These shipping facilities are, perhaps, u~nequaled in
the entire MIAMI district. They mean a vast saving,
which would, under ordinary conditions, be reversed
and become a gigantic expense for hauling, teaming
and the like.
A public carriers trackage on its property encour-
ages, in added measure, the company in its plans for
speedy expansion. The company should have more
mills, and have them quickly. 1t is eager to expand.
But, to do that, it must have additional capital. Money
is necessary to the purchase of mills. And that's the
reason why it offers now a portion of its fully paid,
worcestershire stock-all of which is common and full
participating-at its par value, ONE DOLLAR a share.
IT'S DIRECTORS EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO PAY

Royalties in the MIAMI district range from 10 to 80
percent, the latter being probably the maximum, the
former unusually low. 1t would be safe to say Is per
cent is about an average. The o.. T. OIL N ZINC
COMPANY has a lease on its mill acreage that speci-
fies a 10 PERCENT ROYALTY for a period Of TEN
YEARS.
This company has an advantage of 5 percent over
most of its fellow operators because its fixed expense,
as noted, ia at least 5 perCent LESS than most mining
companies in this field.
Yet, notwithstanding this minimum royalty, the o.
T. CompAny's property is superior, its equipment eX-
cellent. Its mill power is a 250-horsepower Bessemer
engine. It has. two 80-horsepower boilers to supply
steam power for a fine hosting engine; a 750-foot
steam-driven air compressor; a 55O-foot belt-driven
compressor powered by a gas engine; a complete out
fit of pumps, air drills and all other necessary equip
ment.
Four shafts are down to the ore and enough rich ore
is IN SIGHT to run the mill to capacity many years.
A marvelously rich ore vein 10 to 80 FEET THICK is
in view and will be exceedingly easy to mine.
All the above identified ore is at an 80-foot level and
is ample to operate the Mill for FIFTY
TWO RAILROADS-Frisco and NJ, O. & c.
TRAVERSE H PROPERTY-OF THE {. T. Oil AND
ZINC COMPANY.
Coal may be promptly delivered by train directly to
the company's bins, and the same cars that conveyed
the fuel be loaded with treated ore to be shipped I'M
MEDIATELY to the smelling market.
