ANOTHER Big GIL
DEAL IS CLOSED
BY LOCAL PEOPLE
Maysyille Men Join With Lexington
OIL Men In Purchasing Oil Lease
Holds on 1870 Acres of OIL
Land In Allen County.

An oil deal of considerable propor-
tions was closed here today when r.
A. Carr and others, of this city, to-
gether with Thomas M. Owsley and
others, of Lexington, purchased from
the owners oil leases on 130 acres of
land in the heart of the oil land in
Allen county, Kentucky. The deal in
wolves several thousand dollars and
already there are several producing
wells on the property which are said
to be making eight or ten barrels of
oil daily.
With the lease holds also went the
equipment of the concern which had
been prospecting there and the gem
tlemen closing the deal today propose
to organize a company in the very
near future with headquarters in
Maysville and Lexington for the pur-
pose of operating the wells at present
producing and to do prospecting for
other wells on the property.
1t is understood the land upon
which leases are obtained in this deal
is located in the very heart of the best
oil producing section of the state of
Kentucky and the deal today closed
has been under way for several
weeks.
Several local men are interested in
the deal with Mr. Carr and some of
the best known oil men in Lexington

FERRY BOAT may
Be PURCHASED BY
LOCAL COMP ANY
Plans Discussed For Purchase OF the
Maysvllle-Aberdee Ferry From
Captain c. NJ. Phlster-Many
Seem Interested.

It was learned Thursday for the
first time that there is probability
of the Maysville-Aberdeen steam fer
ry changing hands IN the near fu-
ture. Since Captain c. M. Phister has
discontinued the wharf business at
this place, it is understood that he
is considering the sale of the ferry
business and retiring from active
business to his splendid farm at Swan
Greek, Ohio.
1t may be possible that local COM
pany will be organized for the pur-
pose of taking over the ferry business
and the steam ferry boat Lawrance
At least the matter is being. discussed
in the event that Captain Phister puts
the business on the market.
1t has even been suggested that the
city of Maysville might take the busi-
ness over and it is known that this
matter has been discussed among the
city officials but it heardly seems like
ly that the municipality will make the
purchase although they might en-
courage the organization of a local
company of business men who would
purchase the business.

the important fortress of Metz, in
German Lorraine.

months.
The American line is within two or
three miles of the German border.

touches the Lorraine line. The bat
tie front is approximately 15 miles
from Metz.
Metz has been an American objec-
