MONT OIL PRODUCERS.
Captain Lucas Says It Is the Proper
Way to Evidence the Stability
OF the SunnlV.

Galveston, Texas, April 30.-Captain A.
f. Lucas, the discovercr of the first oil
gusher Mt Beaumont, spent the day In the
city and left for his home again tonight
He said that his visit here was simply
for change and rest. Speaking of his
plans for the future, he said that 1t was
the intention to accumulate supply of
oil in order to create a market for IT,
Very little of 1t has so far been placed on
the market The larger concerns exhibit
reluctance to take advantage of the oil
for fuel until they can be assured mat
there is sufficient supply of 1t. Captain
Lucas states that S1,00o,0o0 worth of tanks,
pipes and cars have been purchased to
accommodate product of the oil wells.
Preparations are in- progress for develop
ing the holdings of the company In Hai-
rls and In Liberty coun;iS aud the work
Will be commenced Just ms soon as the
necessary men and rigs can be securerd
There Is difficulty, however, In obtain
Ing rigs and Captain Lucas does not know
how long it viii be before things will be
in readiness to begin.
