Total Wells: 1016 

Total Barrels:  Mixed Bloods $47,088.41; Full Bloods (+) $3,160.49

**** No Production

            Of the 2,230 members of the Osage Tribe, 1,302, or about 58.4% are of Mixed Blood; 928, or about 41.6% are Full Bloods.

            The royalty from oil for November, 1909, amounts to about 50,248.50 barrels.  Of this amount, if royalty had been individualized during November, 1909, only 168 or 7.5% of the tribe would have received any royalty, and of this number 148 Mixed Bloods would have 47,088.41 barrels, or 93.7% of the entire royalty and 20 Full Bloods the remainder, amounting to only 3,160.49 barrels, or 6.3%.  Of the Mixed Bloods, 24 receiving 10,453.55 barrels have white husbands, and 31 receiving 7,569.34 barrels are minors having white fathers, making a total of 18,022.89 barrels, or nearly 36% of the total royalty controlled by the white men, and this does not take into account the lands that have been or may be sold under certificates of competency.

            The royal for November, 1909, amounted to 22.53 barrels per capita to the entire tribe, and it will be noted that from the above schedule that of the 168 who would receive royalty, if the mineral rights went with the surface of the land, that 32 would receive less than they do at present.
