A f i account is given of tho copper de
fss and cnod reasons assigned why ef
j s ntirto made to work them have
successful He says
ivumpt bad been made to make a
f i4 examination of the country and
nine the relations of tho copper de
1 v f um ju various counties in that part
D sato until the work of this survey
w s Oiirun
1 c Untry was lmown to belong to the
1 e i formation but the relation of tho
i um > us and the nature of their occur
tc ad not been studied
< ao Marey made the mistake of calling
united waterworn clay volcanic
md nearly every geologist who has
J > ft mat field since has gone with the
liai there would be found veins of
j rTous material traversing the coun
Y T m various directions and that the
J > Si iiosits of copper would be found at a
lo r depth than tho outcrops
TV oriirin of the copper is not from vol
aii sources It is not vulcanite but it
a
is a ti ptuneite and was precipitated from
o s ater at tho time of the deposition
w he strata There is no evidence any
jvtiirc in this entire region of volcanic up
Itjais sine tho time of the depositions of
Iertman beds
These bedslio almost
r oiral against the Wichita mountains
f ft n th and no veins of igneous ma
j < ru have been fouad traversing the coun
tr i
in any direction
The c pper lies in beds narallel with tho
prata which dip at a small angle to the
P < nhwwt It lies generally in beds of blue
M > which are themselves highly impreg
g eu vitli copper There are three distinct
LnzoLs of this copper in the formation
lraated by several hundred feet of inter
vS strata The lowest is found in the
Wichita beds of tho Permian which are the
owest beds in the formation It is found
jp atest abundance in Archer county
ha extends in a northeast direction cross
SHedriTer ner the mouth of Cache
creek the locality where Capt Marcy first
made the dhScovery of the copper
At the center of Archer county the prin-
cipal part of the ore occurs in two forms
One that of pseudomorph after wood and
tho otlier id round nuggets
The pseudomorph ore lies embedded in a
blue clay in the form of logs of wood and
may at one time have been wood but now
has been transformed into copper Six
thousand pounds of that material taken out
of the mines at one time averaged 60 per-
cent of of copper
That this material was once logs of tvcod
and other vegetable material I Judge from
the fact of having found logs of petrified
wood tbafc lpartly iron partly silica
copper I have found many
of ferns in the sandstone that were
transformed into copper At one place I
found a small petrified vertebrate animal
that had been transformed into copper
The nugget ore lies also in the blue clay
and is obtained by dhrging into the clay
where they occur like digging potatoes
The miners for that reason gave one place
the name of Potato Mine This class of
ore will run as high as 78 per cent of me
tallic copper The blue clay is impregnated
with copper to such a degree that it can be
profitably worked for the copper it con-
tains as will bo seen from the following
analysis of material taken from this lo
cality The clay bed at this place is four
feet thick
I make the following extract from a re-
port made by Professor Gustaf M West
man an eminent Swedish mineralogist
who visited this proiierty with me in 1SS9
for tho purpose of making a thorough ex-
amination thereof We collected tho clays
from beds only a few inches from the sur-
face He says
At tho excavation Isbel lead we found
three separate veins of copper of a width
respectively 12x0 inches sx3 inches and
4x2 inches and besides immediately below
the Iowersandstoneastratum of cupriferous
marl extending the entire width of the tun-
nel eight inches thick yielding 1C per cent
of copper Tho cupriferous marl situated
below the sandstone containing 15 per cent
of copper can be estimated to bo worth at
the place 10 per ton
Professor Wcltman in speaking of an-
other place in tho samo vicinity says
Although almost all the ore scattered
on tho surface in nuggets had been taken
away I only had to remove one foot of earth
from the suface on the three spots men-
tioned already in order to find large de-
posits bedded in the ekiy Alter washing
this clay was found to contain ten per-
cent of copper ore
THE CTPSCM BEDS
are immense and contain selenite radiate
fibrous alabaster rose and massive gyp-
sum It is suitable to all the uses to which
the material is put Professor Cummins
gives au idea of the quantity as follows
The gypsum fields of Texas and tho
Northwest are the most extensive of any
such formation in tho United States In
Texas it reaches from the north line of the
stato to the line of the Texas and Pacific
railway on the south and is from twenty to
fifty miles wide Tho beds are of varying
thickness front that of a knife blade to
twenty feet The cast line of the deposit
begins on Ited river near the mouth of the
North Fork and thence by a line to Sweet
water on the line of the Texas and Pacific
railway
The western boundary is at or near tho
foot of the Staked Plains Tho entire
thickness of tho bed containing gypsum
about the middle of this district is about
nineteen hundred feet
Agriculture
But important as is the mineral feature
that of agriculture is more so for upon that
after all success in other pursuits mainly
depends and we are glad to see that the
agricultural phase is not neglected iu this
report On the contrary we regard the
article on the agricultural capacities of that
section as tho best in the whole book and
we would be glad if we could re-
produce it entire As it is we must be
