STRUCK LEAD
AT 20 feet 9 miles Southeast Of
Vinita.

While drilling a well on his place 8
miles S. E. of Vinita, near Okoee, Ok.
g. v. Carselowey struck a vein Of lead
which he thinks will prove valuable
find. The lead was only 20 feet from
the surface, and should itproye to be
plentiful it will mean a big thing to
the mining interest Of this country, as
well as a fortune to Mr., Carselowey.
This place is only short distance
from where S. S. Cobb and others sunk
several shafts in search Of lead and in
which they found several good speei-
mems Only a short time ago stock
company was formed to drill in earn
est for this lead, but just what has
become Of the company no one knows.
SO many good specimens are being
found in that vicinity that it seems
like it would pay to investigate it.
