UNDERGROUND RIVER
IN ARBUCKLE RANGE
MINERS DRILL FINDS WATER,
GRAVEL, SAND AND BLIND
FROGS AT DEPTH OF 81 FEET.

Davis, Ok, Oct. l7.-GeoloSists will
probably be forced to change their
opinion of the Arbuckle mountain re-
gion when they Iearn that Scott Brad
en- of Oklahoma City, has discovered
an underground river at depth OF
81 feet from the surface in the heart
of the rugged mountains, ten miles
southwest of Davis. This subterran-
can river has also produced a phen-
omenon which may cause scientists to
investigate.
While drilling for water at the Scott
Eraden and Co., mining camp last
Saturday the drill, at 81 feet dropl ed
into space and Immediately water
filled with large gravel and flour-like
sand, shot out. A number of small
frogs without eyes came out and We're
caught in buckets. Efforts We're made
by Col. S. w. Wood, the mine man.
ager and several others, to keep the
frogs alive, but in vain. The sunlight
and air was too much for them.
Speaking of the we'll and it's prob
able value to science, Mr.. Braden
said:
I'VE had no idea of encountering
such an immense flow of water We
drilled hoping to secure enough for
the miners for camp use, but enough
has been found to run our 250 ton
zinc mill. which will now be installed.
1T appears this underground river
flows through faults or openings
underneath. The sand and gravel is
identical with that found in the big
spring three miles from there at the
head OF Honey Creek, above Turner
Falls. Just what connection this may
have with those springs, cannot
say, but Col. Wood, our mining en-
gneer, who is also a geologist of some
note, thinks the drill penetrated the
stream which gushes out above Tur-
ner Falls.
The report which first eminated
from our camp to the effect that blind
fish had been thrown up was erron-
eous, although the blind frogs were
there in large numbers. The zinc
vein encountered at As feet was only
four feet thick, but drill cuttings show
il TO be almost pure blend. or rosin
jack, as they call It, in the Joplin
field. We knew the surface indicated
mineral but it proves to be even more
valuable than We had ever hoped it
would be at that depth"

HAS STATE TOO
MANY SCHOOLS?
HAS OKLAHOMA OVERCOME IT.
SELF IN ESTABLISHMENT OF
ITS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?
EXCEEDS ANY Of IT'S SIZE
Governor Cruce Believes Four Norm.
ais, Two Preparatory Schools and
District Agricultural College Should
be Abolished.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Oct. 16.-Gov-
ernor Lee Cruce believes that Okla
homa made a great mistake when, Ia
attempting to provide literally for
higher education it overdid the thing
and not only weakened it's educational
system but imposed an excessive bur
den on the taxpayers. He said today:
Il should like to see chance in Ok
lahoma's system of higher education.
We ioOlshly established six normal
schools, two university preparatory
schools and six district agricultural
schools. No other state in the union
with a population us small as that
of Oklahoma has half so many educa-
tional institutions that are supposed
10 be doing higher educational work.
The people are groan.ng now under
taxation that is becoming larger year
by year, and with no hope of relief
unless the people take ho'd and settle
these matters in the right way.
Should Abolish Some.
"Certainly four of the normals, both
of the preparatory schools and some
il nol all of the district agricultural
schools, should be abolished. This
would save the people, to say nothing
of appropriations for buildings, not less
than $4,000 year that is being ap-
lropriated to maintain them | have
10 hope that this legislation could
ever be passed in the legislature be-
cause, whether purposely done or 9th
erwise, these and our other institu-
tions are so scattered as to enable a
majority in both branches OF the leg
islature from among those representa-
tives who come from the counties and
districts in which one or more of
these institutions are located.
"Ths is one case in which the peo-
pie could very profltaDly 10 them
selves and to the educational interests
of the state invoke the initiative, and
| for one would like to see that move
ment started We could then build
q great univ ersity, two good normal
schools and good agricultural col
lege. But we are now sapping the
very life blood out OF these institutions
and making impossible the mainten-
ance of any pre- eminently great edu-
cational system.
More for Primary Schools.
What | am saying may not be pop
ular, but some man in the state ought
10 give voice to the situation. There
is not one man in dozen who will
not say in heart to heart talk-not
to be quoted-that this ouGh; to be
done.
While | favor retrenchment for
fewer and higher educational institu-
tons. believe larger expenditures
ehould be made for primary education
in Oklahoma. | believe in consolidat-
ed rural district schools, where at all
practicable, and think that a wider
diffusion of graded education would
ploduce better citizenship"

Ladies' e: The Leaf.

With Mrs. John Whiteman the
Ladies of the Leaf held most in
teresting meeting yesterday: begin
ming the study of the Shakespearean
play, Hamlet.
Roll call was answered by cur
rent dramatic notes.
Mrs. Minnie Wall began the pro.
sram with beautiful piano number.
Mrs. l.. C. Shelton was leader and
came TO the lesson so thoroughly pre-.
pared that no part of it suffered from
lack OF interest Mrs. Shelton, as the
first leader of the year. has set a
precedent that will not be easy to
follow and if all the lessons on
Hamlet prove as interesting and
helpful rs the first. it will be play
long remembered in club annals.
Mrs. P. II. Woods gave a prelimi-
nary survey of the play rs a tragedy
of failure in which some helpful
criticisms were read from famous
Shakespeare students.
Mrs Shelton gave a sketch OF
the court of Elsinore which added
much to the conception of the stage
setting Of the drama.
Mrs Dings read a splendid paper
on the ghost in the Shakespearean
drama, in which the mission of the
Shost in number of plays were
named.
Mrs. Easley was too ill to be pres
ent, but sent her paper on Richard
Burbage, which was thoroughly en-
ioyef and was one Of the best num-
bers OF the program.
Mrs. Shelton led the questions
which were discussed by all the
ladies with interest and brought ouS
a diversity of opinion.
At the business session it was de-
cided TO ask Mrs. Jones, librarian, to
give out the Ladies of the Leaf books
