CANADA's PRODUCTION.

The oil production OF the Canadian
fields In 1914 showed another decline
from tho previous years output This
decrease has been notable each year
since 1907. In 1914 the production
was 2l2, 495 barrels, decline OF near
ly 1900 barrels from the report for
1913. In 1907 the production was
7SS,S72 barrels. 80 that the amount
obtained in 1914 was almost three
fourths less than seven years before
These figures are In imperial gallons
which would make the amount In
standard barrels OF the United States
trlfs more, but the comparison be-
tween the years remains the same and
shows the large decrease in the pc
trOleum output Of the Canadian fields.
The feature so noticeable In con-
nectiOn with the production ana de-
cline OF previous years Is again evil
dent in the 1914 figures. The newer
fields Of Dutton, Onondaga and TIL
bury are declining at a rapid rate,
Dutton dropping off over 30 per cent,
Onondaga practically 40 per cent and
Tlbury over 26 per cent. on the
other hand the Lambton field, after
some 55 years Of production, has fal-
len Off only one per cent, and Both
we'll in similar slight degree. The
difference Is due partly to tho differ
once in the oil producing formations
and partly to the very economical
methods Of operation in vogue in the
older fields, where scarcely drop OF
oil is wasted and where wells whose
daily production Is only few gallons
are operated at a profit.
This total production OF 2l2,49b
barrels and 81 gallons for the various
Ontario fields represents practically
the entire crude petroleum production
of tho Dominion OF Canada. Figures
are not available to show the pro-
duction Of the Albert county field In
I New Brunswick, but, judging from
the fact that the production in 1913
was only 2,111 barrels, which in
volved a decline from the previous
year, 1t Is reasonable to regard un-
official estimates Of 1000 barrels as
approximately correct To TINS may
be added the nominal production OF
| the Dingman oil well near Calgary
| and OF the old Lincoln well at PincheL
| Creek, Alberta, and Of the Flathead
! field in British Columbia, ana the
/ total figures for the entire Dominion
will not run much above 2l5,OOO par
Irels, or less than 900 barrels a day

NC-MAN PRODUCTION NOW IS
MORE THAN $4,000 BARRELS.
This Amount Could BE Doubled in 10
Days Drilling, Says Mr.. Chapman.

The production OF the Mc-Man OIL
company, according to Saturdays re-
tort. was 46.7S0 barrels a day.
II we had lines and tanks enough
to care for our oil, said Mr.. Chapman
Yesterday, I'VE could double the daily
production in 10 days drilling. we
are working all the men We can get
on tanks, and are ordering all the tank
cars we can obtain.
Thursday was a good average day
for the amount OF oil We are daily
handling. on that day we shipped,
stored and ran 40, barrels-our en-
tire capacity. We just received a re-
port from the field that the first well
drilled on the Vance lease. which Is
S2O acres in the Cushing north end. is
making more than 5000 barrels day,
and the Mollie Jones No. is reported
to be making more than 5000. which

fully from more than so reels taken
under the personal supervision of
this we'll known author, lecturer and
sportsman. In assembling this series
of pictures to be shown here, Mr..
Salisbury has chosen only those por-
tons OF the results of three years
work along the Pacific coast from
Alaska to the Mexican border that
have occurred to him as having an
appeal to all who love life in the
open, and who enjoy real adventure.
In other words, Pictures with a
Punch No phase of wild life has
yet been produced that will surpass
this astonishing series of films.
From the thrilling episodes showing
the capture alive OF great mountain
lions, bear and lynx, to the visits to
the breeding grounds of our migra-
tory fowl and the catching of record
weight trout with a light rod, no
phase of active sport has been over
looked. Among the remarkable ad-
ventures of the party, perfectly pho
tographed by the camera men, and
given to the screen with astonishing
yividness, is one showing the cap
ture of huge mountain lion In an

last stand in a tree, some of the
branches of which overhung a braWl-
ing stream. A half-breed Indian,
member of the party, undertook 10
climb the tree and dislodge the lion
by poking him off the limb to the
ground, where the men were ready
to effect his capture with ropes.
Armed with his lasso and a pole, the
man climbed the tree, but the an
imal was not SO easy to be dislodged.
He finally elm led to the extreme
end 'of the limb overhanging the
stream, and finding it imp) iible TO
either rope the lion or dlslodga him
with a pole. the hunter lowered his
rope to the ground and called for
an axe. This he hauled up and then
chopped the limb, hurting the lion
into the icy waters of the rushing
stream below After an exciting
struggle, every movement of which
is wildly depicted by the camera,
the animal is finally roped and con-
veyed to the nearest railroad sta
tion. He is now life resident of a
western zoo, living testimonial to
the yeracity of this pictorial narra-
tive. A popular scale of prices will
prevail.