content with a few excerpts Mr Cum-
mins says
Thirty years ago the broad prairies ot
the black waxy lauds in tho middle part
of the state wore thought to bo too much
subject to drouth to be suitable for cultiva-
tion except for wheat Now they are the
finest in the state Ten year ago when
the Texas and Pacific crossed the Brazos on
its westward march to the Kio Grande it
entered a Gauntry almost entirely devoted
to stockr lsing with only here and there a
small farm and tho general expression and
belief was that it would always be so Be-
fore the Colorado was reached oven the
stockman was not found and tho Staked
Plains were thought to be a barren sandy
desert over which oven the wild game did
not roam Ten years ago all the Panhandle
was unoccupied except by stockmen Now
prosperous towns have sprung up along tho
lines of railroads and farms are being
opened up at a rapid rate On the Staked
Plains where there was thought to bo no
water and where whole parties of emi-
grants on their way to California and thou
sands of cattle being driven across the
plains perished for lack of water it has
been demonstrated that everywhere at a
depth of from thirty to ono hundred and
fifty feet abundance of water can bo ob-
tained by digging These lands instead of
being as the geographers taught a desert
are covered with a luxuriant growth of nu-
tritious grasses and tho soils arc as good
as any to be found in tho state
Steadily tho scttlemeut of the country
has gone on and the largo cattle ranches
that ouco occupied the entire country are
giving place to tho agriculturist
Thirty years ago the half of Nebraska
was thought to be only fit for grazing pur-
poses but now it is the center of one of tho
most fertile cornproducing countries in tho
world Colorado was once thought to be
tho same so was California yet tho value
of their farm products is more than the
output of their mines in a single year
These results have been obtained by util-
izing tho rainfall by deep plowing and sub
soiling and thereby forming a reservoir
for the surplus water which formerly ran
off and was wasted
Last winter at the foot of the plains in
Dickens county we purchased oats at a
ranch at tho same figures we had to pay for
them in Wichita county They had been
raised on a farm of 320 acres sown entirely
in oats and barely Tho oats had averaged
over forty bushels to the acre
In Baylor county it has been demonstrated
that good crops of cotton can be made that
will class with that raised on the black
waxy lands of Dallas and Collin counties
Wichita county is claimed to bo tho ban-
ner county of the state for small grain and
these counties are but samples of what may
bo done in any of tho counties of the North-
west Practical tests have proved that tho
Panhandle of Texas is destined to become a
fine agricultural district
Tho wild fruits of the northwestern part
of the state are restricted to a Sew kinds
only The plum currant wild haw grapes
dewberries blackberries and algireta are
the principal kinds
As far as fruit raising has been attempted
in Northwestern Texas it has proved in
every way satisfactory Like all other
countries a great many fruit trees have
died from neglect or want of proper care
after planting Sometimes the trco has
bten planted in a soil that was so close that
the roots could aot penetrate it and the
hole in which the tree was planted was so
small that only a small amount of moisture
could be stiored up and so whon the dry
time has come the tree died from lack of
moisturo Where caro has been ex
proper
ercised in planting and cultivating no trou-
ble has been experienced in getting the
trees to grow All trees planted have a
vigorous growth and make plenty oX wood
sometimes too much for good fruit produc-
ing
The principal kinds of fruit raised are
apples peaches pears plums apricots and
grapes

AitnMORE L T July 19 Tho Ardmore
Chieftain has issued the following bulletin
wnich is a very good and fair statement of
the situation in the intruder matter as now
existing I have talked with several par-
ties who rode on the train with Mr Ben-
nett from Pauls Valley to Ardmore and
they substantiate the statements in this
bulletin The arrest of these permit col-
lectors now makes tho situation doubly in-
teresting
Agent Bennett left here on the early train
for Muskogee and expects to go to Wash-
ington to report to the department Your
correspondent gives the following facts
from a personal interview with Bennett
The troop of cavalry has returned to Fort
Sill and will there await further action of
the interior department before they return
to the Chickasaw Nation
The militia is disbanding informally
many of the members deserting and return-
ing to their homes Since tho troops have
left they cannot be kept together
But about 100 persons men women and
children have so far been ejected from the
Natiou by the military In no instance was
anyone put out who held a bogus permit
obtained in good faith Agent Bennett has
taken up all bogus permits given the
holders receipts therefor and forwarded
them to the department
Nearly every head permit collector and
deputy collector in the nation besides sev-
eral citizens are guilty of issuing fraudu-
lent permits and embezzlement They are
refugees from justice or under arrest II
II McLane now under arrest at the militia
camp is about SS000 short and has issued
about 1000 bogus permits George R
Beeler president of a Purcell bank is also
under arrest for issuing bogus permits He
is a deputy collector Fully half of the per-
mits inspected by the agent were bogus
