Tbe largest lumber deal that bas le a completed in thii section of the country ror many years aud proliably for all time, sava the Connellsville Courier, waa con summated a few days ago by H. C. Has- ton,tbe well-known lumler dealer of tbi-t place, and eastern capitalists and brm. embracing the Pbil-deiphia ttl Compnry aud other xncerns of prominence. The l1 v.onir.l an inestimable amount of hard work aud careful investigation, cause of the mixit-g of interciU in tracts transferred, embracing in all almost I'.UO a.-TM if the tiuest timVr lati.l iu tbe country. .Huston's purchases are in two tracts. Tbe largest and ro.sst valuable is kiow n as the Pea Vine Flat. This lies on eist side of the Youghigheny river, the vicinity of Iudlan creek aad on is ttie finest w hit oak timler in the Uni ii iusl States. The second sectk n of tbe tract on the cast bauk or tbe Yough- iogheny river embraces w bat is know n as the P.iT.lsr Hollow tract, containing a'-res, and ibe third section embraces tbe 1 :!' tract or 2.i" acres. In the w hole tr t on tbe cast side of tbe river there are acres. On the w est side of tbe Youghiogbei j riier Huston rurchasotl L13." acres. The timber on this tract is almost identical with that on the east side of the stream. principally white oak, red oak, walnut and poplar. The white oak is 'sed prin cipally in trestle and car building, and tbe red oak and poplar go to tbe eastern market- In addition to the two tracts in the vicinity of Indian creek Huston pur chased tbe plants and lands of tbe Mark letoo Lumber Company, one of the large mountain concerns. Tbe tract of timber there embrace 4,000 acres, and is covered ita timber such as is on tbe Indian creek lands, though probably not quite so vain able. On tbe Markletoa tract there U a railroad seven miles long and two f.ne eaw mills. A locomotive and cars go ith this purchase. This tract adjoins the Piukertoa tract of Hast.n, which in elude 5,0 acres, and which has also two mills, a steam locomotive aad 1 J miles of railroad. The third tract purchase! by Huston - 1 .M ... m em traces a large piece oi isuu FrieudavHle, Md., on which are tbe finest spruce trees to be found in tbe Alieghe- nies. In this deal 2,2 acres are invnlr ed, making the total new lands acquired bv Huston S.405 acre. Added to tbe h,k acres at Pinkerton, tbe 4i0 acres which Huston owns at Norris crowaing, tbe lands and mill at Obiopyle, which ara being worked, tbe ft.resu and plants employ 350 men. Tbe season is particularly active at this time, the many bridges under oon strucuou, aud tbe active building opera tions in all parts or the country furnish ineTeay market for all good lumber. There are some acre worked off in tbe tract at Pinkerton and at Obiopyle and Norris Siding, but tbe tract at Indian creek is particularly untouched by the woodman's axe. The tendency is for lumber to increase in price as time goea by, and it will not be very long till Penn sylvania, or tbe w estern part at least, wiu have a crying need for timber.
