barrel Assuming this average price,
the total value of oil for the year was
about $G0,56O,14G. This amount is
greater than the value of the states
total mineral output for 1912, which
amounted to about $53,OOO,Oo0, and
will swell the total value of our min
eral values for 1913 enough to make
Oklahoma one of the leaders in miner
al production. The total value of gas,
coal, cement and other mineral prod
ucts will be at least as great as for
last year. and therefore the total val
ue of all our mineral products for the
present pear will approximate $780,

MAKE RECORD
OIL PRODUCTION
MORE THAN SIXTY MILLION BAR
RElS WILL BE OBTAINED DUR
ING 1918.

Norman, DEC. 17.-AccorHin to
figures in the office of the Oklahoma
geological survey here the production
of oil in Oklahoma during 1913 Will
far exceed that of any other year.
While the returns are not final, they
are regarded as sufficiently accurate
to give a close approximation for
the year. They are based largely on
the returns of pipe line companies
and consumption by reineries, sup
plemented by close estimates for the
present month. Writers for the sey-
eral oil and gas journals who are
always close to actual facts of pro-
duction. are in substantial with the
following figures for the year, by
months:
January 5,S46,196 bbls.; February,
4.SO2.5l3 bbls.; March 5,39S,SS5 bbls.;
April, 5.374,263 bbls.; May, 5,4lIO57
bbls; June 5,169,S17 bbls.; July, o.
24o,917 bbls.; August, 5,336,794 bbls.;;
September, 5,36S,619 bbls.; October
5.715.OOO bbls.; November, 5,473,2oo
bbls.; December 5,5OO,OO0 bbls.; max
ing a total of 63,S42,259 bbls.
The figures show that the output
for the year will exceed by 7772,62Z
barrels the previous record of 1911
which was 56,O69,637 barrels. Thus
the output exceeds by far the most
sanguine hopes of the operators al
the beginning of the year.
Value More Than $6o,ooo,ooo
Sufficient returns are not yet at
hand to give accurately the average
price of oil for the year, but it Will

This Miss Loeb has exemplified in her

Baltimore. Feb. S.-Another romance
in the family history Of the Richelieus
was begun to-day. when Miss Eleanor
Douglas Wise, OF this city. became the
bride of the present bearer of the Illus
trate title-Duke de Richelieu, Marie
Odet Jean Armand de Chapelle de Jumil-
hac, Duke de Richelieu ct de Fronzac.
Marquis de Jumilhac.
1t is true love match. The bride
does not belong to the American heiress
class and the duke Is not OF the needy
noblemen type. He is the son of the
Princess OF Monaco, the only American
born woman who ever shared a European
throne. She was Alice Heine, daughter
OF Michael Heine, a new Orleans banker
She married the Prince OF Monaco a
few years after the death OF her hus-
band. the late duke. but has since OBJ
taine da judicial separation. The bride is
the daughter of the late Commander
Frederick NJ. Wise. U. S. N
The marriage ceremony was performed
by Cardinal Gibbons at a low mass, the
nuptial mass not being sung during Lent
Outside the cathedral the curious were
banked solid, while inside the church
women WED for points OF vantage, stand
ing on the arms and backs of pews.
Pair is Separated.
AS the duke and his bride emerged
from the church the throng surged for
ward and in the confusion the newly mar
ried pair were separated. In a moment
the duchess was ten feet from her hus-
band and he had to battle his way to
her side, while three policemen fought
to clear passageway TO the curb. The
canopy was nearly torn down in the
crush.
As the preparations for the wedding
had been somewhat hurried. no relatives
or friends of the bridegroom from Paris
witnessed the ceremony. The duke was
attended by Erneste Bagni del Tita, of
Rome; Count NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Henry
Wise Miller. Josiah Mact, and John W.
Frick.
Owing to the Lenten season. no at
tempt at elaborate ceremony was made.
