TWO MILLIONS
FOR OIL LEASE
Big Deal For West Virginia
Territory Makes Stand

The Marietta Register-Leader has
the following account of a big tram
action In West Virginia oil land:
1T is underr'cod here tsat a SO.
100000 OIL deal, in which the Stan
dard OIL Company becomes the own
er or one of the finest pieces of oil
property in the country, and which
several Marietta men had on tho
market for sale during the past few
months, has been closed. Oh me-,
throughout this section of the conn
try will be interested.
THE property involved is that of
the Ohio Valley Realty Companv.
formerly Ferguson & Company and
10 located at Holiday Gap. West viz
ginia, just across the river from
Steubenville. Ferguson and Gonna
ny had a lease of about 1900 acras
In that section and the companv
placed it's lease in the hands of n
least three different Marietta men,
who were to try to sell it.
The lease then had a production
OF about 1900 barrels per day. B,t
the owners wanted $1,000 per bar
rel for 1t at that time, and no one
VINO is familiar with the oil propert .
ana conditions would pay that
amount. The company then consol-
ldated with the Ohio Valley Realty
Company, which had five or six HIM
dred acres and considerable produo-
ton and now it is reported that thew
nave succeeded in getting the Stand
ard to take it at $1,000 per barrel
Local oil men who knew som =
thing of the immensely of the PROC
erty are of the opinion that this
deal might have been the cause of
the drop in the price of oil. Tue =
