NOTHING LIKE NOW
Spanish War Prices for Food
Way Below Those Prevail
ing at Present.

Food prices in Washington twenty
years ago, during period when this
nation was at war with Spain, were
low when compared with the prevail
ing high prices in this city at the
present time.
This interesting comparison Of
prices during the two war periods
was made possible by discovery of an
old account book with a prominent
local grocer in a desk drawer of a
then high government official. The
grocer in question conducted store
which was considered "high-priced"
then and the purchases recorded in
the book are all the more signif-
cant for comparison because at that
time they were probably somewhat
above the prevailing average prices
in the city.

of languages by the mothers, fathers
and wives of American soldiers. 1t

Hopes and hardships Of the war and

Interspersed are hints of great pow

Each letter must be turned into Eng

hastily gathered in recent weeks.

His Prices Higher Now.


That same grocer is still in business.
He is still catering to what is re-
ferred to as a "high-class'' trade, but
his prices now are much higher.
This account book shows that a
number of the more important staple
groceries are from 100 to 200 per cent
more expensive now than during the
war period of '98. Butter, for instance,
was quoted at only IS cents a pound.
At the dresent time it costs the
housewife in Washington more than
twice that much.
White potatoes, which have been
lowering around 20 cents a peck in
Washington, but which were recently
lowered by the local food administra-
ton to 60 cents peck, were cost
ing the Washington housewife only
25 cents a peck twenty years ago.
Probably In some other stores they sold
for considerably less.
Good Old Days.
One of the outstanding features Of
these price comparisons is the fact
that smoked ham, whole and not
sliced, is recorded in this old account
book at Is cents a pound. The maxi
mum price allowed by the fair price
list for whole ham today is SO cents a
pound. Sugar in those good days
was only cents a pound and canned
corn was 10 cents can.
According to this book four dozen
eggs could have been bought in
Washington in '98 for practically the
same amount as one dozen costs here
at present. They were quoted then
at 15 cents a dozen.
Navy beans. which are now quoted
on the price list as high as 1s cents
q pound, and which sold for as high
as "a cents last winter, were selling
at cents q pound twenty years ego.
Graham flour was only cents q pound.
Cheese was IL cents pound. Lemons,
20 cents q dozen, and one-eighth Of a
barrel Of genuine wheat dour was 81.
Bacon was only 16 cents q pound, COM
pared with 81 cents, the maximum price
for plain sliced bacon today.

Bulletin!

Two events of momentous impor-
tance to stockholders in this Com
pany have taken place since this
folder was printed and we hasten to
put them into print on this leafet.
The Company has acquired an eight
and one-half acre tract Of thoroughly
tested. rich lead and zinc producing
land in the heart OF the district.

assaying from s to 22 per cent. Here
is enough zinc in this tract to keep
a 500-ton mill running full capacity
as long as we can operate II. A mill
of that capacity win produce enough
zinc at the present prices to net us
$4,000 a day for the next ten years
or more. There is no danger to be
encountered from any natural or
artificial obstacles in this mine.
Think OF It! mill site already has
been tested out and we are ready to
sink the shaft.
On the S0-acre tract west OF Bax-
ter Springs our last drill hole ran
into a 20-foot vein OF coal. further
proving out our coal acreage which
now seems sure to be as much as 20
acres.
The third week in May the first
shaft into this coal will be well
started and within another two or
three weeks we hope to reach the
coal. Proceeds from the coal will be
applied Immediately to defray erec-
tion of a mill on the eight and one
half acre tract just acquired. We
have enough coal blocked out now to
pay dollar for dollar for every share
issued to date.
Who said there wasn't something
doing every minute in the o. B. Rose
Company? Better send in your sub
scription now or have us reserve you
an extra allotment OF stock.

Immense Profits

Estimates on Ordinary Run of

Pitcher Bingham Takes Out $1,000

From the Daily oklahoman. Special;
The following Is an estimate of pos
sible profits on daily and monthly
basis when 3O0-ton mill is completed
and running at full capacity for one
or two shifts:
Three hundred tons of, rock mined
and drilled during one shift of day aud
recovery of per cent of ore would
give twenty -four tons of ore.
Figuring this ore at $50 per ton
there would be $3.50 worth OF ore:
After paying royalties and expenses OF
mining this ore there would be proht
of $3.50 por day. Figure from this basis
and the profit for mining for month,
one SHIFT day. would be S25,soo
month.
When n mine Is fully opened and can
run two shifts and handle 500 tons of
rock a day IL should on the same basia,
make double that amount or s5o.ooo

$500. 900 POSSIBLE EARNINGS

Coal OF the grade we have found is
worth $3.50 at the mine and a 10
foot vein under one acre would yield
10000 tons. Mining costs are esti-
mated at slightly over $500 ton.
earnings were only 81 ton. One
fourth of our acreage. or 20 acres
of this coal, would be worth $320,00O
more than ESQ per cent on our en-
tire capital stock. This lease lies
within a mile and half OF the Lucky
Jew lease which sold recently for
$4,000 when only eight test holes
had been sunk.

The biggest news of the year came
last week when the price OF ore in
the Miami field went to $500 ton
under agreement. The government
has already fixed price on our
product that guarantees fabulous
wealth and yet this agreement OF the
past week makes our success doubly
certain. Look what the Daily Okla
honnan OF MAJ LIST says. This is an
exact reproduction OF the article in
the Oklahoman of that date:
