1t was learned yesterday upon good
authority that in all probability the
| buyers of the large tract of coal land
| lying west and south of this city, on
| which options are being held, will be
paid off the latter part of this week or
the first of next week. Those who
are managing this deal have been
working hard during the last few weeks
to get all the titles and abstracts
| completed, and hope by this time to
| have them completed. This tract of
| coal territory, as has been previously
mentioned in the Register, contains
about 10000 acres and is very valuable,
and not only that, but it will place the
owners of this land sold in a splendid
financial condition, and without a
| doubt this part of the county will
lead as the richest in finance of the
county.
