Wilkes-Barre, Oct. IS.
There Is much excitement among the
farmers of the lower end of Luzerne
county over the announcement of the
fact that oil in paying quantities has
been discovered in the vicinity. Land
has taken a jump in price in conse-
quence. For some time past the East
ern Pennsylvania Oil company has been
buying up land on the quiet, on which
they will sink wells at once.
b. c. Rosen2i, an oil veteran, is in
charge of the work, and II has just
leaked out that he has been on the
ground prospecting for over year. His
theory was that oil must be lying in
quantities near the coal fields, and this
theory has now been realized. 1t Is said
that the oil belt extends from Brooklyn,
Susquehanna county, to the northern
part of Schuylkill county.
The oil in Luzerne county has been
discovered at a distance of six hundred
feet, and Rosenzi says rich yield Is
promised The Standard Oil company
is also said to be in the field, and has
purchased large tracts of land in Sus.
quehanna county, but as far as known
none In Luzerne county.
