the estimate he would guarantee that
the deficit would not go below $500.
Council will be asked, however, TO
grant the board the extra $4,000.

WITHOUT 4 SCORE

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 12.-The
Golden Rule team of Vinita and the
Seminole Indians of Seminole battled
for nine innings yesterday at Athletic
park without scoring a run. Darkness
ended the contest.
A total of eight hits were made
throughout the whole game and none

The Seminoles had an opportunity
to win in the ninth and lost it through
bonehead play by runner on third.
The runner was playing off before the
fly was caught and was put out before
he could return to the third sack. The
bases were full and the failure to
catch the fly would have meant at
least two scores for the Seminoles.
Two minor errors We're made by the
Golden Rule team and three by the
lSeminoles.
The Vinita team has been touring
Arkansas and Oklahoma and has
record of but sixteen defeats in hun
dred games. The other team has won
twenty-eight of forty games. Both
teams contend that the game yester-
day was one of the hardest contested
they had played this season. Most
of the tlayers have been on semi-pro-
fessional teams
The attendance yesterday afternoon
was not good because of other attrac-
tions and because few persons knew
of the playing ability of the contesting
teams. Three more games are sched-

large crowd is expected at Athletic

ZINC FOUND IN OKLAHOMA.
Discovery of the Mineral Causes Rush
For Land And May Develop
Important Industry.

Bartlesyille, Okla. Sept. 1.-THE
discovery of four-foot vein of zinc
near Ochelata, several miles south OF
Bartlesville, is causing considerable
excitement, and may pave the way foI
the opening up ON an important indus
try in this country. Samples of the
mineral found have been analyzed by
the state geologist and assayed ~
per cent zinc and 2 per cent lead. The
discovery was made on lands owned
by the Jacob brothers, who have a
lease of 200 acres. Several tests have
been made on the tract and the de-
posit found each time. In fact, the
mineral comes to surface in several
places and lies four feet beneath just
under a hard formation known as i'm
pure soapstone.
The owners have taken steps to or
ganize company to develop the mine
and prospectors have been endeavor-
ing to secure mineral leases in that
section since the discovery. Samples
of the rock are now on display in
Bartlesyille and are declared by men
familiar with zinc and lead mines to
be fine specimens.
