OKLAHOMA PROSPECTS.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
The part of Oklahoma opened to set
tlement by the Presidents recent pro-
clamation is undoubtedly well adapted
to farming, but those who contemplate
removing to it, or investing in it, should
remember two things-its limited ex-
tent with the great number of those
who want to settle in it and the cOndi-
tion of settlement. Only 1881, 800 acres
compose it, while there are some 10000
people already encamped about its bor-
ders ready to rush in and take up claims
on April %, and several thousands more
fastening toward it to be ready for the
rush on that date. Dividing the whole
amount of land into regulation claims
of 160 acres it will be seen that only H.
79S can be accommodated, supposing
that none of the land is waste and that
none will be cut up into town sites,
which will not be the case. however.
Allowing for the decrease in land from
both these causes, it will be seen that
only about 10000 of the settlers will be
able to be accommodated on the 100
acre homestead claims, and the towns
yet to be built will have to look after
the remaining dozen thousands or So.
The existing homestead law applies to
all the lands with the important excep-
ton that no entry can be committed.
A residence upon the land of five years
alone gives the right to submit final
proof The law recognizes no transfer
of ownership or right of entry before
the acceptance of final proof. These
provisions are intended to discourage
any but bona tide permanent settlers
and will prevent speculation to a large
extent. The opening of this small part
of the Indian Territory is but the begin
ming of the end of that Territory as an
Indian reservation, so that would be-set-
tiers of this small part who cannot be
accommodated have only to wait for a
few months, when they will be able to
choose from vast area. Last week the
President appointed commission to
negotiatewith the Cherokee and other In
dians for the cession to the United
States of the lands embraced between
all of the Indian Territory west of the
Goth degree of longitude, except Greer
county, the part to be opened April %,
containing in all some 100000 acres.
The act that created the above commits
sion and clothed it with power provides
that the negotiations for the Cheokee
outlet shall proceed and upon arrival
at agreement shall be opened to settle
ment without further Congressional ac-
tion, witch will enlarge the territory
soon to be opened to about 26,000,000
acres an area that ought to more than
supply the present large demand for
Government land.

MILLIONS IN OIL,

JOHN MCKEOWNS S WONDERFUL LUCK
HE ARRIVES AT CASTLE GARDEN AL
MOST PENNILEss-AND NOW ENJOYS
AN INCOME OF NEARLY $4,000 A
MONTH FROM HIS OIL WELLS ALONE.
Pittsburgh Letter to Cincinnati Com. Gazette.
Everybody in the oil country is talk
ing about John McKeown's luck. He
is a resident of Washington, Pa, al
ready the richest individual oil producer
in the world, and still he is finding great
flowing wells where other producers
would expect "dry holes" To-day his
three wells, recently drilled on the Knox
farms, in the Taylorstown district, are
flowing in the aggregate fifty-six barrels
an hour The price Of oil in the Tay-
lorstown field, including the premium, is
| 81 IS a barrel. This makes Mr.. Nc
Keown's income from these three wells
alone $l,5J9 a day. This is very small
part of his income from his wells, us he
has productive wells in almost every
district in the Pennsylvania oil regions.
/ He has wells in the Washington, Tay-
| lorstOWn, Butler and Bradford fields.
and persons familiar with his business
estimate his productions at fifty thou
sand barrels 4 month. On all of this
oil, except that from his wells in Brad
ford, he received premium of from
20 to % cents barrel above the market
price. His income cannot be far from
! $55,000 a month from his oil wells
alone.
About the time the oil excitement
broke out in Oil Creek McKeown landed
at Castle Garden, from Ireland, without
ten dollars ahead. He came at once to
the oil country and found his first en-
ployment at 81 a day, using the pick
and shovel grading for oil derricks and
/ tank seats. He soon became con
tractor himself, grading for derrioks and
tanks, but was not heard of as a pro.
ducer until the great Bradford field be-
gan to attract attention. He had OBJ.
| tanned some leases on the Bingham
lands that subsequently proved to be
among the richest in the district. Every
well was success. He left Bradford a
very rich man and went to Butler coun-
ty, then coming in as oil territory, and
bought small farm near Martinsburg.
Although undeveloped, like his Brad.
ford lands, 1t proved to be honanza prop
erty and he soon realized another for
tune here. From Butler lie followed
the oil excitement to Washington ooun-
ty, and his LUCK here has been the won
der of the oil trade. 1t was in this
county that he developed probably the
richest spot ever discovered in the oil
regions, not excepting the rich strikes
of the early oil excitement. He had
