for the purchase money bore his sigma
ture.
Hardly had that deal been consum-
mated before it was announced that the
Flat Top field had been purchased by the
same or allied interests. Today all the
New River territory is agog. Messrs.
Chiffon, McCorkle and Chiffon, repre-
senting New York capital, have for the

now turns out that there is not coal
corporation on New River, on which there
is not a twenty day option of purchase.
Whether or not. the purchase will be
made will probably be definitely settled

will expire, and it will require deposit
of twenty thousand dollars to renew.
