Perry. o. T, March 13.-(SpeciaD-
The excitement over the discoveries of
different kinds of the precious metals
near our city is increasing daily. Per-
sons who have heretofore been incredu-
| lous are beginning to take an inteSest in
| the assays that are coming in and il
/ is true that the prospect is good for this
place soon becoming mining town or
no mean proportions. South of the city
| enc shaft is being sunk by parties who
ask no favors Of any one and VINO evi-
IDENTIFY mean business. They have six
| men at work and are already down fl
teen feet and have struck a mineral
paint which is being barrelled. Our
hotel is crowded with strangers coming
! in to see and verify the reports for
themselves. There is not hotel in the
city with a spare room, and the crowd
| IS increasing daily.
Messrs. Perry and Welch of this city,
received returns yesterday from sam
pies of ore sent to Norman a few days
/ ago of which the following is a copy:

The rock Of which the above is an
assay was found near Perry.
Mr.. Burch, a liveryman of this citAy,
has a piece of pure silver about cubic
inch in size which he himself melted
out of a rock over a gasoline stove, the
stone being found south of the city.
The strata from which the above
sample was taken and assayed dips a.
an angle OF about thirty degrees and
disappears in the bank.
Another assay received by Perry and
Welch of date the 9Th inst, gives the
following results:

In few days men of means will be
here TO look over the field and make
permanent investments. Much of the
property has already been leased. 9th
ers are afraid to say one word about
the hidden wealth on their farms for
fear Uncle Sam viii in some way de-
prive them of it by declaring the lands
mineral lands. The people round about
here not being miners are ignorant OF
their rights and privileges and these
assays are driving them wild and they
do not know what to do. The Perry
Mining company was organized a few
days ago in this city.
The following named gentlemen were
elected the first board Of directors:
s A Hemple. H w Hanley. Dick T.
Morgan, A. c. Hinde, W. NJ. Sohn, II. c.
Schilling, f. II. Perry, Z. II. Beasley
and w. o. Nieir.
The company filed articles off incorpo-
ration with Score tary Lowe today, with
q capital stock of S1,000000.
The board of directors met at 9 o'clock
this morning and elected the following
named gentlemen officers of the COM
pany:
Dick T. Morgan. president; T. H.
Reasley. vice president; w. o. Mieir,
secretary; s. A. Hemple. treasurer; +.
NJ. SOhn, A. c. Hinde and II. c. Schir-
ing were appointed as an executive
committee.
The main office Of the company will
bel coated in this city. at the northwest
corner of Seventh and ID STREETS. where
rooms viii be furnished and fitted up
in good style. The company will begin
at once 10 operate. and will open shafts
i'm three different localities, and will soon
be shipping copper, lead and zinc ores.
They have employed two men, with
twenty years experience in the mines,
rs foremen, who viii take charge Of the
mines.
A large number of shares in this COM
Tany were taken last night and today,
and it starts out under the most f1atter-
ing conditions.
About a week ago Major r. F. Con-
over. president of the Santa Fe and
Oklahoma Mining company, sent a
the prize near Perry, TO J. y. Hurry,
assayist and chemist at Indianapolis.
Ind, and asked that il be aSsayed and
the certificate forwarded to him.
Below is an exact copy of the certifi-
cate received today by Major Conover:

Indianapolis, Ind. March s, 1896
Mr.. George, Il. Conover:
Your sample of ore. marked "Okla-
homa." contains in each ton OF 1000
pounds:
Silver, 4 ounces at 80 cents per ounce,
$500
Copper. 81 per cent.
J. y. Hurry, Assayer
This is a splendid showing and leaves
no doubt as 10 the value of this find.
The ore is worth about $4,000 per ton
and = company has leases on large
number Of acres of land and will open
two or three mines within a few days
as soon as their mining machinery ar
riVeS and is put in place. This COM
pany Will enter into active mining or
erations and have an abundance of cap
ital with which 10 promote their finan-
cial opera tons.
The forma lion from which the miner
al has been taken is peculiar in many
respects. Stretching for several miles
nj an irregular way south from this
city the broken lands lie. For the
most part the land is Of a very inferior
quality for agricultural purposes. i is

ces. huge boulderS of enormous size lie
