Beaumont Texas, December iS.-"R the
Beaumont oil field holds out for even only
five years at It's present producing capacity
there is billions in IT,"
This statement was made by man who
is conversant with every step Of the de
yelopment since the beginning. and II hut
voices the sentiments of hundreds OF others
billion dollars is huge pile OF money
but there Is not the least doubt that sew
eral blTfion dollars worth Of oil will he
taken from the field within ave years "
II keeps up 10 IT'S present producing ca
pacity. In fact, one can not dgure on the
producing capacity Of the neid without inc
use Of numbers containing niue or ten iig
ures Twenty thousand barrels per day Is
thought TO he very conservative estimat-
OF what the average well Will do, but the
wells may he figured as low as 1000 barre $
per day and the output for year VIII
still make one dizzy. II would require
gigantic train of tank cars nearly l2,oVo
miles long. or reaching almost half way
around the earth to transport such guam
