IN ARBUcKLE MINING FIELDS.

Davis, Okla, Aug 20.-Hiining men

liShed by the Oklahoma geological
survey showing good values in the
Arbuckle zinc field 1t was believed
by many that the survey was knock
ing" the field but this report has
removed all doubt on the subject 1t
now appears that renewed activity
will result and development along
scientific lines will progress rapidly.
Railroad surveying parties have
been at work in the new field, but
no one has been able to ascertain
which road they represent. Many ex.
press the opinion that the Frisco will
be extended from sulphur to Davis,
and westward, while Others believe
it is the Santa Fe that will tap the
mining camps with a branch from
here.
The promoters OF the Davis-Turner
Falls line are reported TO have finan
ced the road and that work on the
old grade will soon be commenced.
This line will, it is understood, miss
Turner Falls about a half mile and
