Special to Daily Leader.


Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 23.-Cklahoma Oil
men are much interested in the pur-
chase of independent oil properties in
Oklahoma by a French syndicate. 7.
NJ. Barnsdall is going to sell his oil
lar Dis in The state to a French syndi-
cate The same syndicate has taken
options on forty thousand acres of oil
land through r. NJ. Robinson, a broker
of Okmugee
Barnsdall is leaving soon for Paris
to compete his deal. The price he IS
to receive is Is million dollars, it is
said Until the sale was arranged
Balnsdall's property was being oper-
ated by the Standard Oil company,
which had million dollar mort
sage on the land. A short time after
Barnsdall succeeded in having the
mortgage hfted a new we was struck
which increased the output Of his
property to about twelve thousand
barrels daily
Experts were sent to Oklahoma by
the French capitalists before arrange
ments were made for the purchase OF
the Barnsdall property. One of these
men was a Dutch scieEtist, and after
completing his work for the French
capitalists he obtained options on fer
ty thousand acres through Robinson
for Dutch syndicate. This land has
an output of about six thousand bar
rels a day. Shortly after the Dutch
expert returned to Europe he turned
over the Robinscir options to the
French syndicate. At present the out.
put OF all the French holdings Is about
eighteen thousand barrels daily which
could be considerably increased by
developing the properties.
Some of the oil men here believe
that the purchase Of these independ-
ent properties by the French syfdi-
cate is merely ruse 10 cover their
transfer to the Standard. Others are
sure it means that the Standard will
have powerful rival in the foreign
corporation, and talk of The posi-
bilities of a rival pipe line to the Gulf
OF Mexico.
