JAY. -- The building OF the
Arkansas & Oklahoma railway from
eluua. In Mayes county, into Della
ware county, a distance OF go miles,
j.. an evidence that tho vast tim
tr lands IN Mayes and Delaware
..uuties have great values. For
wears countless acres Of rough waste
hnd. as they have been called have
produced nothing and the timber
which grew on the rough hills'des
has had no value because OF the dis
farce to market. Then there has
been no market for standing tim
bOr.
About two years ago some men
ui far-sighted vision conGcived the
idea that the vast acreage of hard
wood timber ip these counties could
be converted into an asset n there
was some way OF getting this tim
her 60 q market. Among the men
who forcsaw the future In this in
duetry were John W. Hoffman Of
Kansas City and Il. ". Braly Of
Nuskogoc, who composed the Hoff-
man Tie g. Timber company, with
headquarters at Muskogce. This
company got busy and began TO buy
timber from the Cherokees, paying
an the way from 10 cents 20 $3.50
an acre. More than 100000 acres
have been purchased.
The Hoffman Tie e Timber com
uauy then decided certain timber
rights TO the National Hardwood
company. Then a loan was nogoti-
ated by the National Hardwood
company for S1.500.OO0 for the pur-
pose Of building n railroad and es-
tahIishing such mills as would be
necessary 20 start the work.
WORK on the new railroad ls I'm
rapid progress and Il is said that
the most modern tools are being put
60 tho new work, and that moro
work Is done In the space of "a
hours than was ever witnessed by
people OF this locality. Tho new
road will pierce the dense forests
and follow what Is known as Saline
creek for a number OF miles. Most
OF the right-of-way is being obtained
from restricted Indians. Some OF
the citizens are asking big prices
for their lands, which have ad %
vanced in price since the planting Of
the new timber industry.
About midway of the 2O-m!le
stretch, upon the allotment OF Ty-
anne Grass, a full-blood Cherolt &c
citizen, a town IS TO spring UP as
II ny lldblNt - nuuNltu acres bf
TO be purchased through John r.
Leach GUARDIAN for the incompe-
tent Cherokee. Here Is to be To-
Gated one central mill, which will
require the building of 500 cottages
for the workmen. Several hundred
workmen are to be employed here.
A great many people are being
employed on the railroad grade.
When the Indians were selling their
timber rights, some ucriticised the
officers for permitting the sale TO
be made. as It was contended that
after this timber was sold the In
dian would have nothing left, and
when the timber was gone, HIS last
revenue source was destroyed. 1t
was like ceiling the goose that laid
the golden egg. The truth is, more
people are getting work in that Sec
ton OF Delaware county than ever
before. Local men for the most
part are doing the work.
II is hard to estimate the number
Of feet of lumber that viii be pro-
duced from these timber forests, but
Il Is estimated that more than TO-
