OLD ST. JOE PASSES
Ancient Landmark in Quapaw Dis
trict Being Torn DOwn-New
Mill Erected

By Frank Hills in the Miami Herald
The Hannibal and st. Joe mill nj
Quapaw, one of the ancient land
marks of the field, it being one OF
the first to operate in the district, is
being tornd own and q new 25O-ton
concentration plant has been bought
and will be built on the site as soon
rs the old one is out of the way.
The Hannibal and st. Joe mine has
always been known as a rich one,
but on account of the heavy head Of
water there in the early days it was
impossible to mine more than six feet
Of the top of the run, which was the
poorest of the ore and only few feet
from each Of the two shafts, which,
taken with the high royalty the early
operators paid caused the plant to
shut down for several years.
Last summer the Bethel Zinc COM
pany, an Oklahoma City corporation
purchased the Hannibal and St. Joe
property, consisting of the mill and
100 acres of leases, then by paying a
large amount, said to have been
100000, they whitfield the 171s per
cent royalty down to 5 per cent orig
inal royalty of the Indian owner,
Ribleased a 50-acre tract to one COM
pany and a 30-acre one to another
at Is per cent and still have 80 acres
on which they will erect the new mill
which may be followed by others If
the ground tests out as it is believed
Il win.
Not only is the work Of razing the
old mill being pushed the limit, but
the work in the ground is being
rushed, as well Is all haste is being
made in getting an air shaft cut
through between the two shafts.
Superintendent H. Hughes, for
Is years a mining engineer in Old
Mexico, who has lately come to the
Bethlehem people, states that he is
taking up a 25-fOOt stope in the
mine, which the former operators
could not get on account OF the wa
ter and that q little later he will
sink deeper, as he has not found the
bottom Of the run yet. He says that,
while the mine has not been though'
70 be a lead proposition, the men IN
the ground are getting into dirt tha ~
win pay well in that metal as wen
AZ zinc, which LOOKS well at TINS
time on account Of the high price Oh
led.

CANNOT PENETRATE ORE FACE
Caves and Water Courses Make II
Impossible To Go Beyond
so Feet

Miami, Okla, April 6-The Zig
Lead Mining company which is devel-
oping a tract on the Kansas side, the
NEA of the SE,4 of Section 1858
4 part OF the Cooper land, has given
up the ideA of getting through the
high face of ore after satisfying the
members of the company that ii Is
heavy enough at any rate.
Seventeen holes have been drilled
BY the company and while they have
penetrated the depth Of so feet, it has
been impossible to learn its thickness
on account of the tangle of water
courses and caves that make it i'm
possible to go further.
Not only the fact that the seven
teen holes show great run of ore on
The lease, but that the neighboring
tracts which have been drilled make
t plain that the district about the
Big Lead property is unusually rich
and a shaft is to be started by the
Big Lead company within few days
to be followed soon by an un-to-date
concentration plant.
The officers of the company are
j. A. Settle, BoyntOn, president; c. G.
Pool, Muskogee, vice-president; D. G.
Bailey, Muskogee, secretary and
treasurer, and ]. f. Hoshal, MusEo'
gee general manager!
