Good Lease Developed.

Good Lease Developed.
The Wells brothers have developed
lease between Quapaw and Lincoln
Vile that is considered a record
breaker by the few who have been al
lowed 20 see IL. as the so acres has
been found 20 be underiaid with
WONDERFULLY rich ore bed that I'm some
places almost touches the grass roots.
A number OF holes have been drilled
on the Wells lease and-a shaft sunk,
which IS one OF the wonders of the
field. as it's only 10 feet TO the ore
and the ore bed is more than 20 feet
in thickness None OF the holes are
more than 60 feet deep.
The Wells men are considering
steam proposition. as II Is thought
that the ground might be stripped
with great profit
One OF the peculiarities OF the Wells
ground is that IL is so honeycombed
with caves Mat the drills often drop
into them before IL is hidden In the
ground, and there are sink holes near
the shaft that viii allow a man TO ex-
plore them for 60 or 10 feet; in fact
boys first discovered lead on the pace
by crawling thru the dry watercourses
Another popularity Is that II is one
OF the few cases in the field where the
ONltf mas hOIlt Tic uttNfODlnk, as one
OF the brothers owns the land, II being
an allotment OF his wife. who was a
member Of the Dardine family.

! The richest sections OF the field and
while the old plant has been consid-

/ iarging its central power station at

all the necessity power for the four
mills lately purchased from the Welch
