CHEMIST SEARCHING
FOR VOLCANIC ASH
Scientist Max ing Extensive iuuui,,
III Indcavor to Locate De-

Norman. Ok. Oct. H. Frank
Hu'tfaAt chemist Of the Oklahoma
Geological Survey, is making an
extensive field inquiry in Western
Oklahoma to locate possible de-
posts of volcanic ash otherwise
known g. silica or gypsum
1t is his purpose 10 find these
deposits, determine the quality and
accessibility of the beds and pub
}ish i bulletin giving The results of
his analyses, and in that way hast

this industry.
Volcanic ash is a light, porous.
fine grained, silicious rock. and in
appearance closely resembles chalk
Of ssl#ain. Il may appear as a
white powder, but usually is in
rock form
II varies greatly in color. buNthe
pure grades arc almost snow white.
Volcanic ash is the principal con
stituent in all the better grades of
cleaning and polishing powders, and
is used extensively rs pack
ing for filters
Government reports SHOW the
pure grades are worth from 81

be opened close to railroads would
have a great value --
This volcanic ash is reported in
a nun Der of localities in Custer
county. One Of the largest lies
several miles north of the Gown of
kingfisher, in kingfisAer county
and never has been opened up for
commercial PURPOSES
wheat field lies above the de-
post, which is from six to ten feet
below the surface
This deposit was discovered fiji

THE FORT MINIS MASSACRE
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

red men, and with odds of more than
three to one in their favor, they had
every advantage from the beginning.
The buildings within the stOckade
were fired by burning arrows, and in
the midst Of the confla grafton the gates
were entered by an irresistible charge
And then followed the hand-to-hand
struggle which soon ended in the mas
sacre.
The number of the slain was never
accurately known, but with the excep-
ton of u soldiers, not a white or half
breed man, woman or child escaped
The killed certainly numbered over 500.
In the meantime the savageS had lost
heavily, more than 400 Of their war
riors having fallen with many more
wounded Every white man had killed
his indian, with quite a margin to
spare, and Fort Minis must forever
stand along with the Alamo as one of
the most remarkable instances Of
courage on record
The massacre sent wave of indig-
nation and horror over the country,
had called up the Nemesis which was
TO pursue them TO their doom
Andrew Jackson, upon hearing of the
massacre, rose up from his sick-bed
and swore by tire Eternal that the
score should be eVened up. And he
was as good as his word.
Gathering an army of regulars and
militia he met the Creeks six months
later at TOhOpeka, or the Horseshoe,
On the TalapoOsa river, and annihilat9d
them The Fort Minis massacre was
avenged. The whole Creek nation was
wiped out of existence

-HE Fort Minis massacre, the
most appalling instance of
4 savage fury in The history Of
our country, took place 90 years ago,
August 30. 1913.
Fort Minis was located on Lake Ten
saw. Alabama, near the confluence Of
the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers
The stockade enclosed about an acre
of ground. and upon the day Of the
massacre there were herde6 within the
enclosure some SIX hundred human be-
ings one hundred and seventy sol
diers, the remaining being settlers with
their wives and children and aged
fathers and mothers.
In the morning or the Goth OF August
the soldiers were lOunging in their
tents the cooks were getting ready
for the midday meal, and more than
hundred little children Wehe playing
about, when without moments warn
ing, a thousand WhoOping, screechinS
Creek indians burst in upon them
The men had scarcely time to seize
their arms before The savage horde was
upon them But, complete as was the
surprise, the white men lost neither
presence Of mind nor courage With
wonderful self-possessiOn they fought
like demons. 1t was a matter OF life
or death, and for three hours some
500 white men held at hay more than
three times their number OF sa wages.
But with such heavy odds against
them it was settled from the start that
the whites were to bite the dust The
Creeks were, next to the Iriquois, the
best fighters to be found among the
