NEGRO GIRL GETS 5000 A DAY FROM
 HER OIL WELLS
Sarah Rector Has Already Received S60,O0O from
 Oklahoma Property.

Oilton. Gkla., Dcc 25.-The rising price Of oi! has boosted to $500 day | the income of Sarah Rector, 1S-year- old negro girl. who owns one of the most valuable oil land allotments in th" Oilton district and whose i'm menso profits in the past have at tracted wide attention. The fign: over tho job of being her guardian also has been renewed in the courts
 Her tract of land is operated by B. E Jones. millionaire oil man, who holds a lease negotiated by T. ]. Por ter, as the girls guardian. It's pro- 1 ductlon for October will be aDproxi mately 1600G0 barrels and Sarah ! Rector will get one eighth, or 10000 barrels. which she has contracted to sell for 90 barrel.
 A recent decision of Federal Judge Campbell at Muskogee that the pro- ducer must pay the royalty in cil, jt the owner so desires, has added 10 cents a barrel to the girls income Before that she had been getting roy atty on only 80 cents the marke: price when handled through an oper ator But now, owing to the great demand for oil, she sells it independ- ently at premium of 10 cents a barrel
 Good Revenue Producer.
 The Sarah Rector allotment has been good revenue produce- since it was first opened, about two years ago. The girl has received from her land in royalty approximately $60.000 in cash up to May of this year, and on that date her royalty oil that had accumulated during the previous four months was sold at the then market price of 40 cents barrel, netting her an additional $65,O0O.
 The land reached it's high tide in production during the spring cf this year. It was estimated to be mak- ing 10000 barrels day during April. For 60OO0O barrels for the month, Q. which the girls share was 75,O00 barrels, but her income was propor- tionateiy less than now because O: the low price.
 Money in Farm Lands.
 Much of Sarah RectOr's money has been invested in farm lands and Mus kogee city property, through her guardian. A short time ago suit to annul the lease held by B. B. Jones on her oil land was lnstltuLen py l.. c. Sweeney of the Commercial Ma tional bank of Muskogee, who alleged that it was made through an illegally appointed guardian. In the same pc. l tition he asked to have T. J. Porter removed as her guardian and himself appointed to act for her and her sis ter and brother, who also own valua- ble allotmcnts. The county court denied his petition. ,.
 Brings Another Suit.
 sweeney's attorneys then filed suit in the Muskogee county court tc re- cover $1,57o,O0O from B. B. Jones. at- leg!ng that his lease on the Sarah Rector property was void because made by an illegally appointed guardian. Of this sum 31 .25Q,00C was specified az the proceeds of the oil sold by Jones and $320,000 as the bonus the girl could have obtained had she been free from the Jones lease. The case has not been cecid . ed.
 The Sarah Rector allotment Is a fractional 8O-acre tract lying along the east bank of the Cimarron river. IL is very rough and hilly. and has no value for agricultural purposes.
