INVEST IN COLORADO DIRT.
Parties in Ardmore Purchase n Gold
Mine Near Denver.

w. b. Johnson's visit to Cripple
Creek, Colorado, as a delegate to
the Commercial Congress, will re-
suit with much good to our nation.
This congress is made up of the
most influential men of the trans
Mississippi portion of the United
States, and the resolutions they
adopt have great weight in the
United States congress.
But aside from going as a dele.
gate, Nr. johnson made business
trip. Judge Townsend. Mr.. John
son, G. NJ. Campbell, Chas. Ander-
son and other Ardmore people have
held lease, with bond for title,
on a Colorado gold mine. This
lease would have expired on Au-
gust 30, so while Mr.. johnson was
in the west he closed a deal by
which the company becomes the
owners of the mine, and the money
in payment for the same was sent
from Ardmore yesterday.
This mine is located ten miles
from Central City and fifty eight
miles from Denver, in the oldest
gold fields of Colorado. The eli
mate there is delightful, the mount.
aims being covered with perpetual
snow. The company incorporated
under the laws of Colorado a year
ago, with a capital stock of $3.50, e
600.
The company has one tunnel $50
feet in depth and another 343 feet &.
The ore from the tunnels assay S
$ll3 to the ton and the float, or
surface ore, assays $4.l6 to the
ton. With the machinery now
used, ore that will assay $15 to the
ton can be operated with profit.
There is included in this mining
property three patented gold claims
the Pennsylvania, the Philadel-
phia aud the Juno-and contains
about ten acres.
A big stamp mill has been placed
on an adjoining mine, within a few
yards of the company's property.
Work will begin on these mines
some time during the fall months.
The mouths of the tunnels are pro-
tected with buildings which will
admit of the work being carried on
during the winter season of the
year.

marked attention to the speeches
that were made by their comrades

10000 Day.-NO Prizes.
FL Reno, Okla, Aug. 3.-After
the last of the 1900 names were
drawn from the wheel last night,
the great boxes containing the
154 900 names of unlucky appli'
cants were taken to the school
house. There the work of draw
ing was continued, but no record
other than numbering the envel-
opes and notifying the owner Of
name therein, is being made. 1t
is thought no less than 0,000
names a day will be drawn from
now on. The last numbers giving
a homestead to its owner were
drawn in the FL Reno by G. II
Holbrook of Portland, Mich, and
by Harvy,F. Mclaughlin of Ark
ansas City, Kan, in the Lawton
district. The closing scene was
tame and unmarked by any kind Of
demonstration. The streets today
are lined with prairie schooners,
laden with household goods and
all are headed south. The town
which last Monday accommodated
about 40, 900 visitors is nearly de-
serted today. Last nights and
this mornings trains have carried
away hundreds who remained for
the closing of the drawing. The
commissioners who will have
charge of selling townsites will
leave today or tomorrow for their
districts. The sales will begin on
Aug, 6.

THE PROPER THING TO DO.
Bennett Lauds the action Of Okmul-
gee Commercial Club.

Il think that this town should
send delegation to the Okmulgee
meeting" said L. s. Marshal Ben
nett yesterday. 1T is a proper
thing TO do and the movement
started by the commercial club OF
that town is in the right direction.
Some town or club had to make
the start and why not Okmulgee.
This is the first formal call and /
believe it should be honored. There
will certainly be no harm done to
the movement and it may start IN
the direction that will eventually
lead to a thorough organization OF
the territory for the purpose of
disseminating complete and ex-
tensive knowledge of conditions as
they exist here; of the territory's
resources, of its present advanced
position among the other states
and territories, and a general fund
of information that will be of in
estimable and incalculable benefit
to the territory.
If a delegation is sent to Ok
mulgee there should be no rivalry
exhibited other than emulation,
and | believe the movement will be
one of those spontaneous, unani-
nous affairs that are invariably
attended with success. | am hear
tily in favor of the plan. Times.
