LAND SALE
Of Fifty Thousand Acres in
West Virginia.
COVERS PARTS OF -FOUR
COUNTIES.
All Ready Gas and OH Have
Been Struck.


Within weeks time of the
mammoth deal whereby Gaffy and
Galley of Pittsburg, disposed OF
their holdings in West Virginia,
comes the announcement, says the
Marietta Register. of another trans.
action involving thousands of dol
lars and the ownership of leases
which stretch through several
counties of this singularly rich
mineral State.
For several days it has been
known that transaction of i'm
portance in oil circles was about to
be contaminated, but it was NOT
until today that the Register was
given the liberty of using the news
for information of its readers. The
preliminaries of the deal had been
arranged for several days, but the
final conclusion of negotiations,
transfer of the property and pay
ment of the purchase price, was
not accomplished until Monday
The Ohio and California Re.
fining Oil Co which was incorpor-
ated under the laws of the State
of North Dakota some six months
ago. has purchased of Mclean &
Bond and Col. j. I'll. Riley, of this
city, tract of $4,000 acres OF
leases in Putnam, Mason, Kanawha
and jackson counties, West Vir-
ginia. The immense block of land
is almost continuous as the breaks
are not many, and even where
there are other leases lying between
the local .company's territory the
advantage will really accrue to the
Ohio and California Oil Co., as
drilling will serve to test their ter
ritory. The land, for the most part
is as yet undeyoloped, although a
part lies in the vicinity of Spencer
and rich fields not far from the
Sand Fork districts.
The coal oil and natural gas
privileges are included in the deal.
The purchasing company expects
to begin drilling during the coming
summer and develop parts of the
large block of leases as fast as
practicable.
The other operations of this
company are on the same large
scale. In the rich Kern River
district of California, it has large
holdings of valuable territory. In
the Ohio and West Virginia fields
they also have leases which have
been developed and are paying
good dividends to the stockholders.
The consideration is not known
as both the former owners aud the
purchasing company are re';cent
about revealing the price. 1t is
known however, that considerable
''coin of the realm" changed hands
and that the consideration will ap-
proximate in the six figure class.
The lands are not far from the
rich gasser that was drilled in about
a week ago near Spencer, and it is
said to be vaporizing at rate of 25,-
100000 cubic feet of gas per day.
Every indication of the drill points
to most profitable returns in both
gas and oil for the steady opera
ton of the drill in that section.
The large extent of land, its
location in the richest petroleum
producing belt of the state, and its
to developed territory
and most pdesirable piece of pro-
erty and even at the large price
which the Ohio and California
Co. is supposed to have
paid, the titles and rights are CON-
sidered to have been acquir ed
cheapIy.
