Producers overlook the fact that
the greatest plays ever seen on the
stage have been those the subject
matter OF which Is OF an elemental
character. But these same pro-
ducers apparently feel that the only
way they can be taken seriously is
to make their pictures as complex
as possible so that after the fifth
reel the audience will arise and say,
Well, what was it all about. "

Fatty Arbuckle has been captured

glad news that the Americans have

the capture came at the time the
Germans made their advance at the

Smith, quite English-like you see.
It's a good spirit that prompts the

LOCAL MEN
HAVE GOOD
HOLDINGS
Test Holes on Property Of Mineral State
Lead and Zinc Company Shows
Heavy Face Of Ore

Some of these bright sunshiny
mornings the people in Chickasha
are going to awake from their peace
full slumbers to find a host of mil
lionaires in their midst. ]. l., Bren-
neman, president of the Mineral
State Lead and Zinc company, and
D. c. Nichols, vice president of the
company, have just returned from
trip through the Miami fileds and
especially over that part where their
holdings are located and they are
more enthusiastic than ever over the
prospects OF their holdings in that
field.
This company owns twenty acres
in the heart of the greatest lead and
zinc producing section in the world.
Mr. Nichols said that there were
from rs to 100 new mills going in
at the present time which have as
yet never turned wheel.
w llllln I'LL LILO VI a A1AAS
from our holdings there is now locat-
ed thousand ton mill and within a
mile and a half from us there has
just been completed one o fthe mod
ern three million dollar smelters in
the field" said Mr. Nichols.
81 know people cannot believe
what is being told of the fields near
Miami for it is impossible to con-
ceive without seeing it that there is
such a great production being made
there. It is impossible to describe
the work for no one can believe
that so much is being done.
"In our first test hole that we
drilled on our holdings, there was
shown to be a 95 foot vein of ore.
In our second well we have only
drilled to the ore but it was struck
at the same depth as it was found
in the first well and it is the belief
that the vein is as strong if not
stronger than in the first"
Mr. Nichols, who was formerly
connected with the Nichols, Clean
ers and Tailors, has now opened
suite of offices in the Tye building
and is devoting all of his time to his
interests.
