(By j. A. LLOYD,)

Special TO The World.
MIAMI, Okla, Dec. 29.-The great
Miami mining field, situated in the
northeast corner of Oklahoma. has
made greater advancement in the year
1917 than an other mining country
ever did in the same length of time
and yet the field has scarcely been
scratched.
More than a hundred gigantic mills
have been erected I'm the past IL
months, the average cost of each has
been $4,000 and a great many mors
are under contract to be built imme-
sunk to the ore and thousands Of holes
have been drilled by the army OF
workers brought to the great Eldorado
from all over the world. and altho
s14, 900 worth of ore has been sold
from this district In the year 1911
still a careful canvass of the field
shows that the work of development
has just begun.
For several miles across the Kan
sas line the work OF development goes
on and territory that a few months
ago was considered wildcat. Is now
tested ground and considered as good
as the best South OF the Neosho
river thousands of acres are beius
d, He'd out and from the fact that
holes haze been sunk in which the
CUTTINGS have assayed as high as 20
per cent, II Is believed by many that
another field as good as the one 10
the north will be developed there.

Richest ore Ever Discovered.
/ Tie mines " the Miami district are
! IN n class by themselves from the fact
! that the ore to be found in them IS
richer than any ever heard of in his
jtory OF zinc and lead mining indus
TRY. In some OF the mines whole car
Iloads of ore are taken out that is so
lpure that Il may be sent to the smell
Ter without milling. The Montreal,
1.-THE Picher, the Laclede, the Wood
chuck, the Blue Goose, and others,
have made n practice of shipping ore
lby the carload that has never been
lmilled or prepared in any way for
the market.
| While the Miami field gives the
lcapitallst an opportunity to invest his
millions and IN some cases tries his
nerve in spending hundreds OF thou
sands in conquering watercourses. IT
Is the poor mans field as well, as In
some sections rhe ore almost crops
out of the ground. In the Lincoln

girls. The little girls OF 10 and -, In
