On September competent statis-
teal observer reported that llb mills
were operating in the Miami district
and forty-ninc others were under con-
struction. These plants range in ca
pacity from 100 to 800 tons daily,
each requiring the labor OF from forty
to seventy men. The same statistician
estimated that not less than two thou
sand test drills were busy every day,
each having crew OF three men. Team
sters, coal haulcrs and a multitude of
others arc included in the rosters of
affiliated industries, the whole organi-
zation> comprising huge army of phys

Superb farms have been recruited

doesn't require much acreage in this
game TO clutch prosperity. A fivc-acre
or ten-acre tract may be worth mil
lions and nccessitate the incessant
labor of years for its working out. II
IS not the expansc OF surface that
counts, according to my observation,
but the depth and richness OF ore veins
that trace the strata under the earth's
covering. Drifts wriggle their way in
devious courses and tremendous on,
put may be procured in a few yards of

mistaken about this It's the thick face
OF ore beneath the surface that is ar

And right here should be announced
one distinctive feature of this great
field that startled old-time mining men
OF other climcs when they heard abou,
II. About 30 percent of the ore pro-
duced in the Miami district is lead and
IT is not an uncommon thing for Mi
amis mines to pay dividends from
either metal
II is fact that some time ago when
operators WITHHELD one ore from the
mar ket because of'low prices and other
fields complained bitterly and ceased
operations temporarily, the mines of the
Miami district continued to operate
and produce and to pay dividends from
the sale of the other metal upon which
satisfactory prices had been fixed.
They did not have to depend upon the
market of zinc il zinc's price were for
biddingly low, or upon lead il similar
marketing conditions prevailed with

for more propitious times. In this re-
gard the Miami district perhaps stands
alone in the world.

Some conception of the turn in of the
Miami districts mines may be OBJ
tained by report for the week ending
September last But the reader must
realize that the output of many. many
new mills was not estimated, only cx-
act figures procured from the more
prominent plants being presented With
these omissions, the record showed that
the district turned in approximately
l0,2320m pounds of zinc blends at S72
a ton and 10000 pounds of lead at SIP
a ton, The valuation aggregated nearly
$4,000, II was the banner week of the
district, yet its sales were hampered
by a distressing shortage of cars TO
handle shipments Lead sales, too,
were considerably lighter than the av-
erage.
In the thirty-five weeks of 1917 ending
September last, the scarcely scratched
district produced more than l9S.OOOOO
pounds OF zinc blcnde anl greater than
IS, $1,000 pounds of lead having a total
value OF more than So0OOO0.

We take great deal of pleas wc in obiging customers in the matter of credit, but unless bills are settled promptly it works a hardship on the merchant.
 Now when credit is extended to you it is up to you to make that credit good and you should make every effort to settle on the first of every month.
