In Johnston county are many acres
Of splendid granite passed on by archi-
tccts and engineers and claSsed as
equal to Texas granite. That this is a
good building material is emphasized
by the fact that some OF it was used in
the construction Of the state capitol In

Important discoveries Of manganese

Delaware and Cherokee counties.
Brick and Tile.
In the vicinity of, practically every
city and town OF eastern Oklahoma
there is in operation at this time brick
and clay working plants, and suffi-
cient experimental work has been done
TO demonstrate the fact that in the il.
ture It will be practical to operate i'm
mensc tile and brick plants entirely on
the local beds of clay and shale East

and its deposits OF brick clay have been
properly developed.
Timber, Water Power.
In the southeastern part OF the state,
in McCurtain, Choctaw, Pushma,aha
lie FIore and Latimcr counties are
large virgin pine forest on which the
saw mill are Just beginning to make
lnroads, and the possibilities of wood
working plants ip this section of the
state are practically without limit.
In eastern Oklahoma, by reason OF
the development Of its mineral re-
sources, the interurban lines OF the fu-
ture will be constructed, and the known
water power possibilities, some seven in
number on the Grand river--the Hit
nois river, the North Fork. the Arkan-
sas and the Blue river--will ultimately
be harnessed and put to work.
Among those who know the state
best, who are most familiar with its
possibilities, who have studied its re-
sources most carefully, the opinion is
unanimous that its material develop
ment not only along agricultural lines
but especially along mineral and indus
trial lines, is in its infancy; and now
that its resources have been partially
uncovered there should be- in the com
paratively near future, flood OF money
turned loose in the eastern part of the
state unparalleled in the history OF any
other section of the country.

Farmers Organize Company
To Make Deep Canadian Test

YUKON, Okla, Sept 2-(Special)
A feeling of optimism prevails in Yukon
over the prospective opening of new
oil field.
The Yukon Cooperative companv's
test well, northwest quarter Of l2-ll-6,
is located upon what is known as the
big anticline OF Canadian county. This
structure extends distance of twelve
to fourteen miles between the North
and South Canadian rivers and is six
to eight miles In width II has been
carefully examined and very favorably
reported by different competent ge-
ologists.
May Be Several Pools.
There arc two or three other pros
peotive locations in Canadian county
where the probabilities arc that small
pools will be found.
The Yukon prospect Is In an enviab'c
position in not only having been favor
ably passed upon by oil geologisn who
have made their work life study and
whose opinions are highly valued by
the large oil companies but il has met
the approval OF the Creek geologist
who is practical oil man who makes
his deductions from long and varied
cxpcricnco in various oil fields.
This company not only enoyi the
approval OF these cxncr,s, but also OF
their contracting driller who has be
come very enthusiastic owing to the
striking resemblance of the structure
through which he has passed to that
Of the Electra fields in Texas where
he has brought in many good wells.
Leaving the Red Beds.
Drilling at little more than $50
feet, the indications arc that the bit
Is now leaving the red beds behind and
very soon will reach the first import,
ant sand where the key to one OF the
best oil fields of the state may be
found. The interest in this prospective
field IS becoming intense, and the de
msnd for leases and stock in this little
company steadily grows The investor
realizes the great possibilities Of a
small investment in a mutual company
with large acreage and only $4,000
capitalization, where every shareholder
is backing his Judgment with his money
and is fully determined that a thorough
deep test shNl be made.
A great deal of hard rock has been
encountered and the company has pur
chased. at cost OF more than $400
and are now using IN the hard struc
lures, rock bit, which is guaranteed
to make foot an hour in solid granite
There is nothing that Is essential ia
the making Of deep test that Is toe
good or expensive for this company
to buy

is to make an efficient deep test.

SECTION MEN
 ARE ARE STILL STILL OUT OUT

The strike of section men, bridge men, bumpers, etc., which his been in progress in Arkansas for several days past, is still on, and no men are working on the lines affected by the strike.
 The following dispatch sent out from Fort Smith relates the details of the strike.
 A strike of the International Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employees on the entire Missouri Pa- cifc and Iron Mountain railroad sys- tenn is in progress, it became known tonight. Eight thousand men have been called out. Officials of the rail- road say that only the central division of the line, Coffeyville, Kan., to Little Rock, shown any effect of the strike, and that most of the men who refused to go to work today are employed on the railroad in Aransas coal mining camps, which are heavily organized by union labor.
 The strike includes the bridge and building departments, painters, fence crews, interlocking and signal service men, bumpers and water service men and section men and their foremen A. B. Barker, of Detroit, where the international union has it's headquar. ters, pesident of the organization was in Van Buren, yesterday. The union has opened strike headquarters at Kansas City.
 The men are striking for increase in wages and better working condi- tions. The section men are asking minimum wage of $2.25 a day. The others are asking an increase of 2s per cent in wages and time and hal1 for more than 10 hours a day. They also are asking expenses while de. tailed away from home with their out. fit cars. Union officials say that the railroad company refused to negotiate with the union when conference was asked. The company did agree later it is said, to conference, when the union appealed to the department of labor. However, the union men say that this agreement was not kept. The discharge of R. w. Blakely, of Conway Springs, Kan, general chair man af the unions greivance commit tee, hastened the strike, it is said.
