The negotiations are between the South Fenn O.t company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company. and the Big creek ueveiopraent company which has extensive oil and gas holdings in Lincoln and adjacent counties. It is claimed that the deal which has been practically closed will result in the early taking over ot' the property of the B:g Cieek Development company by the South Penn at a figure which is said to be close to $3,000,000. The field has been under development by the Big Creek Development company for about twelve years, having produced tremendously in the past, and is saiu to be still very rich. The remaining total is estimated at from four to five hundred producing oil wells, besides a number of producing gas wells, although the company has not turned its attention to the development of the gas territory included in its holdings.
