CHICAGO MEN
BUY OUT M'KEON.
An Option Executed Yesterday In
Milford on Talisman Nine
OF Beaver County.
OTHER PROPERTIES INVOLVED,
Including Hot Springs Rssort--Doc-
uments We're Executed in Favor
OF Clarence Curtis.

What may turn out to be an import
ant mining deal for Beaver county,
was consummated yesterday afternoon
at Milford. All the mining interests
OF T. y. McKeon In that country were
involved In the transac lion. including
the hot springs. located In the foothills
of the Granite range of mountains
about 10 miles north Of Milford and
upon which Mr.. McKeon spent a small
fortune In improving the property. with
a view Of making a great health resort
out OF IL.
The documents signed UP yesterday
were executed In favor OF Clarence
Curtis. OF Chicago, and the option is
to run for a period of 80 days. The
amount OF money involved In the trans
action could not be learned, but the
consideration must be large lnasmuch
as the deal includes the Talisman
group OF claims in the Star Mining dis
trict, considered TO be one OF the best
prospective mines In Beaver county,
and from which great deal Of rich ore
was shipped during the early days of
the camp. Other mining claims OF Mr..
McKeon were included In the option.
The hot springs property Is also con-
sidered TO be valuable and could be
made an ideal place for large health
resort. II Is said Mr., McKeon
expended something like $4,000 In
making improvements several years
ago, but 1t never placed II on
the basis where II could be made a
financial success.
Mr., Curtis came up from the south
this forenoon and viii proceed at once
for the east to present the proposition
before his associates, The probabilities
are that the Tallsman will be the scene
Of active operations again soon.
