\
PAWHUSKA,. Okla, March IA
total of $25O,oOO was paid for 1925
tracts at the opening of the auc-
tion here today, of oil and gas leases
on lands of the Usage Indians Only
tracts on the east side of Usage
county were offered and they were
not regarded as the choicest lands.
West side locations will be offered
tomorrow and the bids are expected
to mount rapidly
The highest price for lease today
was $4,000, paid by the Texas Oil
company for "a tract of 100 acres
eight miles southwest of Pawhuska
The auction was held in an old
theatre, scene Of many previous
sales, and was presided over by
Colonel e. Walters, of Skedee, Okla.
Walters and Usage lease sales have
become linked through long associa-
tion in the minds of oil men through
out the mid-continent field.
The Indians themselves, recipients
of the proceeds from the sale show
ed less interest today than usual
Only a few appeared at the theatre
that about $4,0OO,OOO is expected to
be realized from the sale of all hte
leases. The. big money is never in
yolved, however, until the west side
leases go on, the block. Then a nod
of the head may mean a bid in he
