STATE RICH IN GLASS SAND.
Geological Survey Finds Oklahoma
Has InexhaustibIe Deposits.

The Oklahoma Geological Survey
has just completed an exhaustive study
OF the glass sands of the state and
finds that Oklahoma is rich in de.
posits Of this material. Frank But.
tram, chemist of the survey has been
in charge of the work which has been
pursued continuously for several
months. His report has just been
sent to press.
d. w. Ohern, director of the survey,
said today that Mr. Buttram had studi-
ed in the field every deposit of glass
sand in the state and had made ac-
curate analyses in the laboratory. The
most valuable deposits found are at
Crusher and Rolf in the Arbuckle
mountain region and at Ardmore, Dur
wood, Madill, Durant, Atoka and Table
quah. The quantity of sand in these
localities Is practically inexhaustible.
The analyses show that the quality is
equal to and in most cases better than
that of the famous Missouri sands.
We are now securing from Missouri
the sand for our six glass plants. The
survey says we now supply these fac
tories with superior grade of Okla
homa and and save vast amount in
freight besides keeping the money
within the state The glass factories
are in the state because of cheap fuel
The survey says that the glass in
dustry will be of much greater value
to the state if the home raw material
is ursed and that every inducement
will be offered to have the plants
change their source Of supply

LITTLE DAMAGE
TO CROPS
Production in All Lines VIII Equal
Early observation-disclosures
Corn Yield.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 6.-That Okla
homa crops as a whole were injured
very little by the lack of moisture in
the past few weeks, and that the rains
which have fallen in the past week all
over the state, will make as near com.
plete the production in all lines as was
indicated early in the season, is indi-
dated in reports from all sections of
the state received by The Oklahoman.
Oklahoma yet is certain to produce
better crops than in any year for a
period of five years back.
Interest at the present time centers
in the corn crop. In many sections of
the state the rains came in time to
prevent any permanent damage and
the yield will be as great as forecasted
two months ago. In others the drouth
damaged it to a certain extent, but in
no section will the yield be reduced
more than 10 per cent. Oklahoma is
certain to produce the largest corn
crop of its history this year due to in
creased acreage and better condition
at this date.
In the southern, southeastern and
eastern portions of the state, the yield
will run from thirty to sixty bushels to
the acre, in the northern it will vary
from twenty to fifty and in western
Oklahoma the bottom land production
will average forty to sixty bushels
while the upland will be from fifteen
to thirty-five. But every section will
produce larger crop than in past
years.

BUFFALO JONES.

At the Belasco Theater tonight, Col
, Charles ]. Jones, popularity known as
Buffalo Jones', will deliver his unique
lecture entitled "Lassoing Wild Animals
In, Africa
He began his daring exploits in the
wilds of the Great West many years
ago. and as Game Warden of the Yel-
IoWstone Park, he showed unusual nerve
in Shis handling of the wild animals in
theNPark He used his lasso to catch
them,>foF punishment. He then decided
to go to Africa and see what he could
do with lasso, Cooly planning to rope
lions, rhinos, giraffes, etc. With a good
motion-picture camera and operator as
well as two expert American cowboys
and horses, Jones set out for Nairobi
Africa.
The roping of Afrlcas widest animals
by him and his party is perhaps one of
the most daring events in the history of
sport. How this was done Is clearly
sshown by the motion pictures which
were taken at close range and which
are said to be remarkably clear. Col.
Jones Is an excellent story teller and
T the pictures grow more real under his
characteristic description.
