DEAL IS CLOSED?
TULSAN RUMORED TO HAVE SOLD
TANEHA OIL HOLDING.
Goes TO new YORK CITY
Papers Said To BE Ready for the
Transfer-sigriNcan f'hings
Seen by oil Men.

From all appearances 1t seems that
another deal of great import to the
oil business in Oklahoma has been
brought to a successful termination.
This deal is one which involves an
even million dollars and LOO acres
of proven territory in the Taneha
district.
This deal has been pending between
Charles Page owner Of the holdings
and a New York syndicate with which
he has been negotiating for several
weeks. Yesterday Mr.. Page received
a telegram from New York parties
and he left last night, evidently to
close the deal.
There Is nothing absolutely certain
that the deal has been closed or Will
be closed but from what IL known II
seems certain. Billy Graham, inter
ested In the California, oklahoma and
Louisiana fields, who has been acting
as CLOSER" for the Tulsan and the
New Workers when IN Tulsa few
days expressed himself as certain that
the deal would be closed.
with the statement Of Graham and
the trip to New York city on the
part of Mr. Page, the rumor that the
deal has been brought to successful
close seems to be well founded.
According to statements made by
Mr. Page some days ago, he had been
offered a million dollars for his Tan
cha holdings and he signified his will
llngness to sell for that price. He is
known to have gotten his papers In
shape ready for the transfer, but ac-
cordng TO the information he has
never received any money consider
alton.
The Taneha field which embraces
100 acres, has on II wells which
produce In thenelghborhood of 1000
barrels daily. A large part Of the
field has never been touched.
It is understood that the New York
syndicate which is made up Of bank
Iers and capitalists of the greatest
city on the Western Hemisphere, Will
Immediately develop their holdings ia
the fullest extent and will operate
their own refinery.
Oil men see two things significant
about the pending deal. one Is that II
thenew syndicate operates Its own re-
finery they will also furnish mar
ket for other oil. However, Of much
greater significance is the interesting
of New York capital in the oklahoma
field. The greater part of the Ok
lahoma field, 1t is said, has been de-
veloped by Pennsylvania capital.
In New York City according to au-
thentlcated reports, money Is goina
begging for investment. A few New
York syndicates operating In this
field will mean that more will come
Millions OF New York capital going
begging-the Oklahoma oil field bare
ly "scratched"-the money will come
this way, and Oklahoma, as well a'
Tulsa, will take vast leaps forward ir
commercial standing.

That the question OF the Sunday

According 70 the statements made
yesterday. something like $4,000 per

800 call at the windows on Sunday
to receive mail It Is also asserted
that a large number Of these call for

said. will In no wise interfere with the
