Calgary, Oct. 29.-0ne thous
gallons 8JI1 hour ie the productio
ot the first well brought ix:. ln the
Fort Norman district, and the Imperial Oil Company is preparing
to punch a district 200 miles in
width and nobody knows how long,
full of holes for wells. That these
wlll all be producerjj is the word
brought down from that district by
Alf. Patrick, who drilled the first
well which has excited so much
curiosity in the oil world.
The location of this first well is
right on the. bank of the Mackenzie
River. Speaking of the possibilities
of getting the oil out of the country,
Mr. Patrick is of the opinion that
the northern route will be the . more
feasible, although there are difficulties in that direction in the way of
ra.pids in the Bering Straits, a.nd
also the fact that the river is open
tor only a few months of the year.
Dredging and ice-breakers migh.t
even overcome these obstacles , Ir
his opinion, should the field devel
as he anticipates, it will wa ,
such procedure.

Useful Report From

\
In a report submitted to the Minister of Mines by M. Y. Williams,
geologist, upon the possibility of
finding oil deposits in the Hudson
and James Bay districts of Northern Ontario, and which has now
been made public by the Minister it
is pointed out that there are m~ny
conditions present which would indicate that there should be netroleum deposits in that part of the\
province.
Mr. Williams recently
made a detailed tour of the district, .1
studied the surface and rock forma~ions, and reports that the exten-1

the Hudson and James Bays contains formations of the same age J

~ his investigations M~. Wil-1
hams was unable to find any surface seepage of oil, but he explains 1
that this is not to be wondered at
?wing to the long period of weather11~g along the rn•ers which may have
d1ss1pated any oil formerly present
and owing to the heavy burden of
clay, silt and muskeg moss which
covers the interstream areas. Along
the N_elson, Chu~hill, Albany, Moose
and 1ntervenmg rivers, he reports,
there are formations where one
might expect to find oil if boring
•.·ould be carried out. Whether or
not t_he lower construction of the
roclc _is such_ t.hat oil would accumulate 111 sufficient quantity to make
lt pay to _develop the district is a
ma'.ter which could be determined
mly by actual experiment and boring ·
Mr. Wi~liams adds that in th~
region dra111ed by the Moose River
and its tributaries there are liine-·
stone a.nd Salina shales, beneath
which. 111 other districts, dolomitic
beds of this formation have produced large quantities of oil in parts
of Southwestern Ontario, chiefly in,
Kent and Es~ex Counties. He adds 1
that the particular limestone which
has _been the most uniformly productive formation for oil in South- I
western Ontario outcrops at the surf~ce over wide areas. Shales out- \
?i O? on the Mattagami River, and
it 1s reported that there are evidences that the whole Ohio shale
sect10n may be present in the North. ,
Along the Abitibi River there are
shales dipping at the proper angle
to form oil beds beneath.
The
shales vary 111 quality and thickness
and tests have brought out the fact
that they also vary_ tonsiderably in
oil content. Analysis of shale sam
pies taken from the Long Rapid dif

80 "7o WASTE IN USE OF
NATUR~L
GAS
What the United S.tates are doing
in the matter of natural gas consump- •
tion, and which will be of much rinterest to local consmners.
Washington, Jan. 5.-A Public ~!onÂ
ference of governors, public util1ity
commissioners, state geologiists, ho1.ue
economic expe11ts, natural gas com'. •
panics, owners and officials and ap pliance manufacturers has been call[ ed by Secretary of the Interior Lane
to meet under the auspicies of tile Bu
! reau of mines at the Intenior Depal'tment Building, Washington, Jan. 15,
to discuss the was·t e of natural gas
·in this country both by consumers
and gas compani·es. As a result of
work of the experts of the bureau on
this question it is declared 'that in
using natural gas the consumers
through faulty appliance.;; obtain an
cffic,iency of about 13% from a gas
cook stove, 25'/, from a house heat- 1 •
, ing furnace and 10'/r from a hot- l
water heater. although in good prac- I
tice these efficiencies can be trebled.
In a statement as to purpose of
, the conferences Dr. Van H. Manning
1 director of the Bureau of Mines, said:
"Domestic consumers waste mot'e than
80% of the gas re<.~ived. The efficiency of most cooking and heating
appliancea could be •trebled. By n'ak_
I ing natural gas worth saving the 2,1 400.000
domestic consumers in the
United States could get the same cook 1\ '

foot '"oT gas do the work of three and

"It is time for the publoic to tak
