fault. The present year promises
geat progressive strides in the zinc
mining game, especially in the rich
new localities where the ore recovery
is so vast as compared to the old sheet
ground districts which in years gone
by produced millions of dollars worth
Of ore.
Picher, Oklahoma, has developed into
one of the worlds greatest mining
camps and claims the distinction of
being the greatest Of all zinc camps.
Its mines have produced millions in
wealth and the town, which is the
center of intense activity, has grown
from a few scattering little shacks
into a busy mining city within the
past two years. Its population, not
including Tar River and Douthat,
which have separate post offices, is
estimated by the government at 5000
and is growing rapidly, Besides the
busy hive of industry, known as
Picher, there are several other min
ing camps Of remarkable activity,
among them being Quapaw, Com
merce, Cardin, Tar River. st. Louis,
Peoria and Lincolnville, while Miami
has grown into a busy little CONNER
cial city.
Just north of the Oklahoma state
line the rich Baxter field is reached

vicinity have given a new impetus to
the growth of the town Of Baxter

Oklahoma City capitalists who are
mining on the same extensive scale
that characterizes all Of their opera

doubtless figure largely in the pres

Oklahoma, The Wonder
of Zinc Mining
By C. B. GORDON.

The zinc fields of Oklahoma and the
other new mining territory along the
Kansas-MissouriOk Oklahoma borders
have been the surprise in the zinc-lead
mining industry for the past two
years. In the year 1917 Oklahoma,
the wonder of zinc mining, carried
off the laurels as a great zinc pro
ducer and from the extensive develop
ments planned or in progress, it prom
ises to be a world beater in 1918. All
of the Oklahoma developments have
occurred within the past 10 years and
the operations of much consequence
have generally been within the past
three years. The once fertile prairies,
which furnished grazing for countless
thousand cattle, are now covered with
zinc and lead mines, mining camps,
towns and cities, and where the COW
boys rode on their bronchos now the
mining men ride in their autos.
The beginning of the Oklahoma min
ing activity dates from the develop
ment begun by the far-seeing and
progressive men who control the Com
merce Royalty Company about ten
wears ago. The rich ore discoveries
at Picher, four years ago, gave a new
Impetus to this activity and started
the mining boom which has extended
in all directions and has grown beyond
the state limits, into Kansas and Mis-
souri, opening up new territory from
Picher, Oklahoma, to what is known
as the Baxter and Waco fields.
In the year 1917 the Oklahoma
mines produced zinc and lead as fol
lows: MiamiPicher district, 3OS,555-
2SO pounds of zinc ore valued at $1O,-
993,O71, and 53,477,3 $50 pounds of lead
ore, valued at $2,752,SO3, representing
a total value of $13,716714 Quapaw
