The Oil Territory of Canada West.

The oil territory Of Canada West lies, in the
form of peninsula, between Lake Huron on
the North and Lake Erie on the South. Ai1
Boutwell,, its present chief centre of at
friction, is about equally distant from Mont
real and Boston, and something like 80 miles
from Detroit. s.---l. ..4
From the report of Sir William E. Logan,
an eminent Canadian geologist, who made a
survey of Canada West several years before
any one began to bore for oil, we learn that
the shale or oil bearing rock covers an area of
six or seven thou sand square miles, equal in
extent to the State Of Massachusetts. This
being so, we may reasonably look for oil, in
some quantity, over all this large area. The
drill alone can tell whether it exists in remu-
nerative abundance Vr otherwise. IelE iI
Sir William told the people of Canada West
in lectures delivered before them, that there
was vast amount of petroleum beneath their
feet, and that the time was coming, when, being
put to many important uses this petroieumn
would become source of vast wealth. He
may then have found a few believers: vet ma.
ny and perhaps most Of those who lis, sned N
his oily story regarded him as a half crazy en-
thu.iast To-day has brought the fulfi,inent
of his prophesy. fiiw s4a 11si7~3 t'-'1-N =
For seventy years petroleum is known to
have been collected In different localities near
Dothwen. The Indians collected and used it
LOT medical purposes, and after them the
whites did the same thing. 1t was brought 10
the States and sold as British oil. Its iiluinin-
mating properties were also known.
The earnest attempt to sink an oil well on
the continent was made in 1850, upon the
Mcmillan farm, near Boutwell,, but the enter
prise was abandoned before the rock was
reached. Soon after IT, is oil wells were sue
| cessf,llv sunk in Pennsylvania. IT, was not
lono before the Canadians commenced opera
III ms in earnest OH Spri es, some eighteen
miles from Dothwell, became the cent.e; but
wells were also put down at Petrolia, about
seven miles from Oil Strings, and at Bothwell.
| An abundance OF oil was obtained; yet the
| Canadians did not find the business ve.y profit
able for there was no market for their oleasi.
| nous harvest. Three years ego an enormous
flowing well was struck at Oil Springs and
thousands of barrels Of oil ran to waste, sim
ply because 1t would not pay for getting to
market In the early summer of last year.
