A PLATINUM
MINE FOUND
TESTS SHOW 1T TO BE WORTH
FROM $50 TO 1915 A ToN-W. j..
ERLER is THE OWNER.

William j. Erler of Terre Haute,
Ind. who has been in southern Okla
hOma for several months is of the
opinion that he has found "A very val
liable mine of platinum between Ma
dill and Randolph Junction. He dis
covered valuable bed of glass sand
while he was searching for gravel
beds along the Frisco line of road
and took leases on the land. Some
of it lies in Marshall county and some
in Johnston county. One lease is for
thirty years and the other is for ten
years with "A privilege of renewal. He
at once went to the glass factories In
Kansas, after recording his leases,
and made arrangements to ship the
sand to the factories. None of it will
be shipped this season as the facto-
ries had contracted for all the sand
they require until the first of June and
on this date the factories will close
until the cooler months come. During
the fall months he vii! make ship
ments Of eand.
When the sale of the sand had been
arranged Mr.. Erler set to work to
have the deposits analyzed. Tests
were made for silver and for gold
and for platinum. There We're only
traces of gold and silver but in plat
mum there is a strata that proves
very valuable. The platinum strata
is beneath the glass sand deposit.
Where it appears at the side of the
mountain the strata is four feet thick
and several hundred feet wide, but
how far it extends into the mountain
or whether it grows more shallow or
deeper is not determined and Mr..
Erler will not place IA mill in the field
until the amount of the deposit is de-
termined. Mr.. Erler is at rhe mine
today with some hands removing sam
pies to be taken to Philadelphia. The

by a series of tests taken with the
run at the mines and the value shows
each ton to be worth from $50 down
to $S.75. The next thing that must
be determined is the cost of concen'
trating each ton. Philadelphia parties
who had but a small quantity with
which to make a test said they esti-
mated the cost of concentration to
be 75c ton. More of the material
will be sent them from the mines to-
day with which to make a more thor
ough test If the strata is of suffici-
ent depth to justify the expense a
concentrating mill will be installed
this summer and Mr.. Erler will begin
at once the operation of a platinum
mine which will be the first one to be
operated in Oklahoma.

to persuade General Madero to make
a general attack, it is said, reported
that the iederals had fired on the

confirmed.
At 9:15 O'Clock an automobile
bearing flag of truce started from
the Madero camp headed for Jaurez,
General Navarro was willing during
the day at any hour to grant an arm

all efforts in that direction.
Colonel Steever, in command of

an American flag. Colonel Steever

FUGITIVE SURRENDERS.

Muskogee, Okla, May S.-Leonard
Mccullough, who, with Bob and Anon
Davis, is charged with the murder of
Deputy Sheriff jim Work, at Porum,
last Friday, voluntarily surrendered
to Sheriff Wisener today.
A note was also received by the
Sheriff that Bob and Anon Davis
would surrender this week.
Mccullough denies that he took
part in the killing. He asserts that
Bob Davis was badly wounded in the
fight.
The surrender of Mccullough and
his statement indicates that Bob and
Anon Davis have never been far
from where the shooting took place
but so far no officer or posse has been
able to locate them.
Pony Star, a relative and close
friend of Bob Davis, left here today
with a message from the sheriff to
the Davis brothers and through him
negotiations for their surrender will
be conducted.
One of the reasons for the surren.
der of the Davis brothers is the fact
that not to do so would cause the for.
feiting of bonds Gmounting to nearly
$4,000 and would wipe out all their
property

When Supt Chas. Evans, Governor

other notable men of the state were
receiving the thirty-second degree IN
Masonry recently at McAlester, there
was in the class an exceptionally
bright fellow who was elected orator

er. He won the admiration of Prof

President Comments on Manifesto.

President Comments on Manifesto.
The president told callers today he
believed Diaz's promise would be
accepted in good faith BY the Mex
lean people, he thought, would be
taken as the surest indication that
Diaz would keep his word. And, since
this was the one thing upon which
the revolutionists I've been most
insistent, 1t was believed that Madero
would not continue fighting.
The presidents attitude as to in
terventiOn is just what it was after
the troops were sent to Texas. With.
ont action of congress there can be
no intervention.
Though the state department re.
ceived practically no advices today
or tonight, the war department is
keeping in close touch with FL Paso
through the army officers. However,
nothing can be added to the instruc-
tions which were given when it
became known that another battle
was imminent. The only orders were
that Americans were to be kept as
far as possible away from the firing
line.

EI Paso, Texas, May 9.-The gen.
eraI attack of the insurrectos on Jau-
rez began at 4:3o this morning. The
engagements between the forces OF
Madero and Navarro are raeins to-
day under boiling sun with no pros
poets of cessation or deciSCf out
come today.
The entire rebel army broke camp
at daylight and began swarming into
Jaurez.
Madero admitted today that he
had given his consent to a general
attack. Jaurez is surrounded. The bull
lets poured into Ell Paso from the
time the attack began. American
troops kept the sishtseers three
blocks away from the river front.
American privates from the insur-
recto army reaching here today, said
that fifteen Americans had already
been killed and wounded.
It is estimated that the rebel loss
is $50 men killed and wounded. The
federal loss is twice that amount
with the battle still raging.
At 1910 this afternoon, the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent returned
from the interior of Jaurez report
ina that the rebels were gradually
gaining possession Of the town. DR..
Gomez, who is in charge of Madero's
field headquarters, announced short
Iy after noon that the rebels would
take the city within three hours.

FL Paso, May S.--lnsubordination-in
the ranks Of General Maderos army
and a lust for the fight of viii n
federal concessions apparently had
deprived them, caused fierce attack
on Jaurez, which eliminated tonight
in careful retreat of the insur-
rectos after a day of continuous Skin
mishing.
The $50 rebels who early today
opened fire on the federals, not only
captured some of the important ont
posts, but carried the fighting into
Jaurez. Failing to get reinforcements,
they retired.
The casualties of the insurrectos
and federals are not known tonight,
but five persons on the American
side of the line were killed and at
least twelve wounded Thousands Of
persons in FL Paso dotted roof tops
or lined the river banks in direct
line OF the fire. Colonel Steever of
the Fourth United States cavalry
protested to both armies against
the fire into American territory and
it lessened considerably thereafter.
Nearly 1000 American troops were
massed on the border, keeping
crowds back and ready to respond to
any orders from Washington. To-
night couriers are galloping back
and forth in an effor. to arrange an
armistice so that peace negotiations
may go on.

remarks attributed to Colonel Tam
bourel of the federal garrison IN
Jaurez, tannting the insurrectos, in
censed them, and in statement to-
night he genuinely regrets the occur
renee. The fight lasted until dark
and furnished many a thrilling spec
tacle as well as continuous terror
for many Americans living along the
river banks.
About a dozen insurrectos We're
seen to emerge from the barren hills
around Jaurez early in the day They
skulked along through the shrubbery
toward the federal outposts, firing
repeatedly at squad of federals
cooped up in an adobe house.
The version of the affair given at
the Madero headquarters tonight is
that the federals began the engage
ment.
At any rate the federals soon left
their adobe stronghold and fled, pur-
sued by the insurrectos. At the head
of the insurrecto band was a Cana
dian, w. H. Mckenzie, whose pink
shirt was plainly visible as he press
ed close to Jaurez.
At the first few shots two feder'
ais toppled over Soon the federals
abandoned their trenches and the
rebels fired intermittently for a few
hours without advancing. At last,
about ) o'clock in the afternoon, the
federals brought their artillery into
action and heavy cannonading be-
gan.
