SI,4OO,OOO Oil Deaf.

The largest deal ever recorded IN OIL
producing property since the inception
of the petroleum business was closed at
TitusvIlle last Saturday afternoon.
The magnitude of the transaction Will
be understood best by the purchasing
price, which was cash coIsIderat ton
and amounted to 81, 400, 900. In the
deal is included all or the Devonian,
Matson and Emery Oil Companies
holdings of producing property III the
Bradford. Mexican county field, located
in what Is known as the Ormsbv, Chip
nunk and WatsOnYiHe pools line COM
Jined holdings of the three companies
amounted TO 10000 acres of partly de
veloped territory. on which are located
between 400 and 400 producing wells,
having an aggregate production OF more
than }. 900 barrels q day. There are
also 20 drilling wells. some nearing com
pletion BY the transaction the various
properties pass to the ownership of the
Midland division of the South OH Com
pany. producing branch of the Stand
ard, and the negotiations werI conduct
ed through John L. and J. c. Mckinney
OF Titusville. Pa, representives of the
Midland company. The preliminaries
to the purchase began about six months
ago, but owing to a failure to agree up
on a price after several weeks Of give
and take, tne negotiations We're dropped
and the deal declared off Two weeks
ago new overtures were made at a fig
ure somewhat higher than had been
named in the first proposition to pur-
chase. IN the interim, however, the
development of the property had been
pushed and the production almost dou-
bled, and at the time of the sale was
larger than that OF any other three indie
pendent producing companies in the
business The production obtained
from the property up to the time OF the
sale had, it is reported, paid back all
the money that mad been invested and
left the selling price, 81, 100000, net
profit to the former owners. In the
personnel OF the three companies are
well known and experienced operators.
G. p. Collins of Bradford, Pa, president
of the Devonian, and James r.. Leon
ard and J H. Evans, treasurer and sup
erIntendent respectively of the same
company reside at Beaver, Pa. Mr..
Matson of Bradford is president of the
Matson Oil Company, and Lewis j.
Emery, Jr. of Bradford holds the same
position with the Emery Oil Company.
The active developme mt of the proper
ties of which they disposed, began less
than three years ago.
The money consideration surpasses
any involving similar purchase, but
the Mckinney Bros. are throughly
practical operators and have full
knowledge of the value of Bradford
producing proderty, and are regarded
as conservative in making estimates,
and both purchaser and seller came to
an agreement after a protracted delib-
