PIeasants Co. ". Va.

An oil deal of considerable mag
nitude was transacted at Parkers'
burg last Friday, by which Mallory
Bros. & Stewart, of that city, sold
their holdings In this county to
Diusmore & Co. of st. Marys. The
leaseholds conveyed comprise the
farms of J. S. Rmith, W: II. Smith,
Susan Frazier, on Green's Run, J.
Barrett and Sam and Jerry King, on
Long Run, J. R. Bills, of Calcutta,
and Samuel w. Pratt, on the
Right Fork of French creek, be-
sides half interest In the Noses
Gorrell lease on Sugar creek-in
all about $50 acres of territory.
There ale fifty-nire producing
wells, with an average daily pro-
ducliou { f from forty to fifty bar
rels, and the consideration was
about $4,000.
The firm OF Dinsmore & Co. Is
composed of J. c. Dinsmore and
his SON L. E of Maple Shade, Pa.
and another son J. D. Dinsmore, Of
st. Marys; a nephew, L D. Dins-
more, of St. Marys, and DR.. &. M
Sellers, of Friendly.
+ c. Dinsmore and sous already
had a considerable production 10
the county, and so had L. D. Dlns-
moor and DR.. Sellers, who had op-
Grated in partnership. As a result
of this deal the two firms have
Joined their interests, and now t =
gether oHn I2e wells-a larger
number than any other single firm
In the county.
THE territory they just purchased
Is only partially developed, and un-
doubtedly contain yet great guam
titles of oil.
We believe that by this deal
Mallory Bros. & Stewsr; have
closed cut all their oil interests in
-Pieasants, except possibly some
holdings in the Big Kuot field.
They have been uniformly success
full In getting dOwn 10 the place
where oil grows and made quite a
stake here In the shallow territory
The weather has been so bsd
lately that very little could be &C
complished In the way of new
work, but with the present thaw
unless the roads get In too bad
shape, the prospect for further i'm
mediate development Is better.
