dent Sherman disapproved of the con
tracts, whereby an attorneys fee" of
three million dollars was to be allowed
in the sale of thirty million dollars
worth of Indian lands in Oklahoma
This assertion formed the substance
of the testimony given by Senator
Curtis today before a committee APP

tives to investigate what is known as
the McMurray contracts Senator Cur
tbs came here to testify following the
testimony given by Senator X. p. Gore
who declared lie had been informed
that Mr.. Sherman and Senator Curtis
each were interested in the con.
tracts, the approval of which by con-
gress and President Taft was sought
by McMurray. Senator Gore charged
that a New York syndicate stood ready
to purchase the land for 100000 900

ed for 10 per cent attorneys fees
whereas Indian treaties with the gov.
eminent provided for a disposal of
the land without any expense to the

though some impression has been
made during the past two months on
the ore stored in the bins, leaving at
the present time something like 500
tons. The present rate at which the
ore Is being shipped is three cars per
week and this can be kept up until
the roads are blocked with snow this
winter, which will probably not be be-
fore December.
The ore averages 40 per cent In cop.
per with good values In silver and
some gold and Is most desirable ore
for smelling purposes.
The force of men employed at the
present time Is twenty-four and with
this force Manager Fisher is keeping
the output practically up to the ca
pacity of the transportation facilities,
taking care OF the water, sinking
winze at the 400 foot level on the ore
body. and sacking the ore. In all re-
spects the work Is progressing In a
very satisfactory manner. When oper.
atoms were resumed this summer with
the opening OF the railroad there was
something like 200 tons OF ore ex.
posed In the mine, and notwithstand-
ing there has been 60 to 100 tons
shipped per week, the development has
been steadily pushed and the ore now
exposed is greater than when work
was resumed.

Among the properties which are be-

to be on the same vein and there Is
good reason for anticipating results
similar to those in the Hough when
the property is developed.
