Rhys James had the misfortune

Rhys James had the misfortune
to burn up his Ford last Saturday
evening. The gas tank had
sprung a leak, we are told, and
going home Saturday evening the
car baked" a short distance
from his house. Going behind
the car Rhys lit a match to see if
he could locale the trouble when
the gas that had been leaking out
of the tank caught fire and lead
up TO the tank burning up the en-
tire car. Hard luck that's sure.

OIL POSSIBILITIES
NOT ALL TALK

The next great treasure to b
brought to light in the OK. fielt
is crude oil and that commodity viii
be brought out of the ground at ar
early date.
The shallow strikes that have been
brought in of late have caused quite
a bit Of inquiry to be made by men
from different parts of the country
and it is only a matter Of short time
when the drills will be operating for
the greasy fluid.
A lotof fellows will scott at this but
the same fellows scoffed when some
one said that they had found silver in
sandstone but sandstone is where they
look for it now. They said lead wasn't
found in limerick but several mines
in the Miami field show how foolish
that prattle is. They say that oil is
never found in q lead and zinc coun-
try but the oil has been found, in fact
it is seeping out of the ground in diff
ferent places in the district which
makes the knockers appear like the
farmer who turned away from the gi-
raffe with the declaration, There
amt no such animal"
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1918-07-12

Among the finds Of oil here are
those at the Blue Mound lease, north
Of Picher, the Mary Ann, at st. Louis
and on sections 20, "a and 10, in town.
ship 20, range "a, northeast Of Qua
paw, and even in an artesian well in
this city, which was never finished for
some unknown reason.
In the early day, there was an oil
spring where the Admiralty mills now
stand at DOuthat and ]. P. McNaugh-
ton, of this city, scraped out a basin
several yards across, which he visited
regularly and skinned oil from the
water which he used on his machin-
cry and harness and gave to his
neighbOrs.
Old timers state that the oil is still
seeping from the ground in different
parts of the country, SO, even if the
wise ones tell you it can't be here, it
is here just the same and some day
an enterprising chap will come along
and make million on oil just as easy
as some made several millions out Of
the lead and zinc industry while the
wise acres kept on saying 1t wasn't
here.-Miami Record Herald.

new FLUID FOR
SOLDERING METALS
Invented By Baxter Springs Man
and Promises To Expand
the Market for Zinc
Company Forming.

Recently there was published in the
Daily Citizen a news item regarding
the invention by Oliver Greenstreet
of this city, Of q soldering fluid that
was destined to prove a revolution in
the science Of uniting different kinds
Of metals.
The new. fluid under demonstration
showed q number Of distinct advant-
ages over the process now generally
in use.
Most important Of these features is
the fact that with the fluid invented
by Mr.. Greenstreet very much less
heat is required than with the old time
soldering fluid. This at once suggest
ed the possibility of soldering zinc, a
feat that heretofore has never been
successfully accomplished for the
reason that zinc, being a soft metal,
would burn under the application Of
the intense heat necessary to make
the solder flow.
Practical tests with the new fluid
demonstrated that solder will flow
freely with so little heat that zinc can
easily be Joined and the union made
stronger than the solid metal itself.
It has been claimed by practical
metal men that the consumption of
zinc would be greatly increased if a
process could be discovered that would
make the soldering Of 1t successful.
The new fluid invented by Mr.. Green
street appears to furnish this need in
every particular.
Another favorable feature Of the
new fluid compared with the old is the
absence of the disagreeable odor that
is emitted when the fluid now in COM
mon use by tinsmiths is used.
This new fluid has been tested out
in soldering brass, copper, tin, nickle,
gold, silver, black and galvanized iron
and other metals with equal success.
It's merits have been demonstrated
before numbers Of experienced metal
men, all have given it the highest
kind of endorsement.
Mr.. Greenstreet, since the first ar
ticle concerning his invention appear
ed in the Daily Citizen, received many
offers for his invention. But he has
decided to put the new product on the
market with a local company, which
is now being formed.
His present associates in the enter
prise are his partners in the mining
business, J. F. Brown and George Lur-
wick, with J. Fl. Clark Of Joplin, as
attorney.
Just now the details OF patenting
the invention are under way. This has
progressed to a point where it is
known that there are no prior patents,
and nothing appears to stand in the
way of Mr.. Greenstreet, in securing
his patent. He has named his fluid
"Ezflo," Soft Soldering, Fluid.
