HE WILL FIGURE HIS
TAX CLOSER NENT TIME

The old saying about tho mills of
the gods grinding slowly, but exceed
ingly small, was brought home forci-
bly, to a merchant recently He was
puzzling out his income tax returns
for 1917 he said, when he received
notification from the Internal Revenue
department. that he owed the govern
mcnt $1.31 in taxes on the return he
made in 1913, On admitting his will
ingness to Settle" he was favored
with call from deputy United
States marshal who collected the $li3h
and little matter Of $2.0S 'extra IN
penalties and interest. 1t developed
that in figuring his tax, the man in
question had set down the prime pal
in round numbers instead of actual
figures, though the difference was
slight This year he is going to figure
bis tax out at least to four decimal
places to be sure he is right. TsM

ONE WAY TO REDUCE
GASOLINE COST

Speaking of car expense, suppose
| told YOU how YOU could make your
gasoline cost you l6 p cents a gal
Ion next year," asked the service
man of the Fisk Rubber company.
Well can do exactly that, he con-
tiGued
Suppose you drive your car 900
miles at the rate of - miles to a
gallon. With gas at % cents your
gas costs $l56, Now if YOU save $50
OF that $l56, it brings your cost to
lf % cents
Here's how YOU do it, Using 81
by l-2 tires and running $500
mile your eXr ense for the season OIL
shoes alone is probably about $3.50.
Save > per cent of that and v0I
haye your So and the saving on your
tire cost is absolutely simple no mat
ter what tires you use Have them
inflated TO the proper pressure each
week. test your wheels for alignment
each week, take care of cuts, keep
your brakes uniform and don't scra7c
your tires along the curhngs That's
81 YOU have to do and The probabili-
ty is that YOU will save 20 to 30 cents
rather than the 81 per cent mention
Cd Try it this year, It surely is
fine year to save everything you can"

GCT KNOW that you will be glad
to hear at once that one Of
our machine men shot several
| holes in the Southeast No stope
| (which is the floor OF the mine), and
| uncovered a face of zinc ALMOST
SOLID. This shot loosened at least
| 200 cans, or l50 tons Of pay dirt,
now MILLING OUT 80 PER CENT
JACK.
sETT is BY FAR THE BEST
FACE OF ZINC ORE THAT
4 HAVE SEEN IN THIS
FIELD.
6(N YESTERDAY afternoon the
drills encountered bodies Of
solid jack in another part
Of the stope within fifty feet Of
where We are now working.
CSX you know we are mining in
the lower and the best
ground, besides the four
leading faces. This lower ground
dTt is easily broken and moved and
is, therefore, the cheapest dirt oh.
| tanable. For instance, we save
thirty cents per Ton in explosives
alone, from the lower ground.
| nTHE mill is in excellent con.
dition and we are feeding it
from % TO 80 tons an hour.
The capacity can be doubled by run
ming night shift. We have an ef.
ficient band OF loyal workmen and
the organization is moving with ma
chtnelike regularity.
ckY WANT TO SAY TO YOU
THAT THE DISCOVERY or
THESE LARGE ZINC BODIES

Good Lead Recovery Likely rs Re
suit Of New Finds at OlG Katy
Mine at LncOlnville.

Baxter Springs, Kan, March 80.
Two water courses that are Tired
with cubes Of solid lead were discov,
cred recently at the o. r. Oil and
Zinc mine, formerly known as the
Katy and then the Royal Shale, by
the miners when they were shoot
ing a stope Of eight feet The water
courses are at the inety-fivefoot
level. The mine is located five miles
south of Baxter Springs. The
amount Of lead uncovered in the wa
ter courses is indicated by the fact
that last week the company had to
equip the mill for lead recovery by
placing more cells in the jlgs Jldg-
ing from the present lead recovery
and the holes left By the shots. the
indications are that the water
courses are very extensive. The Cp-
orators discovered tho first water
course at the extreme east end Of
the diggings. near the site Of the cicst
Katy mill, which was burned several
years ago.
Rich jack deposits were taken out
Of the eight.foot stope, which was be
ing shot last week. Only seven acres
OF the ground has been mined. The
ore body extends here from the six
ty.five-foot level down

pany are c. p Smith Of Oklahoma
