ANOTHER 25O-TON MILL
NEAR QUAPAW, OKLA.

The Bethlehem Zinc company owns
lease on the 160 acres adjoining
Quapaw on the east, and is now tear
,ng down the old mill, preparatory to
the erection of a new 250-ton mod
ern mill. The old mill was known as
The Hannibal and st. Joe. The prop
erty has two shafts down to and into
the ore, and the showing is good. In
fact, the company milled several hun
dred tons of ore in the old mill. One
shaft is through 25 feet of high-grade
ore, showing considerable lead, and
the other shaft is 10 feet in the ore
with a good bottom. The latter is
being sunk and the two shafts are
being connected.
The Bethlehem company is an Ok
lahoma organization, with head Of
fees in Oklahoma City. They recent
ly paid $4,000 for the old mill and
for sub-leases in order to reduce tne
royalty to five per cent, the present
rate.
The capital is 100000, and is
amply financed for all improvements
and operations. They expect to have
the new mill in operation within 81
days. Tom L. Wade, well knowr
banker, of NARROW, is president; j
H. KrontOl, banker and miller, o1
Yukon, is vice-president; H. H
Hughes, one time mine operator, oi
Old Mexico, is general manager.
The property has been tested Will
twenty odd drill holes and the show
ing indicates that the ore is disemi
mated throughout the entire tract
There is considerable development ol
all sides. The company has sub
leased so acres to one company ant
30 acres to another, having 80 acre
in reserve.

PREMIUMS TO HELP
NEXT LIBERTY LOAN
Government Considering Prop
OsitiOn of Premiums to Put
Required Pep in Sub
scribers to Next Loan


New York, Mar. 9-Premium draw
ling bonds, the latest and most alluring
plan for the third Liberty Loan issue
are suggested by J. W. Hartman, Of
the Hartman National Bank Of New
York City.
His belief in the drawing power OF
such bonds is indicated by the offer
of the bank to make an initial sub
scription of $5,OOO,OOO, and thereafter
to the limit Of It's liability.
The plan is based on two motives
patriotism and the preservation Of ex-
isting security values for savings
banks, insurance companies and the
investing public.
Mr.. Hartman figures on a bong
issue of s5,O0O,0OO,0 900, maturing in
thirty years and to bear interest at
the rate of three per cent. Only one
half of one per cent, or $25, ,O0O, 900, of
the entire issue could be appropriated
each year for redeeming, at
premium, q certain number of the
bonds, by semi-drawing, by lot.
"If the prospect is for the necessity
of q rate of four and one-half per
cent on the next loan, this plan would
effect a saving in the interest rate
equal to S50,OOO,O00 annually, OF
81 500 100000 during the life of the
ISSUE" Mr.. Hartman explains. "The
semi-annual reduction Of the debt
would further save interest.
"The schedule of premiums could
be worked out along lines employed
by the city of Paris, which for fifty
years has availed itself of the allure
ments of Premium Bond. The plan
has been employed with unvarying
success by lie Credit Foncier dc
France, and was used for floating the
French Panama Canal issue.
"There is q universal human in
stinct that reacts with promptness to
the prospect of a prize. Mark the
effort of the Government to touch this
instinct in offering War Savings
Stamps at S4.12 to be repaid at So. II
War Savings Stamps, why not
Premium Bonds?
A schedule of premiums in connec-
ton with this suggestion has been
worked out by F. Y. Dalzel, of this
city. 1t was used with unvarying sue
cess and was the means of floating
the French Panama Canal issue. The
schedule represents semi-annual draw
ings of 2,OO1 bonds at q premium.
Mr.. Harriman's further comment on
the new suggestion was:
"The Hartman National Bank ven
lures the prophecy that subscription
to the proposed premium drawing
bond would be overwhelmingly large"

FORGOT WHAT HE NEEDED

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when q
Young gentleman came to this office
and asked for q copy of the Morrow
County Republican. H escrutinized IT
carefully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: "Now don't
knowl" "What is it you are looking
for" we inquired. "My wife sent me
after a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and forgot the name: l
went to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line t,,, on
the shelf except 'Chamberlain's., III
try again, and I'll never go home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy." The Republican would suggest
10 the proprietors Of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith N
stores where substituting is permitted

makers Of good goods and the disap-
poiutment Of customers.

what the national" weeklies will
do.
There was day when the week
