white settlers. The land's occupM by the mountains is only availa
ble for grazing purjioseij and the nth mineral debits contained there
in. These it is claimed are rich in gold, silver, tin, and coal, These
are htill to !e developed.
The land outside of the mountains are undulating prairie, well wa
tered with living streams of wat?r and spring?, while water is found
by digging at depths of twenty to thirty feet. All the streams !ear
a more or less fringe of timber, while large areas are covered with a
growth of mesfjuite trees, a timlicr which make good fence tofcts and
is excellent fueL Other sections and some streams l;ur a growth of
tiru!er large enough to saw into lumber. Any or all of these timber
lands are productive, and will make line farms.
By an Act of Congress approved June 6, IfOU, the altovo reserva.
tion is to le oienc l lo settlement. On the north tide of this reserva
tion is another known as the Wichita' reservation, which may Ixj in
eluded at the same time, b:it this is not yet known. The law open
ing the reservation provides that the allotments shall !c made in from
three to six months, and makes it the duty of the President to issue
proclamation opening the country within six .months after the allot
ments are made. It if not likely that the president will take the six
months, and he may irue his proclamation immediately after the al
' lotmcnts are made. Thus it may bo seen the lands may open at any
time from the early spring to summer of next year.
There need Ik: no doubt of the productive
ness of these lauds. They have lieen , tried
in every quarter with a result that has pro
duced 20 to 30 bushels of wheat, and 40 to
50 bushels of corn jcr acre. These crops
have been raised by farmers living on Indi-

ment, after the Indian has taken his allotment, will give homes to
nearly 10,000 families. The price of these lands will lie 1.25 per
acre, payable at the end of live years residence. No better chance to
get a home in this superb climate will ever be known again. The
climate is all that can le desired, being a hupp' medium between the
hot climate of Texas and the cold climate of Kansas or Missouri. TJiP
la)-s are never excessively hot, nor the' winters excessively cold. In
fttimmer days the mercury seldom goes above a hundred, while the
night are invariably cool. In winter the mercury seldom foes be
low zero, and then for only a day or two. The reservation has one
line of railroad on its northern ljordcr, following the Washita, river,
with twd more surveyed and will probably bo built before the open
ing, which will give market tacjlities equal to an older country,
CmckASiu, Indian Territory, lie two miles east of the caster
lwrder of this Indian reservation, and is a city of 4,000 people, with
all that goes to make a city of ttiat si.e. It is lighted with electricity
has a 500 barrel per day flouring mill, an 80-ton per day cotton seed
oil null, local and long distance telephone, is one of the seats of the
U. S. Court system, two wholesale grocery stores, ten retail grocery
stores, eight ury gomis houses, lour gents lurnishings, four hardwar
and implement houses, four lumber yards, three banks, Jive drug
stcrjs, two iewelrv stores, one steam cari)entci shop, three hotels
Jot'g'ng houses, and restaurants in numbers, together with all shops
of blacksmiths. loot ana shoe, etc,, that go to make up a
pushing "City. It has six church buildings, with stated preachers,
two school buildings in which school is maintained every ypar.
The people of the city and surrounding country aie intellectual and
cultivated people gathered from nearly every state in the Union. No
lielter people exist anywhere.
The city is incorporated, has a mayor and board of aldermen, ant
aw and order prevail here as in older states and communilie.. Bus
ness is carried on, debts are collected, offenses against morality or
any disorder or .crime punished, Uc same as in the states. Don't
think that because this is the Indian Territory that the people are
outlaws, mid that all is -wild and wooly. Ihe "Indians" in this vi
cinity arc among our most respected peopleprogressive, educated

Your life, your property and your earnings ace as safe here as in the

The city of Chickasha is improving very fast, having doubled its
population in the past 18 months. Brick and stone buildings are go-
ing up au the time, l rices on property are advancing all the time.

TilK BEST THE MAIiKET AFFOUDS FOR THE MOSEY.
London, Sept. 14 The following
dispatth has leen received al the
war ofllce from Lord Robeits:.
Machadorp, Thursday, Sep. 13
Kruger has Qed to Lorenzo Marques
and Botha has been obliged to give
over the command of the Boer army
temporarily to Yiljoen, on account
of ill health. In consequence of
this I have circulated . a proclama
tion as follows: . t
"The late President Kruger, with
Reitz and archives of the South Af
rican republic has crossed the Por
tugese frontier and arrived at Lou
renzo Marques with the view of
sailing for Europe ar an early date,
Kruger formally resigned the po
sition which he held as president of
the South African republic, thus
severiog his otflcial connection with
the Transvaal. Kruger' action
shows how hopeless in his opinion
is the M-ar which lias now been
carried on for nearly a year and his
desertion of the Boer cause should
make clear to his fellow burghers
that it is useless to continue the
struggle any longer.
It is probably unknown to the in
habitants of the Transvaal and the
Orange River Colony that nearly
15.000 of their fellow subjects are
now prisoners tf war, not oae of
whom will be released until those
now under arms against us surren-
der unconditionally.
The burghers must be cognizant
c f the fact that no intervention in
their behalf gan come from any of
the great powers, and, further, that
the British ampire is determined to
complete the work which has al
ready cost so many lives and carry
to a conclusion the war declared
against her by the late government
of the Transvaal and the Qrange
Free State, a war to which there
can be but one ending.
