GOULD ON BAtN'E REPORT.
Asserts That the Geological Survey
Was impartial

Norman. @. T. Feb. ia few days
ago advance information concerning Mr.
Rains report on the Wichitas was pub
lishod in the daily papers. This report
stated that of The Il specimens Of ore
examined not even one showed trace Of
gold. Long and loud have the miners
of the Wichitas proclaimed there was
gold in the mountains. Mr.. Gould. geo
loEist OF the Oklahoma university. and
also doing special United States geolo-
ciCal work. in company with Mr. Taft.
United States geological surveyor. made
a survey of these mountains about three
years aso. These gentlemen were unable
to find amy pineral veins of gold ore.
The people of the Wichitas hurled all
manner of malicious stories at these two
gentlemen after they had reported the
facts as they were found. Each of these
ecolosists has had at least ten years Of
experience in geology field work.
Not satisfied with the report Of Mr..
Tart and Prof. Gould a special geologist
from the United States department was
sought Mi Balm was sent complying
with their request.
Mr Balm made a personal examination
az Jhe Wicbitas.
Concerning Mr Rain's report and the
topic. sold in the Wiohitas Prof. Could.
when interviewed. said. '.Alr. Balm was
sent to examine the Wichitas at a special
request from the people. Mr Bain made
selections Of mineral from the places the
miners directed, He gathered his spaci-
mems exactly where the miners wanted
him 20 get them These specimens were
boxed and sent to Washington where they
were examined by chemist in the gov

ernment employ. The result we well
know no gold was found.
The miners ought to know that Mr..
Bain's report WAS as impartial as any re-
port could be. In the first place no geo.
logist in the government employ is al
lowed to be interested in mineral land
directly or indirectly, or United States
geologist is not even allowed to have a
private museum. Mr.. Balm could have
no motive in coloring his report, none
whatever. He selected many of the min
erals at the bidding of miners and sent
them To Washington, and after numbering
the specimens turned them over to a
government chemist for analysis. The
chemist examined the specimens by num-
Der, not knowing or caring where they
came from. and submitted his report.
Mr.. Balm had nothing 20 do with the
analysis. He then compared the analyz-
ed numbers with his field note book and
found the analysis Of the minerals in
their respective localities. Nothing could
be more fair or impartial Mr.. Balm is a
geolOgist of good reputS and has served
on various state surveys, noteably the
Iowa geological survey and is we'll ex-
perienced in field work
Personally 1 have never said there is
no gold in the Wichitas On the other
hand / have always been of the opinion
that small amount OF it does exist
there. Gold in small quantities has been
mined in North Carolina for many years
and made to pay moderately and the
geological structure of the Wichitas is
like that of the Appalachians in North
Carolina but not like that of the Rockies
and the ore in the Wichitas might be
mined at a profit if all the material as
fiuzes. fuel and so forth could be obtained
at a minimum price My contention. how
ever, has always been that il has never
been demonstrated that mineral exists In
paying quantities in these mountains. II
there is it is time that some Of It was
put on the market l have never said
that gold could not exist in any large
amount

GIRLHOOD'S
A Simple and Certain Method by Which
ChIOrosis, a Frequent Affliction
Of Growing Girls, May
Be Overcome.

Every mother knows that the danger
line in the development of a girl is
crossed at the point where girlhood and
womanhood meet Ills that lurk in the
blood then disclose themselves and. if
neglected, become seated diseases disturb
ing all the later life and frequently lead
to consumption and the most frightfui
arrangement of the nervous system. This
critical point cannot be too closely
guarded. Care insures robust health ;
neglect means living misery.
Mothers of growing girls can profit by
the experience of Mrs. f. G. Young, of
No. 300 Lynn street, Ithaca, y. Y, who
was safely brought through her girlhood s
critical period by a simple course of treat
ment after physicians had failed to help
her.
when i was seventeen. she says, 81
began 10 fail in health and. in spite of all
the medicines our family doctor gave me,
l continued TO grow worse. Neither he
nor another doctor who also attended me,
my trouble. 1t was chlorosis, they said, a
form of anaemia with which girls of about
that age are often afflicted. | was troubled
with shortness of breath, hadn't bit Of
color and couldn't go upstairs without
being all tired out. My limbs were dread
fully swollen and my appetite entirely
gone. / had nervous headaches for which
a doctor recommended glasses, but the
glasses did not cure them. Each month
1 suffered a great deal of pain aand was
very irritable
This condition kept growing worse
for three years until finally it became
intolerable and began to hunt eagerly
for some remedy that could effect GER
tain cure. Finally I found a friend who
said she had been cured of similar
trouble by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. after her case had been
pronounced hopeless. Upon her strong
recommendation I decided to take this
remedy. Relief was almost immediate and
after using the pills for short time 1
was cured altogether and have remained
perfectly well and strong ever since
The value of such a remedy is beyond
the power of words to express for it de-
termines the happiness of a lifetime and
it is fortunately within the reach of all
who need it. These pills have also cured
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis. st.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, after-effects of
the grip palpitation Of the heart, pale
and sallow complications and all forms
Of weakness in either male Or female.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by all druggists, or will be sent
direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady, N Y. postpaid on receipt of
price fifty cents per box; six boxes for
two dollars and a half.

Richest in World
TAXATION IS UNEQUAL

Washington Feb. 19.-The final hearings
on statehood were held today by the
house committee on territories. Delegate
Mcclure, of Oklahoma, occupied the day
before the committee on an argument
showing why Oklahoma should be ad-
mitted as a state.
1t would be unfair. he maintained. to
couple his territory with the Indian terri
tory on account of the unequal taxation
caused by the unsettled state of Indian
lands.
Mr.. Mcclure called attention to the
Usage Indians as the richest people in the
world. This tribe consists of about 100
persons. Each person owns 600 acres of
valuable land and an equal interest in a
fund of sS,5oO0O0 on which the govern
ment pays per cent annually, giving
each an income of sl,7oo year.
