fire of disturbing character on Val

shallow lagoons. Through these
wind waterways Canals deep

these, no ships dare enter without

course, with modern cannon, that
would be no defense today. The

pany, says zinc is the coming metal
that it is necessary to preserve
and save other metals from decay
and that its uses are unlimited.
|. M. Putnam, one Of our Ard
more citizens, is one of the vice
presidents of this big producing
company
The Consolidated Zinc and Smelt-
ing Company has just declared its ;
per cent monthly dividend. This
company controls the mines in the
heart Of the Commerce camp in the
Miami field. Among its properties
are the famous Emma Gordon mine
and mill, the two Haynes mills, the
Prairie mill and other valuable min
ing properties in this vicinity.
The company is, and its name i'm
plies, a consolidation Of mining and
manufacturing properties. These
mines are well established as divi-
dend payers. They are all locatde in
the famous Emma Gordon ore body.
1t will be remembered that this is
the property which the little Indian
girl, Emma Gordon, received as her
allotment from the Government.
She did not then dream that it CON
tanned millions Of rich ore which
would be the means OF proving the
Miami field the richest lead and zinc
field in the world.
This little girl has now grown to
and lives in the finest
home in the city OF Miami. She has
grown rich from the royalties alone
from this great ore body. But still
the royalties come every month.
How rich she may be in the future
it is hard to say.
Eighteen million dollars Of ore IL
blocked ont now and ready to he
mined, and still more is proven by
drill holes on this Emma Gordon
land.
The Consolidated company is en-
Iarging the mills on its properties
and is preparing also to move three
more OF its mills to three sites now
ready on this property.

TURE ITS OWN ORE.
The Consolidated company plans
to smelt and manufacture its own
ores. The demand for the finished
product cannot be satisfied.
!. A. Webb, President OF the com
pany, was Treasurer and General
Manager OF the Mercantile Metal
Company OF Webb City, Mo-, for
over twelve years. lie has made a
thorough study OF the zinc business.
His study has not only been from
the mining view but also from the
standpoint of the manufacturer and
the consumer. Mr.. Webb says that
iron, which now ruSts out in a few
wears, can be made to last from five
hundred to a thousand years when
properly treated with zinc. He
claims that all iron and steel cN-
posed should be, as nearly as prac-
ticable, treated with zinc to save the
great loss annually which is grad
ually using up all OF the available
iron supplies.
Under the supervision OF Mr..
Webb, it is predicted that the Con-
solidated L inc and Smelling Com
pany will render a great service TO
the public, by bringing the practical
uses OF zinc home to them in every
day use. MIR. Webb's company is the
pioneer in many advanced ide1s,
which will probably be followed by
others.
One OF our own citizens, !. NJ.
Putnam, has been an active factor
in forming the consolidation OF
these producing properties at Miami.
He is now one OF the yice-presidents
OF the Consolidated Zinc and Smelt-
ing Company, and will represent
the company in Southern Oklahoma,
with office, at Ardmore.
