 We met with coartesies and kindness from all those with whom we came in contact on our jourrey We averaged about 30 miles a day with our dog team. It was one of the best dog teams I have ever own ed, and I have had many.
 "The country is comparatively flat after passing down the Dease river, and mountains can only be seen in the far distance. Game is plentiful and we had no trouble in keeping ourselves supplied with moose meat but there is such a thing as know ing how and 1t takes a lifetime to learn about the wilds and how to get the best of it.
 q must mention that in getting our samples we could not help get ting clay and other foreign matter mixed with it. When 1 washed che shovel that I had been digging with the surface of the water became i'm mediately covered with an oily sub- stance resembling the colors of the rainbow. In places the gravel appears to be soaked with the oil, but not enough to get it up without taking up the dirt as well.
 The colors and consistency of tbe oil varies at different spots, some being thin and light colored, and in other places dark and heavy-that is very thick from greenish black to dark brown. It seeps out along the foot of the bank at short distance apart as far as we could see where the snow is off The rock formation is of a shaley character from a gray to blue-gray color.
 We did not prospect for gold, but there were many places I should have liked to try, but our time and supplies were limited and it was hard ly the season for that kind of work, as everything was still frozen up. With proper exploration there is no doubt that this great northland will yet reveal wealth that will be a sur. prise to the world. It is not too diff. cult Of access, there being down. stream waterway from Dease Lake in- 10 the very heart of the Liard country with few short portages.

 covered in the CGssiar country $ he contention of T. E Hankin of Tele- graph Cr@e~, Wi;o reEGntly "et.r2:;, to ttat place af!e" trip of several r.orths visiting outlaying districts in the CassiAr. Tn a letter to J. w.. Pritchett. editor of the Wr2ngcn Sen tinel, the locatiO" of the find is made and samples of tEe oil sent
 The letter ceiling of the discovery follows:
 Dick Inkster and myself have re. gently returned from a prospecting trip to the north, where we went to explore for oil We brought back q number of samples, and I am sending you some of 1t.
 We left here in February and got back fn April. Travelling in all little over 700 miles by dog team. We were in the Liard river country. The place where we got our samples is at the foot of river. There is a ridge of sandstone along the river, which the Indians told us had been burning for years. There is plenty of evidence that this ridge of rock had been subjected to great heat as it is baked red, but the fire has died out. A heavy slide of clay and gravel occurred behind this burning rock which apparently interfered with the fuel supply tat kept the fire going in the rocks and it went out. It is now burning behind this ridge in the clay and gravel, but in much less degree There is also a very strong smell of gas at tho place and when the ai.' is still, the whole atmosphere is impregnated with it for some distance around in fact, it made us sick when we stayed too long. We took sampels from different spots for a dis tance of about half mile. No doubt if we were there in summer inc we would have had better op- portunity to get samples. AS it was, we had to get them where the snow was off.
 "On our return trip we came across a white man who lives in that far northern wilderness with his young daughter. They were on their way up to the Hudson's Bay Post for supplies and expected to return by canoe when tte river opened. The man informed US that if he had known that my cue was in that country he would have brought samples of oil from his place 30 miles further down the river. He said that oil could be seen float ing on the surface of the water dur ing the summer months, and that gas bubbles were continually forming on the wates. There are also hot springs there, and he grows potatoes and other vegetables with great success
 We also came across some Indians, or rather they come across us. They saw our tracks and followed us, tell ing us later that they knew our tracks were not made by Indians. They stay cd with us and more turned up later till we had a regular caravan of dog teams with many bells and gaily dec- crated harness and sleighs in all colo.s of the rainbow. They carried very little camp equipment and very scanty rations of dried moose meat. They put up with all the discomforts attendant upon such a life with Q cheerfulness that was surprising. We found them, friendly and anxious to assist us in any way they could. We had to hold schosl every night as'
