QUAPAW COMPANY STRIKES
EXTRAORDINARY STRUCTURE
"Caye of the Winds Prevents Invcs-
tisatiOn; Odessa Makes Good
Strike

Special TO The World.
MIAMI, Okla, oct. 26.--The Okla
noma Lead l& Zinc Co., which is oper-
ating a lease Just one mile north Of
Quapaw, has encountered some very.
peculiar things in their mine. In the
first place, they struck a large cavity
in their mine, which proved to be n
cave. The cave was at first filled with
water, but has disappeared for the
most part, except when the mines at
st. Louis, about a mile away stop
pumping, when the water again flows
into the cave. 1t seems that the mines
at st. Louis, by their pumping, lower
the water level sufficiently in the en-
tire vicinity that tho other mines do
not need to pump now at all Since
the water has left the cave, ii now
seems TO be a "cave of the Winds" as
the miners lamps are blown out the
moment they enter the cave. On ac-
count of the wind, the Oklahoma Lead
& Zinc Co. has been unable 10 inves-
tigate their cave, but if the cave IL as
others in the district, the cave will
more than likely show a rich orc de-
post. The richest deposits of ore in
the district have been found in caves
Odessa Makes Strike.
The Odessa Mining company, oper-
ating on the Bingham land, Just south
of the Kansas line, and three miles
north of Quapaw, have made a phe-
nomenal strike on their 40-acre lease
The cuttings from the strike assay as
high as 40 per cent, and the ore face
of both lead and jack Is over 35-foot
face. This is the fourth hole put down
on the lease, and the richest, tho the
other three holes all showed a good
run of ore. The ore Is located at a
depth of only ITO feet.
