DEAL IN TURPENTINE LAND.
Orlando Real Estate Men Have Re-
Gently Sold 211 ,OO0 Acres.


Orlando, Fla, May 23.-Until within the
past year or two, nothing has been done
toward the production of naval stores in
this part of Florida. 1t was generally I'M
derstood that the timber was practically
valueless for turpentine purposes.
Turpentine men, however, have been
ransacking the woods for new fields. OF
late they have turned their attention this
way, and the indications are that they will
capture South Florida.
One real estate firm of Orlando, Messrs.
McQuaig & Beecham, has sold for tur-
pentine purposes since Jan. l, 1899, 211, 900
acres of land. Recently Mr.. McQuaig took
out a prospector. In three days they
drove $50 miles, and closed a deal for 49,

Florida pioneer, and knew just where 70

and has acted as a guide, and pilot He
ran the first steamboat down the Kissim-

II is a question with many Of the resi-
dents whether the working of the timber
for turpentine purposes is desirable Some
clam that the effect will be the ultimate
ruin of the timer, as well as ruin OF the
stock ranges. Others think that no dis

Time alone will settle The question.
