pfCS4tIDIIJ, anu ~. 4. CureJOn is SeCTe-
tary. w. f. NewbOld, of Louisville, is
treasurer. Edward J. McDernOtt, Of
Louisville, is the corporations attOr-
ney. DR.. Beeler 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 21,
1918, are the same as those of the
Kentucky syndicate except that DIR.
Beeler is vice president and ]. c. Ma
hon, well 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 Starlis Bldg, Louisville
The stock is being put out at $1.00
(par yalue) per share.
The cOmpany's property is in the
heart of the Ozark Mountains, Wright
County, Mo. One fOrty-asre tract is
located between two mills, those of the
Kentucky syndicate, known as the
"Pioneer MILL" and of w. 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

carried farther along its way to the
pocket-books and bank accounts of
shrewd investors the country over. 1,

Building a small keen-eyed man, try
ing to make every minute yield its
quota of result of an atmosphere of
high pressure, knows all about the TO-
nance, for he had lived it. He is DIR.
I. L. Beeler, vice president of the new
LOUISVILLE MANSFIELD LEAD &
ZINC SYNDICATE. He is the man
who, eleven years ago, while a prac-
ticing dentist in an Oklahoma town,
became interested in western oil de-
velopment. With holdings in 157 oil
wells after he had become successful
in that game, DR.. 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
pre- 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
1 % -,
cost from $1,000 to $4,000 before its
real promise was known. And then
he compared this with data he had
gathered about the mining industry, in
which natures store of wealth lies
comparatively close to the surface and
covers great areas, necessitating, IN
proportion, 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.
eff you want to see an unworked To-
cality, 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,
