Oklahoma is an exception to the rule
We have, as above stated, lands un-
equalled anywhere FOR productive
ness and at the same time teeming
with mineral wealth. We have lands
that will grow anything that car
be grown anywhere and grow 1t
it abundance at that; land that
awaits the developing hand of the
practical farmer to prove verit-
able cornucopia of productive wealth
to the one who will till is surface,
while the stratas underlying are just
as wealth producing with the for
nations OF time.
Frank Buttram. state chemist con-
nected with the geological survey,
who made a trip of research and in
vestigation through this section dur
ing the week Just passed, reports
that just north of Overlook over
the line in this county he discovered
glass sand of the very highest
grade. Mr.. Buttram says that there
is enough sand in this field to run
all the glass manufacturers in Ok
lahoma for all time to come And
Just pause long enough to look az
this for few moments. Here is
an exhaustless quantity of the very
best glass sand to be found any
where and our glass factories in 9TH
er sections of the state are shipping
in sand from which to make the fin
ished material, from away up in Mis-
souri,. The Klondike-Pacific Sand
Company of st. Lopis ship hundreds
Of cars OF sand to the glass facto-
ries of Oklahoma every year while
right at our doors we have the sand
in unlimited quantity that is su-
per.or in every way.
There is one bluff of over twenty
five feet of pure sand at Overbrook
that Mr.. Buttram says is much be-
ter and of a far higher grade than
any he has seen shipped in from the
famous Missouri sand bluffs. There
is another bluff or ledge with a sew
enteen foot face at Provence. that
Is OF equally as high a grade. And
there are three large glass manu-
featuring concerns in the stale of
oklahoma that are shipping their
sand from away up in the Missouri
sand fields just because they never
knew that there was glass sand in
their own state.
Tulsa, Okmulgee and Avant, all
have large glass works-the one
at Tulsa probably being the largest.
