Big Sale announced

one Of the largest ana best deals i'm
months has been officially confirmed.
10 wit, the purchase by the oklahoma
Producing y Refining interests of the
Homer Preston property In the Mid
Continent field.
1t marks the conclusion Of one Of
the best planned and ablest executed
deals ever pulled Off here. The prop
critics are In excellent condition and
have been kept 50 under Mr.. Pres
tons able management
There IS a total if 1850 wells with
$500 barrels settled production and
the sale price is between $4,000, 600
and $6,000000. This will give the
oklahoma Producing a. Refining a
tremendous advantage in the way of
daily production when the combine Is
finally brought about and Will give
the new owners much first-cass
acreage for future drilling.
For instance. there is the Monitor
oil Il Gas co. property at stroud with
one gas well shut down I'm the sand
and from which much gas has been
sold during the last six months and
this particular well Is the very best
bet In oklahoma for another Bartles-
vile sand pool If drilled deeper. II
may not OF course materialize as an
pll well but If not II will change the
entire map So far as a prospect of a
pool toward the southwest from the
present Gushing field is concerned.
MIR Preston is now director of the
oklahoma Producing n Refining co.
and will find it much to his liking, the
association with such men as the
Crawford brothers who are the active
heads of the concern.
In addition to this the New York
end Of rho ok hpnn prn1nrtp,
hefiniug is an unusually fortunate
one as Messrs Weeks of Lukcs
Banks & Weeks, and Harvey Gibson
of the Liberty National bank of New
York city are both not only master
financiers but most agreeable gentle
men which of course counts most
with man Of Mr. Preston's disposi-
tion. II makes a mighty good bunch

It is certain that th , companies cannot see their way clear 10 meet the high wages paid Ly the copper and iron mines in the States, hence the departure of miners and their families by the hundte1g for more lucrative fields.
