DESERTED MINE
FOUND At .RAv|A
OLD MEXICAN SHAFT DISCOVER
ED BY OBSERVATION OF
MARKINGS-CLOSED 60 YEARS..

Ravia, Okla, Feb. 5.-While pros
pecting west of Ravia on January &c
r. G.. Guptill discovered an old Mexi
can mine which has not been worked
since the civil war.
Trees leading from the old kussett
and Norton crossing were blazed with
figures of pistols and bowie knives
pointing toward this mine. A large
stone bearing the date of 1850 was
found near the shaft. A few years
ago a Mexican spent many days ives,
of Ravia looking for this mine.
Natives adverse to mining rolled a
large stone into the mine and cut
the characters from the trees in the
vicinity of the mine, so as to hide
all traces leading to it.
There are no less than four OF
these mines around Ravia and the
younger generation having heard
their parents tell of them as the lost
mines. have been trying to locate
them.
All of these mines are said to con-
tain certain high values in gold sill
yer, platinum and lead. The fact
that over the entrance to the one just
discovered an elm tree twelve inches
in diameter has grown, concealing
almost it's location, proves it has not
been operated for upwards of sixty
years.
One of these mines is supposed to
be so close to Ravia that the Mexi-
can who was known to be searching
for it, was obliged to make his search
in the night time to keep down the
knowledge of his search.
This fact became known when sew.
eral persons saw him hiding in the
brush in the day time and going out
at night.
Mr.. Guptill obtained his knowledge
Of the mines from an old Indian. and
after many days of hard study of the
marking of the trees he has been able
to uncover one of these mines, and
the pieces of ore taken out so far
show up we'll.
1t will take considerable work TO
get to the main lead, as the shaft is
filed with rock and dirt from long
standing. This is the neighborhood
OF some of the richest veins that are
being worked.
Ravia is receiving much attention
at the present time on account Of her
mineral deposits,

JUSTICE FURMAN AO-
DRESSES STUDENTS
SAYS CRIMINAL COURT HAS OUT
LIVED ITS UsEFULNESs-CRlTI-
CIZEs A STATE STATUTE.

Norman, Okla, Feb. Judge II.
NJ. Furman. chief justice OF the Okla
homa criminal court OF appeals, in a
lecture delivered here Friday before
the students of the law school. de-
clared that the common law is relic
OF the past which has practically out
lived its usefulness, arraigned the
modern bench for taking the attitude
that all which comes before 1t Is
wrong until proved right, and attack
ed a certain section Of the Oklahoma
statutes as in conflict with the consti-
tuition Of the state and the federal
constitution as embodied in the opin-
ion handed down by former Chief
Justice John Marshall
The remarks made were the first
public utterances Of Judge Furman
for over "A year as he has been suffer
ing from vertigo and enlargement of
the veins and is in feeble health, his
vocal chords being badly affected.
Common law" declared the emf
mont jurist. lis only applicable where
il is consistent with reason and JUS
tice. II has served its purpose in its
time hut that time Is about gone. 1t
originated in The days OF witchcraft
and superstition and Is filed with an
tiquities and barbarisms. Today 1t is
only valuable as the basis of our mod
ern legislation"
Judge Furman bitterly denounced
the attitude assumed by many judges
OF the present day. He said: "Our
courts have come into contempt with
the people because the judges have
assumed that everything which comes
before them for adjudication is wrong
until II Is proved to be right. | take
the stand that everything should be
considered right before the court un'
tl II Is proved wrong"
He also took occasion to criticize
section 66i4 of the Oklahoma statutes,
which permits complaint to be
sworn out when complainant believes
party guilty, but shows no grounds.
He says that the statute Is in direct
violation OF the constitution of the
state and should be repealed as the
intention of the constitution is that
the opinion shall exist in the mind
OF the magistrate after hearing

grounds of complaint and not in the
mind OF the complainant.
The speaker also attacked the rule
of law admitting evidence with the
proyiso that IT can aiterward be
stricken out as hostile to justice and
contrary TO common sense. Continu-
in. he admonished the law students
not TO defend all cases brought before
them. saying that any lawyer who did
so perjured and demoralized his own
intellect and was not a man TO be
trusted by his fellow men. He said
that the fool and the coward have no
business in the profession and lauded
perseverance, declaring that he walk
ed seven miles to borrow his first
law book.

Washington, ID. Co Feb. 5.--Hearing
on the department measure proyid-

when deemed advisable in any OF
five civilized tribes; and which con
tans provision against leasing of re-
stricted Indian lands without APPROX

and the expenditure of Indian funds
for administrative purposes was held
before the house committee on In

Commissioner J. George Wright

favorably and introduced by Chair
man Burke of the Indian committee.
Provision for removal of tribal Of
ficers is said to be aimed at Gov

Chickasaw nation, whose connection
with the MoMurray contracts has
displeased Secretary Ballinger and
whose removal has been discussed.

STATE CAPITAL REMOVAL DECISION
To Be HANDED DOWN THURSDAY

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 5.-Official an
nouncement was made today that the
state supreme court will, next Thurs
day, hand down it's decision on the
legality of the removal of the state
capital from Guthrie to Oklahoma
City. The judges will go from Guthrie
where they are still living. to Okla
homa City to give the decision.
Following the action of the special
legislative session, called in Oklaho-
ma City on December by former
Governor Haskell in enacting CAPT
tai removal bill, the attorneys repre-
senting Guthrie challenged the legal
ity of the law in the state supreme
court, alleging the legislature was an
illegal body because the men compris-
ing il could not take office until after
January /; that the governor had no
authority to call the special session in
Oklahoma City after the supreme
court had designated Guthrie as the
legal seat of government; that the
legislature, even if legal, could not
change that provision of the enabling
act locating the temporary capital at
Guthrie until after 1913, but such

| lenses and for that reason reference
to the attorney general was stricken
from the resolution adopted by both
houses. There are pending before
senate committees bills by Senators
Thompson and Hatchett which pro-
hibit the employment of special at
torneys independently of the attorney
generals office or at any time with
out legislative consent.
There was no session of the leg,
islature today, as members of both
bodies went to Enid to attend
banquet given by the commercial
club by that town. Adjournment was
taken until Monday afternoon.
Before final adjournment of the
legislature there will be no more
gubernatorial appointments save in
cases where senatorial confirmation
is necessary, according to an au-
lucrative announcement today. Such
appointments are held up, however,
pending bills which affect the de-
partments Or place such appointee
is to fill. If the bill creating offices
of county tax assessor passes the
senate and the governor is given
the appointive power he will fill the
places, it is understood, as soon as
possible after the legislature ad-
journs.

change, even though the enabling act
be not binding, must be made by
vote of the people the same as con-
stitutional amendment and that the
capital removal bill is a special or To-
cal law and not advertised as such as
required by the constitution.
The Guthrie attorneys again declare
that the enabling act provisions are
binding and on this question, if nee
essary, they will appeal to the United
States supreme court. In November,
with only Justice Kane dissenting, the
supreme court held the enabling act
not binding.
Guthrie people are greatly divided
on how the court decision will go,
next Thursday, many believing the
removal to Oklahoma City expensive
and cumbersome, will not be counter
acted while others maintain the de-
cision coming while the legislature is
in session is in Oklahoma City's ia
vor. General opinion both here and
at Oklahoma City is that if Guthrie
wins the decision, the capital will then
remain here until after 1918 in ac-
cordance with the enabling act pro-
vision.
