great Importance to that section. 1t is
understood that the Fitzpatrick broth
ers, owners of a large tract of ground
near Cambria, have succeeded in dis
posing of the majority of their old

who expect to proceed at once with
much more extensive development If

ceeds %. 900, 900 and that the new own
ers who a.e supplied with ample funds,
are dssoclaeaa with the Oil
company. The ground has always been
used as a coal producing field until
quite recently When a good flow of Oil
was encountered n strong indications
that with proper development the sec
ton could be made an oil field of large
proportions.
