land offices, county boundaries and
county seats in the Strip and Kick.
apoo lands soon to be opened to settle
ment, reached Guthrie last Friday,
and 10 an interview In the Leader
gave out the following data that will
prove OF interest to all who contem-
plate going upon the said lands when
opened:
THE Strip Is to be divided into
nine counties and the department
thought it advisable to establish four
land offices. My mission Is to select
the location Of the county seats and
land offices, and II possible TO have
my work completed and report sent
In before August |. Since my arrival
here | have become impressed with
the idea that the intending settlers
In the eastern portion Of the Strip
could be as well accommodated II
that territory was attached to the
Guthrie and Kinglsher districts,
which would reduce the number ~
new offices to two. However, this is a
matter for the department to de-
eide"
1.-THE last county to be named in
Oklahoma was 1.-The Wichita coun-
try, not opened to settlement. On
account OF the similarity OF the let
tens, 1t was decided to skip and begin
with X in the northeast corner OF the
Strip. West Of there will be L, NJ,
n; o will be located south Of n. and
east will come P, @ and r, with the
fiat iron country named s.
1.-The land offices will be located at
Woodward, near Fort Supply; Alva,
near the Kansas line on the Southern
Kansas road: Skeleton on the Rock
Island road few miles north Of the
Kingfsher county line, and at Perry
or Red Rock on the Santa Fe."
"When do you think the Strip will
be opened?"
1T is very much desired to have
the opening take place as early as
September /. Everything has been
accomplished in the way Of prelimin-
airy work with the exception Of ap-
proving the seyenty-one allotments
and that which | am detailed TO per-
form.
"The proclamation opening the
country to settlement has been writ
ten and is now in Commissioner Lam
eroux' hands awaiting for the descrip-
tiOn Of the land to be incorporated
therein and the additional reserva-
tions for school purposes, should any
| be decided upon"

NOT A SHELL EXPLODED.
FoURMoR DISAPPOINTING SHOTS
AT PORT ROYAL.

The Projectues Landed 10 the Vicinity
of the Target and Sank Harmless to
the Bottom of the Barbor-A Great
Deal Of Work to Do Very Little
Firing.
PoRr ROYAL, s. C, Feb. 1.-The We
suvius remained at the naval station dock
this morning until midday, before getting
in readiness to resume her target practice
IN the lower harbor, Some alterations
were made on the gunpowder shells, which
consumed time. The work aboard tnued
until late in the night and
related mainly to the assemblsEe
of the fuses and the filing OF the shells with
cement. The charge Of powder ia the pro-
jectiles fred to-day was increased from ten
20 fifteen pounds with the intention Of max
ing whatever explosion that might occur
more perceptible. The gunpowder con-
tanned in four Of seven shells was placed 10
sacks with a view of accomplishing its de-
tonation more rapidly. Capt. Rapief holds
20 the belief that in three OF the nve shells
fred yesterday the RuupowdeT was dls-
persed by the more rapid action OF the gun
cotton and failed to explode. DE believes,
however, that all the fuses have fulfilled
both of powder and cotton.
LATE IN GETTING TO WORK.
It was 2;3O O'Clock this afternoon before
practice was begun to-day. The members
of the board who yesterday watched the
tests from the Nesuvlus selected the w an
META for their observatory to-day. Capts.
Escarte and Barker boarded the Nahuetta
shortly before o'clock p. IN. and steamed
abreast and TO the south Of the target. The
aar Of
yards from the target The range selected
was the same as that Of yesterday-2,OOO
yards.
The first shot was fired from the port gun.
1t fell almost on the buoy line, duplicating
with approximate accuracy the shot from
the same gun yesterday. From the Nhh-
META no explosion was noticed ana TINS
view was substantiated by Lieut.. Acker-
man, who was photographing the proJectue
from a steam launch.
The second shot was from the starboard
gun. Ii fell fully % or 30 yards short Of
the buoy line, without any explosion.
The course of both shells under water was
distinctly marked by white wake Of foam.
Lieut.. Acke-msn shouted across TO the tug
that difference was noted between these
and the dummy projectles.
The Wshnetts returned to the Vesuviuss
where the board gave instructions regard
ing certain changes IN the fuses.
A third shot followed with the same rec
suits. The projectile fell within the buoy
line and scarcely 40 YARDS from the target,
but no explosion resulted.
No better results were attained by the
fourth and last shot of the day The pro-
jectile fell probably l25 yards short Of the
target without exploding.
The Vesuvfus and the Wshnetts returned
90 the naval station dock during the after
noon, and the former vessel will remain
there till Monday.
