REPORTS WITH FAVOR
City Engineer Jackson Writes
From Tulsa, |. 7.
FOUND FIELD OF COAL

Extension of Kansas Midland

A letter has been received from City
Engineer Jackson, who left Wichita two
weeks ago to outline preliminary sur
vey for the extension of the Kansas Mid
to South McAlester, saying he has gone
as far as Tulsa, I. T., and that he is
more than pleased at the prospects. Mr..
Jackson was employed some time ago to
go over the country through which the
promoters of the Kansas Midland extern
sion proposed to run the new line and lay
out a route for a preliminary survey. He
was requested, of course, TO select the
richest territory and yet to arrange for
running the road through a country that
would require as little grading as posi-
BILE. He started two weeks ago. taking
only a few instruments, some maps, a
camping outfit and an assistant. He
writes that the country is Of the most
fertile character and that he found coal
within 12O miles Of Wichita. He thinks
that the country holds great opportuni-
ties not only for itself and the people who
settle it, but for Wichita both as whole

There are rich valleys capable of yielding
great fields of corn, wheat and cotton,

and zinc in abundance. Theextension of
the Kansas Midland will mean that Wich-
tia and a great grain country Is to be
brought into straight steam connection
with great mineral country, that Wichi-
ia as a commercial center is to be tied
with a country that would enrich this
business community and grow richer in
return by the reciprocity of traffic. The
money is promised and already a. million
is in sight. Wichita men will go over the
line when Mr.. Jackson returns to COM
plete another step in the work and 1t is
hoped that another year will see the road
