Alas! British Will
Not Be Able to Get
Only Live Okapi

London, Aug. 26.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press) Brit
ish naturalists, who have been conf
IDENTIFY expecting that the only live
okapi in captivity was to be brought
to the geological gardens in Regents
park, were disappointed today when
the news came from Antwerp that
the animal had been brought there
from the Congo by DR.. Lebrum. 1t
was the gift Of Nine. Landaghem,
whose husband is in the Congo medi-
cal service.
The okapi is the survivor of a dis
tant ancestor of the giraffe. An
adult stands about five feet high, and
although it has the general shape Of
the giraffe its neck is relatively
shorter and it's forelegs are not so
high in proportion to the hindquar
tiers.
The sides of the animals head are
light fawn color and the general col
Grafton of the body is dark purple.
The most striking character is that
the rump and the upper part of the
legs are transversely striped with
black and white. 1t was first known
in 1901, having been found in the
Semliki forest, haunting low under
growth and swamps.
This particular speciman was in
Nine. Landaghem's possession for a
number of years and photographs of
it received here show it eating out
of her hand.

TEXAS TO SELL
MINERAL RIGHTS
ON STATE LAND
Here's Opportunity for Men Who
Like to Gamble in the
Oil Game.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 13.-MineraI
rights in state lands under the shall.
lows of the Gulf of Mexico and d.
rectly adjacent to producing oil
fields, will be put On the market
under competitive bidding October
1919, said Land Commissioner J. r
Robinson today.
The first tract of sos acres lies
next to the Goose Greek field on San
Jacinto Bay, near Houston. 1t is di-
vided into lots ranging from AZ to
1913 acres, and the states one-eighth
royalty from oil production on an ad-
joining tract during July was $22,-
435.
The second tract of 440 acres di-
vided into twenty acre lots is on
Matogorda Bay, near producing sui
phur mines and oil wells
Mineral rights leases for 25 years
will be sold on these tracts and the
highest bid on each is to be accepted,
says the commissioner. He adds that
this is the first time the state has
offered mineral rights on competi-
tive bids and because of the value
of the land, he expects much compe-
tition and high prices. Corporations
or persons may offer bids, and each
subdivision must be bid upon sep
arately.

''Pit-BrOW" Woman
= Is Dead at Eighty

Wigan, Eng, Aug. 24.-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press)-
Mrs. Bridget Ntzhugh,, the oldest
"pit-brow" woman in the Pemberton
coal field, has just died here at the
age of 80 years. For more than half
a century she had worked at the
mines.
"Old Bridget" as Mrs. McHugh
was Familiarity called, was a hale and
hearty, strongly built woman who
could use a shovel in filling mine
cars as we'll as any man and was al
ways looked upon as an expert pit
brow worker, few being her equal.
The shorter working day was un-
known to her and summer and Win
ter, rain or shine, she was accustom-
ed to leave home at five o'clock every
morning, and was in her place at the
coal bank before the whistle sounded
at six. Her day continued until five
or six at night. Mrs. McHugh was Il
grandmother and two of her sons
are employed in the colliery where
she worked so long.

OIL WELLS NEAR

Belief of Drillers Seems Vindi-
Gated by Wells in DesdemOna

Ranger, Texas, Sept. 13.-Once
white gravestone in the cemetery

that fell on them like rain. Trees
once green, are now sere because oil
drenched them from top to bottom
But there is no oil we'll in the little
graveyard at Desdemona. This town
and graveyard it contains are in the
heart of the prolific oil pool adjacent
to Jakehomon, the oil fields station
on the new railroad that is being
built thru the oil fields of North Cen
trail Texas,
On every side of the graveyard,
crowding close to its fences, are oil
wells. True to the belief of most OF,
men the wells near the burying
ground are the best in the pool That
is expected by the oldtime drillers
everywhere in the fields where a
burying ground is found-that the
best wells will be closest to it and
the best we'll of all will be in it if
possible to drill there.
In the Texas oil fields there are
several burying grounds, most of
them small, for the population has
been small in most OF the territory
covered by oil field developments in
this part of Texas. But not one of
these villages of the dead has been
leased to oil men for development of
the oil that may be under the ground
there.
School house grounds and church
lots have been drilled in practically
every instance where development on
contiguous territory indicated that
they would prove productive, how
ever, and several schools and church
es have elegant endowments as a re-
suit of the drilling on their lands.

NEW WELL EXTENDS
PROVED FIELD

No man can predit with safety
where the limit Of the West Texas oil
fields will be. Many have attempted
it with disconcerting results. In the
first week of September one well,
outside the proven district in the
Ranger field, came in for 5000 bar
rels, extending the field a full mile
westward.
In the Desdemona field the Co.
manche- Northern Oil company
brought in we'll good for 5000 bar
rels mile and half southeast of the
town of Desdemona, in territory
which was generally conceded to be
dry. There are indications that this
we'll opens up an entirely new pool.
