the gypsite deposit Is one of Okla-
homa's largest dei>08its of this min-
eral. There is not a plaster mill in
the county, and but eight in the state.
Just ove*r the line of Greer Co. in
Harmon county, near Salton, are the
two famous Elm river salt springs.
Previously only a small fraction of
the. mineral capacity of these springs
has been utilized, on account of the
railroad facilities. Fully 95 >per cent
of these wealth producing mineral
waters has been allowed to flow* into
the current of the near-by Salt Fork
of Red River. In some instances they
have been deflected from the stream
and the salt has been obtained by the
)na|tural evaporation precipitated by
spreading the liquid out over the hard
ground In other cases theliquid has
been distilled in large kettles. All
the cattle ranches in Southwest Okla-
, homa sent expeditions to these springs
Mangum to obtain salt supplies for the cattle
before the advent of the railroads.
Cattle salt" was sold for fifteen cents
a hundred while table salt brought as
high as fifty cents the hundred. It
is thought with fchie near advent of the
Wichita Falls and Northwestern, mod-
ern distillation machinery will be in-
stalled and the estimated capacity of
100 tons a day utilized.
Two-thirds of the business houses
of Mangum are constructed from
Greer county limestone obtained from
the great tied of ihat; material located
five miles south of the city. Numer-
ous other edifices in and surrounding
the city are made of the same mater-
ial. The formation is five square mi-
les in area.
At the city of Granite eight miles
east of Mangum is the largest single
deposit of granite in the state. Here
one of the hills of Wichita mountain
range becomes one solid mass ot the
rock. l>ts dimensions are one mile
wide, three miles long and 900' feet
high. Three quarries are allready
working at that point and many of
the finest buildings of the state were
partly erected from this material.
Local capitalists are now perfecting
the organization of a company with
sufficient capital to quarry tbte mat-
erial on a large scale.

Do You Believe in Signs ?
Take a look about the place, and see if you
don't see signs of an urgent need of new build-
ings of some kind. Maybe it is a new barn, or
a crib, or a shed, or, possibly the house you live
in is not as good as your circumstances warrant
—now is a good time to fix the storm house.
You will never have a more favorable op-
portunity to buy building material than now
We realize the crop is short, the price is
low but cheer up, we will sell you lots cf lumber
for a little money. Don't put off doing what you
can do today for what you might do tomorrow.
Come and see anyway.
