AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT

AS to the Beaumont Oil Fields Is Now
Given Out.
Beaumont Texas, May 1J.-Niore discus
sion has arisen here today and 1t will prob
ably be continued. though the statement
as handed out by the oil exchange this

of the field and should be accepted as tho
proper conditions here. Mr.. A. d. Chill

following
The executive committee of the Bean

authori- Secretary \. ID. Childress TO

oil field:

report that the Beaumont gushers had

about as follows:
NO truth in report that all wells on
Gus wells are gushcrs while others use com

instead Of old system of battling New
wells come IN guShers.'
On account of these false rumors being
so rife, published in the papers throughout
the United States, there were exhibitions
given of several gusherS on Tuesday ana
"Wednesday OF last week, the 9th aud 6th

most satisfactorily and the pressure was
tremendous. sending forth II volume of oil
In proportion to the size of the pipes. l
have been reliably Informed by the officers
of the Haywood company that the Hey
wood No has yielded over 100000 bar
rcls of oil and that the well continues 10
flow with strong pressure. There are nu'
merous other wells in the field that have
Yielded vast quantities of oil and are sth.
flowing and are large producers. That there
are wells in the field that use compressed
air to agitate and cause a flow Is not 10 be
