scene of the great oil strike sever

Each train brings new recruits
to the throng. that now overcrowds
the town. aud ewarm through the
streets of the tent city. that has
arisen to accommodate the overflow.
The surrounding country is pract-
ically depopulated. every known
means of transportation being
used to reach the scene of the
strike.
Farms have been abandoned in
the mad rush. by men who have
been stampeded by the greatly
exaggerated stsries sent out from
here.
Samples Of the oil, examined
by experts, have been pronounced
to be Of good quality, but its ex-
istence in this section has long
been known. and the excitement
rests entirely with those who
came in the rush.
The majority Of those here are
without money TO invest, and have
come through mere curiosity or
looking for positions in the COM
panies, that are expected to be
formed. Conservative investors
are going carefully over the legal
status Of property rights in the
Creek Nation. before risking their
money.
A suggestive coincidence is the
presence Of several scores Of at

fees in the legal difficulties sure TO
arise. The unexpected gushe

Special Correspondence
Muskogee, /. r., June 27.-The
Times today prints the following
interview with General Porter, in
regard to the value of the new oil
discovery at Red Forks
The Times representative saw
General Porter this morning and
asked him about the oil excite
ment at Red Fork, and if he be-
lieved the leases are legal.
81 think il unfortunate that oil,
in apparent commercial quanti-
ties, has been found there, as ii
may, TO some extent, embarrass
the work OF appraising the allot-
ments. Ii may, in equity, re-
quire the services Of an expert to
now determine the value of the
allotments. The appralsement,
in part, may depend upon the de-
cision as to whether or not oil is a
part of the reality.
at is my opinion, that those
who live in the supposed oil field.
and who have taken their allot
ments and have received certif-
Gates therefor. that the treaty con-
firms their ailotments to them as
a part of their disiributiye share
of the common estate, and will
now be embarrassed only as TO the
matter of appraisement, but the
property will belong to them. 1t
may be held that the appraise-
ment should be made higher on
account Of the discovery of oil.
My opinion is, that the appraise-
ment should be moderate, as moth
ing positive is known as TO the ex-
tent Of the oil contained in the
land.
"Where persons have made ap-
pIications for filing since the dis
covery OF oil. and who had not
previously completed their filings
Tor allotment. and yesterday made
application for filing on these
lands in the oil region, which are
practically worthless for agricult-
ural purposes. and would never
have been selected for homes by
anybody, the filings will not be
accepted as filings for the purpose
Of making homes; and after oil in
apparent commercial quantities
has been found upon these stony
ridges, ii should be maintained by
the Creek nation that these Ian ds
are a part Of the residue, unallott-
ed. and whatever proceeds may be
derived thereirom should be used
as fund TO equalize the differ
ence in the value Of allotmPnts OF
J Greek citizens. This views ( the
case is consistent with the idea Of
distribution. The distribution Of

LIFE. E.SAVING RAFT
THAT CANNOT SINK
ADOPTED BY NAVY
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 27.-The navy de.
partment is providing several of the
warships with a new life-craft.
This consists of an elliptical copper
tube. somewhat flattened, with alright
compartments. strengthened by fins.
The tube is encased In cork, wound with
canvas and made absolutely watertight.
Attached to this float is rope netting
three feet deep, from which is sus-
pended wooden Slated bottom.
The netting is suspended on the inner
side of the float from rings which IT,: \ 1

the proper position, no matter which
side of the float falls upon the water
when it is thrown overheard.
1t does not require to be righted. ad-
justed or turned about; it Is ready for
service the moment 1t strikes the water.
Oars are attached to the sides of the
float to propel it when it is opened.
Enough persons can not get on this
craft to sink it, and unlike the lifeboat,
it cannot capsiZe nor founder, nor, like a
raft, go to pieces against the sides of a
ship.
The war department is considering the
advisability OF equipping the army
transports with the same sort of float.
