WHERE SAND is ACTUALLY

Up in the Great Athabaska country,
$50 miles north of Edmonton, Alberta
lie the tar sands, or burning sands"

for fuel. 1t burns fiercely, with a
strong, smokey flame and drops an
ash of the purest sand 1t also serves
to gum their birch bark canoes.

this tar sand flows the "bituminous
fountains" of which the famous ex-
plorer Mackenzie has written.
The tar sand is composed of san
stone grit, cemented with bitumen or
gummed petroleum, according to a
writer in the Illustrated World. In
places the sand presents a surface like
hardened asphalt, in others it forms
a plastic mass, and in still others the
crude petroleum actually flows out
of the sand. On the average the sand
by analysis, contains approximately
Is per cent bitumen, per cent. water
and 81 per cent. sand.
Regarding the occurrence of these
huge deposits of only bituminous or
tarry substances along the Athea-
baska river, r. G. Mcconnell, B. A., OF
the Canadian Geological Survey re-
ports that, at several points, Cascade
rapid being one, the sand is so satur-
ated that pure tar oozes out and runs
down the river bank.
At first this tar sand was considered
valuable commercially as a substitute
for asphalt, for road building, roofing
insulation and the like, then it was
considered for fuel when pressed into
briquettes.
