Oklahoma's Secrets

Resident of the Great Territory Tells of Its Possibilities.

Oklahoma is revealing new possibilities each year, according to J.C. Sanderson of Kingfisher, that territory. Said he to a reporter of the New York Tribune at the Fifth Avenue hotel the other day: "Our territory is giving up its secrets one by one, and the more it is developed the more we find what a good place it is to live in. First it was the fertility of the soil that attracted the homesteaders. Then cotton raising became the feature, due to a suitable climate. From that it was but a step to begin manufacturing.

"Now we are beginning to find mineral deposits. Just recently at Curtis, Woodward county, strata of pure rock salt twenty feet thick were discovered at a depth of only forty-seven feet. Below the rock a stream of hot water, highly impregnated with minerals, was found. Who knows now but what Oklahoma, in addition to its other features, will rival the states famed for their mineral springs?"
