RICHES FOR THE RED MAN.
Annual Incomes of the Two Thousand
Usage Indians.

The Usage Indians are the richest
people in the world, and soon they
are going to be richer, writes Thomas
F. Logan, in Leslie's. Their wealth
is registered at $4,000 per capita
at the Indian office. Secretary Lane,
of the interior department, recently
gave his approval to new leases run
ming for five years, whereby the Usage
Indians rent their valuable oil lands
in Oklahoma to some of the big oil
companies. This will increase the
average annual income of the two
thousand Usage Indians from $500
to 900 per annum. The leases will
cover about 6SO,000 acres. 1t is es-
timated that the annual income of the
Usage tribe under the new leases will
aggregate at least s2,500,O00, in ad-
dition to the s3,233,0O0 received in
cash at recent sales, as against about
$50O,000 heretofore received annual
ly under the old leases, which ex-
pired last March.
