T. T. Beeler, vice president of the ne-
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 possibilitie'
and exigencies of that business, OF
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 DIR. 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 a hole In the ground.
He reflected that an oil well, drilled
from l, 100 to $500 feet in the ground,
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, m
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. DR..
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 10
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,
i'm 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
er possible prospectOrs.

These geological reports bear out to
large extent theory which later be-
came current as TO the origin of the
rich mineral products around Mans
fielar-MO. According to this theory,
Mansfield, one of the highest points in
the district, is the site of a 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 a bee hive
Of fOrtune-hunters. But all of the
promising land in the vicinity had

ciates and they were ready to launch

Their scheme of operation calls ultf-
mately for the organization of local

will be granted concessions around the

which will be enhanced in value with

During the last two weeks of August
