The Times wishes its readers a
happy and prosperous New Year.

Lower Delaware and upper
Maryland may become the rivals of
the Pennsylvania and Western oil
fields, if reports now being circul-
ated have good foundation. Two
men in different parts of the penin-
sula are boring for oil and tests are
being made. Two men near Del
mar are making prospecting tour
OF the country and receiving expert
opinions from the United States
chemists. They have obtained at
least thirty oil leases upon the
property of farmers and are now
preparing to sink big well, which
they believe will be a "gusher, "
and will open up an entirely new
gas and oil territory in the country.
Men who have spent their lives
in the oil and gas fields of Texas
and Pennsylvania have been at
work in the section. A small pipe
was was sunk, and from it flowed
a stream of gas many feet in
height: The men are certain that
they have not struck marsh gas, as
is sometimes the case. The con
dltions are reported as being the
same as those which surrounded
Beaumont, Texas, the center of the
great south western oil district.
Another well is to be sunk near
Milford. Frank Greece, a con-
tractor, has bought outright 1000
acres of land near Milford and has
100 Italians on the ground prepar-
ing to sink a we'll. Different
attempts have been made to dis
cover oil, which was thought to
exist III lower Delaware, but have
never resulted in returns. Now,
however. men familiar with the
situation are confident that there
IS oil and are backing their theories
with thousands of dollars.-Middle-

ORANGE GROVE AT
GRAFTON CHANGES
HANDS AT $4,000

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. Civ. w.
Bean has disposed of his orange grove
property at Grafton to another resident
of the same section, I, e. Mills. The
price received by Bean is approximately
S40 1000 The tract sold consists of thir-
ty-five and a fraction acres.
The Bean grove has long been ratei
as one of the finest in this section. 1t
consists of twenty acres of old trees,
eight acres of young valencias about to
come into bearing. five acres of young
navels, and the balance of the ground
set to nursery stock. There are also
some buildings on the place, which was
occupied as a home by Bean and fam
lily.
The property is also conspicuous for
the excellence of the water right it
carries. An abundance of zanja wa
ter goes with the land, and the water
right Is Justly considered one of the
best in the whole valley. The price
paid for the property. therefore, is not
a high one, especially in comparison
with some other groves recently sold
in this vicinity.
