Miami District News: A peculiar
situation has arisen in the zinc ore
market, the result of the agreement
reached last week between two of
the large smellted companies and
the zinc mining interests and the
producers are puzzled over the state
of affairs thus brought about.
The smelters agreed to pay SIS a
ton for high grade ores, but those
smelterS in the agreement only CON
sumo about two-thirds Of the high
grade ores. They brought the high
grade product at this price last week,
but other smelters, not on the agree
ment, paid from $37. so to S45 for the
same grade of ore
This is confusing, but operators
say it is a condition that will solve
itself in the course of time, and that
all ores will bring higher price
soon. The operators with the ap-
proval OF the war industries board,
will soon form an organization with
a view to maintaining prices at a
level that will insure a fair profit
10 all mills in the Oklahoma-Kan
SIS Missouri district.
That the demand for all grades of
)rc will become stronger in the i'm
future, operators have no
loubt There is strong upward
endcncy to prices and every de
.elopment Of the past week has had
tendency to dispel pessimism,
md operators look for the market .
o seek higher level almost any

WINTER WHEAT CROP
IS REPORTED FINE
Continued From Page ~

S6.4 per cent OF normal indicating
an acre yield OF approximately l5.z
bushels.
Production of rye, forecast from
May conditions will be S2,629,OOO
bushels, based on condition OF
S5.8 per cent of normal.
Production of hay will be l07, $780,
900 tons based on a condition of 800
per cent of a normal and an expect
ed acreage of 69,551, 10000 acres, of
which 53,605, 900 is tame and 1885,
900 wild.
Acreage Is Disappointing.
While the acreage of winter
wheat was the least ever planted, be-
ing 4lT20,000 acres, it was below
what the department expected plant
ed in order to produce a billion
bushels of wheat this year to help
feed the allies. Adverse conditions
and shortage of farm help were
ascribed as the cause of the failure
to plant the 1887 900 acrs planned
by the government.
The abandonment of acreage as
result of climatic and other winter
conditions was expected this year
to be much lower than the average.
In 1917 the abandonment amounted
to 30 per cent of the area planted,
leaving 27,450,000 acres to be har-
vested. That was practically the
highest percentage abandoned in
any year. In recent years the low
est percentage of abandonment was
2.S in 1908.
Winter wheat conditions on April
| last was 7S.6 per cent of normal,
1872 on May last year, and an aver
age of S5.7 for the previous ten
years.
Rye conditions on April fore
cast a crop OF S6000OO0 bushels
compared with 60,l45,000 bushels
last year and 4S,S62,000 in 1916.
Condition and forecast of produc-
ton of winter wheat by principal
states follow:
Ohio, condition 81; forecast, 49,
$4,000 bushels.
Indiana, % and 47,771,O00.
Illinois, % and 44,l20,0Q0.
Missouri, 95 and 45,964 600.
Nebraska 81 and 47,S84.0O0.
Kansas 81 and o. 100000.

the Santa Fe and Frisco companies
wherein they are charged with
blocking G. street southwest. After
much testimony and more argument,
the case went over until tomorrow
morning. B. c. Morgan, joint agent
for the Frisco and Ringing roads,
said if the members of the Santa Fe
crew would swear they left the
CLOSING clear, he would be obliged
to believe that it was the Frisco
crew that blocked the crossing. In
order to get Jack Homan, foreman
of the Santa Fe crew, in court as a
witness the case went over. A. Ed
deman told of the crossing being
blocked from about II o'clock in the
forenoon to after 80 in the after
noon. Last week the Santa Fe was
fined $40 for blocking this crossing.

feet found 3 feet OF sand. under
this 20 feet of blue shale. and then
80 feet OF oil sand. The flow from
these sands WAS so strong that it
was decided TO finish the well at this
point. and the production Is esti-
mated at better than 200 barrel, by
the drilling contractor and by dis
interested parties. The two sands
found in this well only 20 feet apart
seem to indicate that dipping soutn-
ward these sands may eventually
come together; especially as they
seem to be the same sands found
by the Bigheart people a few loca-

