In the main lobby on the first floor of the Territory Building were displayed the collections of old Indian pottery, beadwork, etc.  These collections belong to J.E.  Campbell, of the Cherokee Nation; Mr. and Mrs. J.S.  Murrow, of the Choctaw Nation; Mr. Thomas P. Smith and Miss Alice M. Robertson, of the Creek Nation, and were all especially fine and very valuable, many of the articles being more than a hundred years old and representing in the highest type the work of the old Indians.  The paintings of Jefferson and his descendants, the work of Mrs. Narcissa Owen, of the Cherokee Nation, as well as the tapestries by the same artist, were admired by the many thousands who visited the Territory pavilion.  Mention should be made also of the 100 wild flowers of the Indian Territory, mounted and framed, the collection of Mr. J.B.  Bushyhead, of the Cherokee Nation.

The second floor of the Territory Building contained a large reception hall, ladies’ parlors and resting rooms, and the offices of the executive commissioner.  An especially attractive feature about the pavilion were the large stair landing and the five big windows, two transparencies being set in each and representing typical scenes from the Territory.

The Indian Territory was also represented in three of the exhibit palaces of the exposition, maintaining booths in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, the Palace of Horticulture, and the Palace of Agriculture.

The coal fields of the Indian Territory, especially in the Choctaw Nation, have for years been operated successfully, and within the past two years the development of the coal industry has been immense.  Petroleum is also found in many parts of the Indian Territory.  This industry, though new, is developing into gigantic proportions.  Hundreds of wells are going down in both the Bartlesville and Muskogee fields, and the majority of those already opened are good producers.  The crude oil in the Bartlesville field is in grade about the same as the Kansas oil, while the grade of the Muskogee field is somewhat better.  Railroads, pipe lines, and refineries are being built for handling this product, which promises to be in such abundant supply.  In the Indian Territory booth in the Mines and Metallurgy Building were shown many samples of Indian Territory coals and oils.  Beside the four large cubes of the four separate grades of bituminous coal found in the Territory, there were arranged cases of the finest samples of egg coal, nut coal, and pea coal, and pyramids of coal and coke were erected.  Samples of the oil from 27 flowing wells, together with samples of the oil sands, were arranged in glass and formed the background of the booth.  Cubes of the Chickasha granite and the Cherokee marble and many blocks of building stone, filtering rock, colite, etc., were shown in this booth.  A large relief map, costing more than $2,000, of the Choctaw coal fields and many pictures and plates of the top works of coal mines, oil wells, and asphaltum works were attractively placed in this booth.
