America Tells Britain.

keep calm to prevent German in
vasion.
America Tells Britain.
Information concerning these
plots has been gathered by several
investigating agencies of the United
! States government and turned over
to the state department, which for
warded it to representatives. OF the
British government. In many cases
the information provided leads by
which British secret agents found
evidence Of plotting in Ireland.
Negotiations were allowed to pro-
ceed for some time in the hope that
more of the plotters would be
rounded up finally; and the arrests
are believed to have been ordered
by British officials at this time be-
cause it became evident that an open
outbreak was about TO be precipi-
tated. 1t was hinted today that a
number of Sim Fcin sympathizers
in the United States are under watch
for further developments in the
Irish plot.
Confirms British Statement.
The secret system OF negotiations
had been in progress for several
months. it is understood. This tends
to confirm the statement from Lon
don that the series of arrests sew
eral days ago had no direct connec-
tion with plans to conscript the
Irish. Some information was OBJ
tanned from the Germans now held
in internment camps in this coun-
try. There is indication also that
the seat OF the German-lriSh nego-
tiationS was transferred at times to
other American republics.
1t was made plain here today that
the United States government in
terest in the Irish plots is solely to
prevent Germany by this method
from attacking co-beligerents OF the
United States. and that this govern
meut is not seeking to interfere in
the Irish situation, except for this
reason.
As soon as all the persons sus-
pected of participating in the con
>piracies are arrested the evidence
already gathered may be made public
10 show the necessity for nipping
the plot at this time. Some doubt
exists as TO whether these diSclos-
ures will be made in London or
Washington. Officials heer today
were inclined to believe that they
would come from the British gov
ernment.

II. b. Dooley, Of the Sunflower
Zinc & Lead Company, an Ardmore
corporation, has returned alter a
trip to the company's properties in
the Miami field where a shaft is be
ing sunk. Mr.. Dooley expects to
return to Miami to remain in charge
of the work there until the prop
erty is on a producing basis.
Miami Record Herald: The
greatest activity ever shown in the
Miami mining field has been going
on in the month OF May, 1918
More mills have been turned over
or are within a few days OF opera
ton than at any period OF three
times that length OF time.
The fact that the low grades OF
ore are not selling for the amount
that many would like to have them,
has made the knocker slash about
with his little hammer, but the TACT
remains that there never has been
such month as this one Tor de
velopment.
4 trip through the field Wednes-
day brought out the fact that the
following named mills had either
been started in May or would be
ready to operate within the next
two weeks: Pioneer, Webber
Southland, Ramona, Whitebird
Producers Lead and Zinc, Pittsburg
Miami, keltner, Lucky Strike, COL
den Eagle, Miami Metals, Carne-
gle. Federal, Medical, Queen rs,

sion. Indian Queen, Blue Bonnet,
Quajack, KcnteX, Old Reliable.
Lucky Joe. Big Jack, Hawkins. Red
Eagle, Billikin, Associated, Brin-
son Kirtley. Muskogee. Springfield,
st. Louis Lead and Zinc. Leonora,
Red Rose, True Blue, Good Luck,
Santa Fe. Turner.
4 number of other mills are un-
der construction and several Just
started. at least twenty altogether,
and as mills cost on an average OF
something like $S50O0 each, it will
be seen that while the croaker will
bemoan the fact that ore is not sell
ing as high as it did in 1915, enough
men believe in the future OF the
Miami field to be constructing S.
100000 worth OF mills which
should be producing 1000 tons OF
concentrates a day within the next
TWO weeks.
The construction of mills is a
mall item when compared with
the great activity in building buSi-
mes, and dwelling houses through
out the district, which amounts to.
many millions
The reason for the great conf
dencc of the field is that it is the
belief of the greater masses that
zinc will be in greater demand in a
very short time than ever before. as
IL will be necessary to open the gal
vanizing plants to supply the de
mand for galvanized ware which Is
growing more acute all the time.
and the time and the embargo on
tin will make IL necessary to use
sheet zinc in It's place
lust at present the price on low
grade ore Is not as high as it should

who are spending millions in de-
velOpmeut work that as soon as the

has secured a sufficient supply OF
