PONCA AGENCY NOTES.
New Building Will Be a Specially At
tractiVe One.

Ponca City. o. T.. July 4.-The school
building destroyed by fire last autumn
at OTTO will soon be rebuilt The govern
ment has appropriated the sum of $4,000
for the purpose, s26.5OO of which is TO be
devoted to the building proper, says the
Courier.
The general profile of the building is
very attractive and special attention will
be given to the quarters OF the superin-
tendent in charge and the employees I'M
der his management.
Indian Inspector Jenkins of Iowa. upon
a recent visit recommended the old site
as the most available. and Frank NJ.
Conser, special Indian agent in the field,
also holds that the old site is the best.
The Otto Indians take a great deal of
pride in their school and unusual i'm
provements on the interior work may
be looked for.
Marcus D. Feathers. farmer at the
Ponca Agency, has just returned from
a trip TO Old Mexico. where he was en-
gagged in looking after land interests.
His trip was unsuccessful and valuable
lands 10 which he held title have by the
slippery laws of Mexico been wrested
from him.

STRIKES 1T RICH.
Secretary Grimes Secures Some Valu-
able Zinc Land Leases.


Oklahoma City, 0. T. July 4-The
Times-Journal says: Secretary William
Grimes has struck It SO rich in the zinc
mines that the salary of secretary is a
mere bagatelle in comparison with the
income he is likely to receive from that
source.
= couple of years ago Mr. Grimes Sc
cured a lease on $40 acres of land in the
Quapaw reservation which was supposed
to be within the zinc belt. He began at
once to put down test holes. More than
100 have been sunk. The evidence thus
secured warranted him in putting money
into shafts Three shafts have been sunk
to the ore level, and the richness of the
strike is beyond all expectation. 1t is
believed 20 be equal TO the richest strikes
in the Joplin district. The test holes in
dictate that an immense body Of ore ex-
lists under the land leased. all Of which
is fully as rich as that struck in the
shafts.
Il is impossible 70 tell how much the
lease is worth, but conservative men ia
rniliar with the inc field put the value Of
strike considerably in excess OF mil
lion dollars
Mr.. Grimes recently sold an interest TO
ex-Delegate Flynn. the two being sole
owners. Some of the more enthusiastic
reports put the strike a. several million
dollars.
Mr.. Grimes friends win be pleased to
learn that he has no intention Of quitting
Oklahoma. but will continue 70 make the
territory his home Mr. Grimes has

pleased TO learn OF his good fortune

COVER THE
GIMARR0N
Both Parties Have Pushed
Their Survey
WILL WORK ALL SUMMER
Wells Are All Examined and
Records Kept
WILL WORK ALL SUMMER

Guyman, o. T.. July 4.-The party which
left Norman, o. T., June 5, for the pur-
pose of making preliminary geological
and photographed survey of the upper
valleys of the Cimarron and North and
South Canadian rivers has carried its
work as far west as Point Rocks on the
Cimarron in southwestern Kansas, and
Guyman, Beaver county, o. T., on the
North Canadian, or more properly, Bea-
yer creek. The work has been carried on
in two divisions, one division going up
Beaver creek, the other UP the Cimarron
river. Each tributary of these streams
with the exception of Crooked creek,
has been carefully studied in regard to
its supply and quality of water and the
geological structure along its course.
Most of the streams have been already
utilized but nothing has been done with
the overflow.
The wells of the region have been
carefully examined and records taken Of
at least fifty. They vary greatly The
supply of water is apparently inexhausti-
BILE in all the wells above the red-bed
clays and shales of central and western
Oklahoma. 1t is not improbable that the
supply Of water for irrigating NOSE of
the western uplands must be pumped
from the wells. There seems to be an
everlasting supply of wind and water
with thousands of acres of land so level
that it would need but little preparation
to put it under ditch.
Twelve samples Of water have been
secured far analysis by the government
chemists at Norman. DR.. Barr, pro-
fessor of chemistry in the university of
Oklahoma. has charge of this work. He
is assisted by Mr. E. E. Gridley. Most
Of the water has been taken from creeks.
Some of it, however. has been secured
from deep wells and springs.
The only indications OF artesian water
which have been found up to date are
in the neighborhood of Richfield, Kan.
1t is more than likely that good flows
could be struck in almost every river
valley in southwestern ansas. The depth
is somewhere near 600 feet, but the quail
ity IS poor.
The party consists of Prof. Chas. n.
Gould and his assistants. Prince Lar
kin, Chas. A. Long, c. A. Reeds and G..
IT. Kirk. They will push their work to
the head waters of the two rivers they
are at work on at present and will come
back down the South Canadian. 1t is ex-
pected that 1t will take the entire sum-
mer to complete the survey.

SCHOOL BEGINS NEXT FALL.
Military Academy Will Start in at
Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, o. T., July 4.-The
Times-Journal says: Colonel Dunn, who
will be the instructor in the Oklahoma
Military academy. which is to bbe located
in this city, has finished his plans in Chi
cago relative to the school and will re-
turn to Oklahoma City this week. Colonel
Dunn has had a lifelong experience with

his statement the school in this city will

The plans for the structure have been
finished bby Hawk and Van Meter and
bids have been asked for. 1t is expected
that the contract for the construction of
the building will beb let July g. 1t is the
intention TO begin work in order to have
the building finished by the latter part
of August. The structure for this season
will be frame and only temporary, as it
is the intention to erect a brick building

Quite a number of inquiries are being
received from all over the country in re-
gard to the opening of the school and
