even out of the dead dust and
ashes of war, under the sunlight of
our Christian civilization, the fragrant
flowers of peace and amity may grow
and bloom.
Let us assemble there, where SO
many comrades of the Blue and the
Gray found common sepulture on that
historic field made immortal in the
worlds memory by their unexcelled
heroism, and there in that sacred pres
ence, mutually pledge to each other
our constant fealty to a reunited and
American Republic.
with this invitation goes the out
hand of friendship which
feel will surely be accepted in the
spirit in which it is extended.
FraternaIly and sincerely yours,
H. H. TRIMBLE,
in Chief Grand Army of
