a Great Lease.

Jesse Heydrick and Esq. Kennedy
will return to the Indian Territory in
the near future on business connected
with their great lease of million
acre of the Greek country, which they
are organizing companies to develop.
They have an immense thing there
but it will take some capital to develop
it, and put it on paying basis.
AS far as oil and gas are concerned

report to the Sec'y of the Interior says:
THE we'll put down to depth of /, 100
feet in the Usage Reservation, near
Pawhuska, two years ago was recently
opened and made a run of 300 barrels.
Paying wells are being put down in all
parts of the Creek county just east of
Oklahoma A local company is putting
down a well at Guthrie.
These known deposits of oil, together
with the fact that part of Oklahome lies
in direct line from the oil fields OF
Kanses to those of Texas, all indicate
that at some place in the Territory gas
and oil will be found in pay quantities.
