(UP) King Lout XIV of Franc and John Law, mast er promoter, sank $200,000,000 Into extravagant mine explorations in vie Ozark region, and went bankrupt. Yet, In the trl-state area of Mis souri, Arkansas and Kansas alone more than a billion dollars' worth of lead and zinc concentrates have been mined.

For half a century the French miners prowled through the hills searching for silver and gold. They found large quantities of zinc and lead. Following the French debacle In Ozark mine exploring, the Spaniards came. They were better miners. They found deposits of sliver In caves, but if they made any profit able discoveries history falls to re veal them.
