About Mineral Valuea.
Lawton. — Professor De Barr of tbe
University at Norman, is spending a
portion of bi* vacation in the Wichita
Mountain* for tbe purpose of satisfy-
ing himself concerning the mineral
values in tbat region. Thus far he
has made a number of teats which
abowed valuea ranging from $fr 00 to
$10.00 per ton. He has stated that in
some localities there are indications
similsr to those in the rich Cripple
Creek country. But it make* little
difference what Profe**or De Barr or
anyone else says about it. We hare
"knockers" here in Lswton who will
tell strsngers that it is all a joke
about there being gold in the Wichita*
If the miners were gathering 10 pound
nnggets some of the Kansas City pa-
pert would continue to publish Bain's
report at least three times per month.
The*e ' knocker*" have knocked out a
number of enterprise* thst would have
put down deep shafts and made im-
portant demonstrartons. T$ie truth
will not be known until there are deep
Investigations.
Increase In Farm Values.
An examination of the Returns made
to the territorial auditor of farm lands
for assessment shows that a gradual
increase, both in the number of acres
and the amount of the assessment, but
no Increase in the vslue per acre of
valuation for sssessment Auditor
L. W. Baxter said that the ?,8Tr>,704
acres of land in 1WMI were assessed at
$ .(C3.6Sfl. In 1001 there wa* returned
4.(112,70s acre* and the valuation wn*
$17,050,870. In l'JO? the acreage of as-
sewed lend* had increased to 6.344,-
6_ 3 and the valuation was $2°.',614,.195.
In 1003 the acreage was 7,451,918 and
tbe total valuation had increased to
$-'7,204,567. This year Ihe acreage re-
turned wa* 8,661.P45 and the total val-

FOUR JAPANESE RUN WAR.
Xrurj Detail of Armies and Havisg
and Smallest Movement* Known
in Tokio Through Spica.
There are four men in Japan who
know everything about the progress
of the war. and they know everything,
not only about the movements and
plans of ths Japanese forces, but ihe
smallest movement* of the Russian
forces also. These men are tbe em-
perior. Marquis Oyama (cbief of the
general staff). Baror Kodama- (sub-
chief of the staff) and Marquis Yama-
gata who is expected shortly to take
the supreme command of the forceg
•t the front. These four personages,
with the principal commanders on
active eervice, are "running" the war;
and every detail Is known to them.
But not a syllable of their informa-
tion beyond what they deslr* to he
known ever leaks out
To them tbe exact disposition of
every regiment—almost of every com-
psny—and of every ship, down to tha
smallest gunboat, I* known from day
to day All the plans are laid with
mathematical precision. Every movg
Is carefully devised, every contingen-
cy fores**n. and nothing whatever lg
left to chance The whole schem*
works like a vast machine, and any
one of these men -but no other per
son in tbe whole of Japan—could say
exactly what will happen on any given
day.
"How Is It done?" Is the quest io*
which all Europeans are asking
The explanation lie* In the stiprerr*
excellence and efficiency of the s*r-re(
service system. The army employ*
many thousands of spies. These men
are everywhere, and are always in
touch with headquarters. They ar«
among the Rusetan troops themselves,
and they swarm in Manchuria. Th«
Russians have captured a few of
them, and hanged or shot them, but
for ev*ry one thus disposed of therg
are a hundred volunteefs. It Is con-
sidered tbe most honorsble work that
can be Intrusted to a man. Tbe pro
fession of spy, or kancho, is always
overcrowded.
LONG DANCE WITHOUT STOP
Somali Woman Astonishes Londoners
at Religious Fete—Collapses
After 36 Hours.
A Somali woman has astonished
Londoners by dancing without a stop
for 36 hours. It was no part of her
business to tbu* exert herself: she sim-
ply entered with excessive and unex-
pected heartipess into the spirit of the
great Whitsuntide festival.
A number of women of the Somali
tribe are proving a great attraction at
Bradford exhibition, and it was ex-
plained to ihem that Whitsuntide is a
great religious celebration, correspond-
ing in Importance with their Mubar-
ram. also an occasion of rejoicing.
The festival proved infectious, for
one of the women broke into wha< Is
termed "the mad dance." Her compan-
ions unconcernedly became passiv*
spectators of the woman's frenzied ex-
ertions.
A quick, eccentric, and yet at tlmei
rhythmical step was maintained for thi
long period stated Not for one mo-
ment did the dancer pause for refresh-
ment or rfst.
She collapsed at the close of the thir-
ty-sixth hour Alter an interval she
was aroused by tbe other Somali wom-
en who. by heating their tamborinei
and by cries of exhortation, succeeded ir
encouraging her to another effort
The second dance, however, did not
last long, and the woman again fell,
exhausted.
