city of Picher at present, that OF
hundreds of tons of ore piled in the
streets in front of the office OF the
Pichor Lead company.

are building great bins to hold the
precious metal. but when the bins
had all been filled and there was no
other place to put the ore the Picher
people laid boards in the street and
piled car loads of ore on them.
What the situation will develop into
no one can tell. The order to use
coal ears for ore shipments has re
NleNed the situation somewhat, but

sent ont OF certain district of the
country and moH of the ore is sent
long distance, the order is limited in
its scope.
