OIL MEN LEASING STARKE COUNTY LANDS

During the past week the Begg’s Oil & Gas Co., of South Bend, has purchased oil and gas privileges from Alois Hulka and Edward Stave, covering 280 acres in sections 10 and 11 in Wayne township. These leases are for five years and cover both gas and oil. They cover five separate descriptions and the consideration is SIOO per year for each description. This company has holdings in Texas and Oklahoma and is a prosperous concern. Operations, if begun at all, will not be started for some time.—Starke County Democrat
