Asphalt in the Indian Territory.

A recent mineral find which is about to be developed in the Chickasaw Indian Reservation, south of Guthrie, O. T., is of interest all over the West and Southwest. Immense bodies of asphaltum, rivaling those of the island of Trinidad, have Deen found near the Arbuckle Mountains, and a company has been formed to develop the find. The quality is the very best, and the quantity sufficient to pave the streets of every city in the West and not show any diminution of the supply. Being easy of access and easily mined, the result will be a great cheapening of this very useful article, and the people of the whole country will be greatly benefited by the find.
