fcient volume to form any appreciable off

they expect to get a better price price for
their product The shipments will likely
continue heavy until the end of September.

One sale OF Oil property was contaminated
yesterday and several big ones are in the
air. The lease of the Salisbury farm, mile
east of sistersville, containing 240 acres. was
purchased by the Murphy Bros, of WASH
ington, Pa. for $4,000, from F. Sandeck.
Mr.. Sandeck went to Sistersville last win
ter, and after looking over the ground, con-
cluded that it was good place to invest and
leased the Salisbury property. 1t cost him
about $500. McFadden & Co.'S OoDarrel we'll
on the Thistle farm, joins 1t on the north.
There are no wells on the Salisbury farm.
There is big deal on the tapis in the No
blestown pool. The probable purchasers are
ing the property and gauging the wells for
several weeks, and the chances are the pa
pers will be closed before the end OF the
present week.
