COLD FACTS
PRESENTED
Miners of Wichita Mountains
Receive Encouragement.
EXPERTS GAVE EVIDENCE
Gold Assays $500 a Ton in
Ordinary Samples. :

Lawton, o. T., May Fittings are be-
ginning TO come in way satisfactory
to the miners of the Wichita mountains.
People of the effete east well as the
edly sceptical concerning the value or
ores in the mountains of the new country.
If presented with gold brick, they would
gather the impression that II was some
common substance electro-plated.
Yet this is not surprising when We re-
member how in the past two years some
of our more cheerful and unsophisticated
liars have told getting gold nuggets
weighing 1S5 pounds and that the Wichita
mountains were simply one solid mass of
material. g.
Recently there was mineral decision in
the Lawton land office which puts the
cold facts in forcible light. The hear
ing. was ordered by the general land Of
flee on account of a showing made by
the Wildman Milling and Mining COM
pany concerning the mineral value of
tract of land adjoining the town of Wild
man. The defendant had made proof
and sold to Ellen NJ. Briggs who defend
ed the suit.
The defendant wanted expert testimony
at the hearing, and wanted the best in
sight. The defense gathered tn samples
and had them assayed by Professors De
Barr and Tucker of the university of
Oklahoma at Norman 1t is not pre-
sumed that the defense sought samples
that would produce gold. The professors
had no interest in the matter and under
oath certainly stated cold facts as they
found them. The defense was somewhat
surprised when these experts found that
those samples assayed $500 per ton in
gold The mining company had put down
a number of shafts on this claim. The
office had to hold that the land was more
valuable for mineral than agricultural
purposes. This is the most important
victory that has come to the miners. If
the party that did not want to find any
gold. could not find any samples that
would assay less than $500 per ton there
must be some good stuff in that neck of
the woods.
