These geological reports bear out to
a large extent a theory which later be-
came current as to the origin of the
rich mineral products around Mans
field, Mo. According to this theory,
Mansfield, one of the highest points in
the district, is the site of prehistoric
volcano. The purest ore is found clos
est to this center, while the adulter-
ated deposits are found as the distance
becomes greater.
Once he had secured rights to the
land, Dr. Beeler's plan became known
and soon the district was bee hive
of .fortune-hunters. But all of the
promising land in the vicinity had
been leased by DR.. Beeler and his asso-
ciates and they were ready to launch
their project.
Their scheme Of operation calls ulti-
mately for the organization of local
companies in each of the forty-flve
states Each of these corporations
will be granted concessions around the
reserved portion Of the leases which
the parent corporation will hold and
which will be enhanced in value with
the growing activity surrounding 1t.
The Kentucky Mansfield Lead &
Zinc Syndicate was incorporated June
13, 1918. Its capital stock of 100000
was quickly sold out. On November
1 1t bought its first mill, which soon
began operations on the ground, ana
on February / 30 dividend for jan
uary was paid stockholders, following
which was paid a 80 dividend for
February.

almost entirely of Kentucky men. DR..

treasurer. Edward ]. McDermOtt, of
Louisville, is the corporations attor-
ney. DR.. Bceler. is one Of the direc-
tors, as is also DR.. Charles A. Funk.
The officers of the LOUISVILLE
MANSFIELD LEAD & ZINC SYNDI-
CATE, which was formed February II,
1918, are the same as those of the
Kentucky syndicate except that DR..
Beeler is vice president and J. c. Ma
hon, we'll known Louisville business
man, is a director. Over half of the
capital stock of 100000 already has
been sold. Offices Of the company are
at 400 Starks Bldg, Louisville.
The stock is being put out at $1.O0
(par value) per share.
The company's property is in the.
heart Of the Ozark Mountains, Wright
County, Mo. One forty.acre tract Is
located between two mills, those Of the
Kentucky syndicate, known as the
Pioneer MIL" and of ". e. Caldwell,
of Louisville, known as the "Red.bir1
Mill" This tract Is considered one of
the best in the district although three
other forty-acre tracts are well located
and partly tested.
So, as the new LOUISVILLE MANS
FIELD LEAD & ZINC SYNDICATE
starts Its wheels a-whirring, the bust
ness romance Of the poor dentist Is
carried farther along its way to the
pocket-books and bank accounts OF
shrewd investors the country over.

nance, for he had lived It, He Is Dr.
T. T. Beeler, vice president Of the new
LOUISVILLE MANSFIELD LEAD &
ZINC. SYNDICATE. He is the mao
who, eleven years ago, while a prac-
ticing dentist In an Oklahoma town,
became interested in western oil de-
veiOpment. With holdings In 157 oil
wells after he had become successful
in that game, DIR. Beeler had wide op-
portunities TO observe the possibilities
and exigencies of that business, or
game, as it may rightly be called. He
saw men carried up into the realm Of
sudden riches; he saw hopes fulfilled
beyond their own limits. But he saw
the other side, too, Of the oil game
its uncertainty, and the ruin that this
uncertainty brought to some.
One day Dr. Beeler heard about the
strike made in the famous Joplin zinc
ore district. He began studying the
possibilities OF the new found. Oppor-
tunity. He reflected that In the oil
business, when a well was drilled, no
mortal could with certainty tell which
of four things would be the result
OIL, water, gas or hole In the ground.
He reflected that an oil well. drilled
from LOO to $500 feet in the ground,
cost from $1,000 to $4,000 before its
real promise was known. And thee
ne compared this with data he had
gathered about the mining industry, In
which natures store of wealth lies
comparatively close to the surface aud
covers great areas, necessitating, IN
proportion, a small initial outlay. He
applied this comparison particularly to
what he had heard about the Joplin
Mansfield fields.
DR.. Beeler was not long in making
up his mind. 1t was two years ago In
Kansas City that the project, which is
now being carried to every state in
the Union, had its inception. DIR.
Beeler had selected a partner, severed
his connections with the oil fields, and
had employed an agent, versed in the
technique of such an undertaking, to
investigate opportunities in the Joplin
district.
But it was by chance that the real
opportunity was found. One day,
when Dr. Beeler's emissary was fruit
lessly pickering with people In the
field to which prospectors were al
ready swarming, an old man called
him aside.
"If you want to see an unworked To-
cality, I want to show you something"
said the old man.
As the result of the investigation
and assaying which followed. DR.. Beel-
er, his partner and several notaries,
In all of the public automobiles the
nearby town afforded, set out in the
late afternoon in what Is now the
Mansfield district. The chauffeurs and
the notaries and all others with whom
the party came in contact were bound
to secrecy. There were neither auto
mobiles nor notaries available for 9TH
or possible prospectors.
That was October 16, 1917. In a day
or SO, the prospectors- had secured
leases on $4,000 acres of land rich i'm
ore, and had laid the foundation OF
the project which il DOW becoming ma
