Representative Francis T. Hall re-
turned yesterday from Beaumont, Tex,
where he has been looking over the oil
situation. Mr.. Hall has lease on some
oil land, but he was driven out for the
summer by the approach of fever.
The original boom is over, said MI
Hall The tide of reckless specula-
ton has reached its height and every
thing is on a more conservative basis.
For awhile these people bought every
thing in sight bHndly, paying fancy
prices without even looking TO see If
the titles were good Now they are IN
Vestigating more carefully, and as a
result there is a large amount of 1ti-
cation.
THE oil field is unquestionably the
greatest vet discovered. a well of COM
paratively small output viii produce
10000 barrels day. A person can
scarcely realize what that means un-
less he stops to think how much q 900
barrels would make stretched out III a
row. The crude oil is worth 30 cents a
barrel making the output Tor single
day worth $1,000. Some of the guSherS
produce 100000 barrels
The great trouble there now IS the
, lack of sufficient facilities for handling
the oil and putting it on the market
This requires considerable capital, as
it means the building Of reservoirs,
pipe lines, docks and other things. 1t
/ takes capital to begin with to put down
! a well. and the result may be a dry
hole, and then again it may be q, well
/ that is worth 81 100000.
