BILLIONS oE TONS OF IT

Sayre. 0. T., July 5.-The Oklahoma
geological survey party spent last week
along the line Of Gypsum hills between
The Glass mountains in southern woods
county and thes alt plain in northwest
eTn Woodward. This is one Of the rough
est and most picturesque parts Of Okla
homa. Deep and narrow canyons and
redbs nks, springs and creeks Of gyp
water, high. fat topped bates and Inesas
occupy the entire region. The amount Of
gypsum in these hills is immense. mex
haustable is the only term 10 use. The
areab etween the Glass mountains and
the salt plain covered until gypsum is
fifty miles long and more than ten miles

bsen removed by erasiYe, beauty an area
of go square miles in which the gypsum
averages at, least forty feet track This
means that in this part of the gypsum
hills alone there are approximately 20,ogo'-
10000 tons Of gypsum in sight prac-
tically all Of when is available for econ

haps not third Of the gypsum in the
territory. There is more or less of II in

one queer fact was noticed by the party
IS in regard to the elevation of the var
ious streams in western Oklahoma. It
is woil known fact that the valley OF
the North Canadian is higher than the
valley of the Cimarron. For instance. the
altitude OF Guthrie is given as 932 feet
and Oklahoma City as 200 feet above
sea level. making a difference OF 26S feet.
yvatonea is at least $50 feet higher than
Kingisher. Measurements taken last
week by the party indicate that Wood
ward on the North Canadian Is $50 feet
or more higher than the salt plain on
the Cimarron-
The amount of water at the salt Plain
flowing from salt Springs was estimated
u be about forty barrels per minute. At
the present time al ts.r is allowed to go
