RICH COLORED GIRL

Tulsa, 1. T., Aug 1.-The boun-
Diary lines which separate the lands
of the Creek, Cherokee and Usage
Indians converge to point to the
north central part of the new state
of Oklahoma. A few miles south
of this point, in the Greek Nation,
lives little Negro girl named Isa-
bella Lewis the daughter of a Ne
gro who was formerly a Creek
slave. This little girl owns so
acres of land, part of her allot-
ment, in the new "Glenn POOL oil
district which is giving her an in
come such as only millionaires can
have. There are three oil wells on
her land, each of which is produc-
ing 1000 barrels of oil per day,
and each of which is capable of
having its daily capacity doubled.
1t is the announced intention of
the company that has leased her
land to put down seven more wells.
If they each produce as much as
those already drilled, and there is
no reason to doubt it, her royalty
of one-eighth of the entire amount
produced at 80 cents per barrel the
present market price of oil, will
give her a daily income of $3.50, or
au annual income of S237,O00. At
5 per cent. that amount would be
the interest on a capital of nearly
S5,OOOO00.
Under the laws which Isabella
Lewis has granted to the operators
who have leased her land and
which was approved by the Secret
airy of the Interior, the oil which
is her daily share is turned into
the pipe line of the Standard Oil
company and the money it repre-
sents is at once placed to her cred
it.
Josephine Morrison, another lit
tie Negro girl II years of age, the
daughter of Creek freeman, has
an allotment of 16 acres in the oil
producing districts surrounded on
all sides by flowing wells. The
Morrison girl has her tract leased
on a royalty of one-eighth of all
oil produced. The lessees of this
tract intend to drill at least 20
wells as fast as the oil can he taken

pie.
The father of the Morrison, as
we'll as the father of the Lewis
girl, has been appointed guardian
of his daughter. Their guardian

there is game Reserve between

freight is landed at this point and
sent overland by native carriers,
who are compelled to pass through
the reserve and e.lions have killed
many of the carriers, women and
children. They even become so

Hearst and Mr.. Jerome is like choosing between