Governor Byrd while in Washington
preferred charges against Agent Bennett
for neglect of duty and charges the non
citizens with being responsible for the is-
suance of bogus permits Bennett has an-
swered these charges and justifies his con-
duct since the work began Byrd is now
home at Stonewall
It is now reasonably certain that the
work of ejecting intruders will stop until
after crops are gathered arid it is ex-
tremely doubtful if it will be resumed at
all The agent was given authority to
stop if he saw fit and his action in dismiss-
ing tho cavalry is significant The permit
frauds will be investigated thoroughly by
the United States government inspectors
Agent Bennett received instructions from
the department that the collection of the
cattle tax was illegal The cattle of non
citizens in this Nation contrary to law are
subject to removal but not taxation

The Latest Romor of an Attempt on the
Life of the Czar An Attendant Shot
by the Guard Tragic Scene
Losdox July 18 Lord Salisburys adhe-
sion to the triple alliance appears to have
been made with due regard to the protec-
tion of English Interests in Egypt and In
dix The conferences of the emperor and
Herr von Bieberstein Prussian minister of
state the imperial secretary of stato for
foreign affairs with Lord Salisbury have
materially altered the whole course of the
German foreign policv Only partial indi-
cations of the drift o f the contents of the
interview concluded at tho Hatfield house
has transpired but enough is known to sug-
gest that Lord Salisbury obtained assur-
ances from the emperor that the Franco
Russian projects against Englands posses-
sions in the East will be met with the Ger-
man support of England An entente is
thus established all around the arrange
mentaiming at Asiatic as well as European
equilibrium Diplomatic opinion here con-
curs that Lord Salisbury has got the best of
tho bargain securing a positive check upon
the French schemes against Egyptian occu-
pation and Russian encroachment in India
without committing England to an armed
intervention in support of Germany
The porte which has become alarmed at
the movement of the French diplomats
toward reopening the question of the D
danelles in the interest of Russia has com-
municated with the German ambassador at
Constantinople on the policy of the triple
alliance
It is understood that the Turkish govern-
ment received assurance that the present
position would be maintained
The French ministerial crisis was watched
here more with curiosity than emotion It
was recollected how just before the cham-
ber of deputies adjourns maneuvering
deputies try to ring down the curtain with
a sensational squabble The present squab-
ble has no genuine basis in exceptional
treatment of French commercial travelers
in AlsaceLorraine The German embassy
in Paris does not refuse to vise commer-
cial travelers passports Necessarily a
passport is not granted to men who aro
known to the officials of the embassy as
members of secret political dubs in Al
saceLorraine or who are suspected of
distributing revolutionary badges medals
and pamphlets of which many commercial
travelers carry a stock In every case the
refusal of a passport is duly noted and is
open to inquiry of the French foreign of-
fice which knows better than to press tho
inquiry
The Czar after the reception of the
Frenchsquadron at Cronstadt will sail for
Copenhagen escorted by the united Rus-
sian and French warships The latest ru-
mor regarding attempts upon the life of the
czar which rumor causes temporary fear
in St Petersburg was that au officer had
tried to murder the Czar with an axe The
report arose from the fact that the Czar was
amusing himself in tho forest chopping
trees when the head of the axe flew off and
struck an attendant in the face wounding
him Tho Czar went to the assistance of
the wounded man and got some blood on
his hands and clothes An officer of tho
guard approached them and thought that
the Czar was in danger He called upon
some soldiers to rescue his majesty and be-
fore an explanation could be made tho
wounded attendant was cut down by the
overzealous soldiers Tho Czar caused the
officer to be punished
The emperor arrived today at Bronse
beyond Tronhejm and continued on his
way towards Laffodens
If is officially announced that the generals
commanding the Second Fourth Seventh
Eighth and Ninth army corps will be placed
on the retired list

AIDED EMIGRANTS
A Batch of Russians Will Trobably be

3Ian ol Twenty Years
NewYoek July 19 Thirty emigrants
all Russian Jews aro in the detention bu-
reau at the bargeofnce awaiting the decision
of the superintendent of emigration It is
probable that they will be sent back as
each one has been assisted and the law on
assisted emigrants is inexorable
One of the detained emigrants Mendel
Rogalski a young man of twenty and a
carpenter by trade tells a most thrilling
story of his own adventures and sufferings
in Russia He became a suspect while
working at his trade in Riga and to es-
cape Siberia which was unbearable he
fled from city to city pursued constantly
He was finally taken prisoner and beaten
and prepared for Siberia when he again
managed to escape He succeeded in reach-
ing tho frontier and by assistance of his
counteymen was sent to Hamburg Here
he was further assisted and left for
America He has no money having been
robbed of his little savings of six years
when taken prisoner and he says if he is
caught again in that country he will be put
to deatn A Jewish society has taken hold
of his case
