GREAT BRUSHVALLEY SALE, Philadelphia Syndicate Will Take UP 20,000 Acres In Miller Leases. What; is probably the largest single sale of coal thus far recorded in Indiana, county has been made, and payments to the owners of the land may commence this month. The field is known as the Miller leases, being large block of land along Bhiek- lick and Yellow creeks, in Brnshvalloy and surrounding townships. The leases were taken by John W. Miller, who now lives in Indiana, and the purchaser is a syndicate of well known Philadelphia capitalists, consisting of L.

A. and a Mr. Elkius, the head of the traction interests there, and Justice Dean, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Tho Indiana attornies who will abstract the titles and make the payments are Hon. John P.

Blair and David Blair. Already several land owners have received notice that their leases will be taken up and it. is understood that, they will receive the money as soon a.s I he titles are abstracted by the Messrs, Blair. The field at present does not amount to 20,000 acres, but; leasing still continues and before its conclusion it is probable that a solid block of 25,000 acres will bo owned by the Philadelphians. The spur of tho P.

R. li. to be built; from Honuir City trunsvorscs the field, and his land is closely connected with the township field for which the Pennsylvania company is now paying. The two fields arc entirely separate at the present time however, is is asserted, and whether developments will be made or not by the present purchasers is not known. CASH PAYMENTS A.

It is further stated upon good authority that within a few weeks will be placed in one of the local banks for the payments. Cash payments may also be made instead of the usual three payments secured by mortgage, and in every way the closing up of the transaction will be expedited as rapidly as possible. A.s fast, as titles are abstractor! checks will bo given. Most of the land included in the field is not particularly fertile, and many of the farms are mortgaged to what was previously considered their full value. The present sale may therefore be looked upon as ti great boon, iu that it will assist in placing many farmers on their feet after a life time of poorly roimicl effort, of Two Wc.l Siuowii Iinli- aiia fooplo art; Wednesday evening, September 17th, 1902, Rev.
