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

In advance statements of the pro-
duction of lead and of speter (crude
zinc), G. E. Siebenthal Of the United
States Geological Survey gives the pro-
duction of lead from Oklahoma ores in
1911 as 1925 tons, as against 1906
tons in 1910, a gain OF 120 tons or 6.6
per cent. The gain for the United
States was S.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
2297 tons in 1910, a decrease of 90 tons
or % 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 in 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 it 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
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, $55,9S6.SS and for the
same period in 1911, 2S,7364S, show
ing decrease Of $32, ,20045; while the
value of production for July, August,
September and October of 1910 was
$24, ,9S7.92 and for the same period of
1911 was $SS.612.96, an increase of
$13,625.04
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 ia the north end of
the camp.
The prospects are for a considerable
increase in production of both lead and
zinc for 1912

This industry, which was the first in
importance among the manufacturing
industries of the state, gave employ

reported products valued at S19,144,-

of manufactured products for the
state During the decade 1S99-i909 the
value of iour-mill and gristmill prod

establishments engaged primarily in
extracting oil from the seed and in re-

STATE INDUSTRIES
Thirteenth Census Statistics Issued by
the Census Bureau.

Washington, d. c., May An adj
vance bulletin on the statistics of man
ufactures for the state of Oklahoma
for the calendar year 1909, as shown
by the thirteenth census, has been
issued by Director Durand of the bu-
reau of census, department of com

chief statistician for manufactures.
The manufactures of Oklahoma have
increased rapidly in their Importance,
although many of the Industries are
as yet in their infancy. A marked in
crease in the independent industrial
activities of the state commenced with
the development of the oil fields in
1907 and the discovery of natural gas.
This cheap fuel has attracted manu-
facturers, who have established a mum
ber of new enterprises. The proper.
tion which the manufacturers of the
state represent of the total value Of
products of manufacturing industries
in the United States increased from
seven hundredths of l per cent in 1890
to seventeen hundredths of | per cent
in 1904 and twenty hundredths of |
per cent in 1909
In 1909 the state of Oklahoma had
2,310 manufacturing establishments
which gave employment to an average
of 1904 persons during the year and
paid out $92S5,00O in salaries and
wages. OF the persons employed, ~
f43 were wage earners. These estaO-
lishments turned out products to the
value of $53,6S2, 900, to produce which
materials costing $34153,000 Were
used. The value added by manufac-
ture was thus $19,529 900 which figure
best represents the net wealth created
| by manufacturing operations during
the year.

CHAMP CLARK
AGAIN VICTORIOUS
He Wins Sweeping Victory over
Wilson in altimore-Harmon<
Showed Under.

Baltimore, Nd May 6.-Maryland's
16 votes in the national convention
will be cast for Theodore Roosevelt
and Speaker Champ Clark unless the
few election districts still to be heard
from change the result registered to-
day at the states first presidential
primaries. The result was close and
Colonel Roosevelt on the face of the
returns, had but one more than the
number of votes necessary to control
the state convention.
The primaries divided the delegates
to the state convention as follows:
Republican; Roosevelt Sc; Taft SO.
Democrats; Clark 70; Wilson "A;
Harmon 4; in doubt 8.
Majority necessary to control con-
vention 65.
The state delegates elected are
bound to choose a delegation to the
national convention favorable to the
presidential candidates for whom the
people today expressed their prefer
enee.
Speaker Clark led steadily from the
time the first returns arrived from
the Baltimore wards. Early in the
evening it looked as if Colonel Roose-
welt would win by an equally big ma
jority but shortly before midnight re-
turns from the strong Taft counties
put the president suddenly ahead with
63 delegates to his opponents 81. 1t
was Prince Georges county that de-
cided. Both sides claimed its five votes
until conclusive returns shortly after
midnight placed it in the Roosevelt
column.
Clark and Roosevelt leaped into the
lead early with complete delegations
from Baltimore city which gave them
each 2S delegates Clark's presidential
preferential vote in this city was
greater than that of Harmon and Viii
son combined He defeated Wilson
by nearly three to one and the New
Jersey governor was ahead of Cover.
nor Harmon by two to one.
The sweeping Clark success in Bal.
timore was a victory for the demo
cratic organization. In the republican
primary here the Roosevelt organiza
tion downed the regular republican or
ganization led by Collector of the Port
William F. Stone.
The small vote polled by Governor
Harmon removed the possibility that
the democratic fight might be settled
in state convention. Had none of the
democratic candidates won, a major

ity of the delegates, the delegates in
structed for the candidate with the
smallest following would have been
free to swing to one of the other can
didates and control the convention
after the first ballot.
The popular preferential vote was
lost sight of tonight and probably will
not be tabulated until tomorrow. Under
the Maryland law, the affiliated voters
of the two parties instructed the dele
gates to the state convention by the
preference vote of each county. A
majority of this vote in county in
structs that county's delegates accord
ingly.
The delegates to the state conyen-
tion must vote as instructed for solid
delegation to the national convention.