Oil and Gas Journal: Never be
lore has the oil industry raced sucll
shortage OF oil well supplies as
at present, according to George T.
Day, chief OF oil well supplies, Unit
ed States fuel administration.
If the situation does not better
itself soon, it is understood that
priority of shipment will be asked
ior these materials which are es-
sential for the production and trans
portation of oil.
Up to the present, the industry
has been benefited because It has
had large amount Of oil well sup
plies on hand, but they have been
drawn on TO such an extent that
there remains only a small amount
The shortage OF supplies Is due
partly to the TACT that material used
in their manufacture has been sold
to the government for shipbulldlng
and other purposes through prlor-
itv orders, and partly from the TACT
that there has been great activity
in drilling new oil wells during the
last several months.
Shortage OF supplies recently
caused Mark L. Requa, oil admin
istrator, to place an embargo on
their exportation. The shortage IS
keenest in wire rope and pipe.

Lawyer Gets Stolen
Money and Diamonds
rs ''Part of His Fee

Memphis. Tenn, May 6.-Three ne
groes stole $1,000 in money and dia-
monds 20 the value of $1,000 at Hot
Springs, during the races there and
came to Memphis. Local authorities
were notified TO arrest the negroes
The trio went TO jail and their i'll got
ten wealth was locked in q safe at
police headquarters. Abe Cohen. a
local attorney. called on the negroes
and they readily employed him to Sc
cure their release. Incidentally, they
gave him an order on the desk ser
geant for the money and jewels
When the desk sergeant refused to
give I'D the wealth Cohen went into
chancery court and secured writ
Of replevin. Armed with the writ Co
hen secured the wealth. He sued out
another write-a writ Of habeas cor
pus-and the court freed the negroes
A little later officers from Hot
Springs came to get the negroes and
the money. The desk sergeant showed
them the writ Of habeas corpus in
stead Of the prisoners and the re-
ceipts for the money and jewels in
stead Of the money and jewels. The
Hot Springs officers returned to Hot
Springs. Towiag it was little hotter
in Memphis. Cohen claims the money
and jewels as part Of his fee for
defending the negroes.

BLISS LAUNDRY
USED As MODEL
United States Erecting
Units Like It With the
Army in France.

Acknowledgment Of Ell Paso's abil-
ity and inclination to care well for
soldiers stationed here comes in a
communication from Washington, D.
c.. which announces that the Fort
Bliss post laundry. erected and oper-
ated by local laundrymen. was chosen
by the United States government as
a model from which to construct
laundries at the base units in France
and at all army environments in the
United States.
After an inspection Of all the post
laundries in this country, Mai. Clar-
ence L. North has written from Wash
ington to ". F Moulton. manager OF
the post laundry here, announcing the
decision Of federal authorities to use
the local laundry as a pattern. Mana
ger AIoulton was asked to furnish the
government with plans, specifications
kinds Of machinery installed and de-
tails OF system employed in operation.
He Immediately complied with the
request
Nearly two years ago those inter
ested in soldier welfare work called
sibIe to give soldiers here better laun-
dry service. Later a company was
formed in Ell Paso for the purpose OF
improving the service and a contract
entered into with the government At
ter an inspection Of many post laun-
dries and the most modern plants op-
Grated by civilians both in Fl Paso
and in other large cities, plans for
the plant at Fort Bliss were drafted
and the laundry instituted

The post laundry has been In ac-
tual operation only about a year. It
handles no civilian work. attention
being given wholly to accommodating
soldiers. From IS to 100 workers are
employed, depending on the mum Der
OF troops stationed here at different
times. At present by working full ca
pacity manager Moulton states that
10000 soldiers might be accommodate
ed. The plant is so constructed that
So. 900 could be cared for in exactly
the time that 1t would take to get ad-
ditional machinery here from the fac
tory.
Manager 8Ioulton, who is also pres
ident Of the company which erected
the plant. believes that one Of the fea-
lures influencing the selection OF the
local laundry as a model. is the con-
struction Of the building. The struc-
ture is wholly Of steel and may be
readily taken apart and reconstructed
