United States has been discovered in
the .Arbuckle Mountains by Professor
Charles ~ Gould, head of the depart

Oklahoma, and party of twenty
students, who accompanied him to
that section in search OF new and
curious geological formations
The sand contains 9S.5 per cent
silicon, With no traces OF iron what
ever which makes 1t almost perfect.
Professor Gould has been searching
for this sand for many years. and up
TO this time has met With no success.
The sand ledge IS between sixty and
100 yards thick and may extend over
an indefnlte area.
Along with the other numerous in

sand is found in the simson sand
