MANY INQUIRIES
REGARDING OIL
FIELDS OF NORTH

Edmonton. Alta, April 2s.-1n-
creasing interest in the Arctic Oil
fields is manifest throughout Canada
and is evidenced by the receipt OF
more than 1900 inquiries to official
sources in Edmonton alone in the past
strikes, not including many letters and
wires received by Edmonton business
men.
Most of the inquiries relate. to the
method used in reaching the cen Of
the oil operations, while some want
to know about the regulations for
stalking leases, possible costs and gem
eral information.
There Is not a city Of any size in
Canada that is not represented in the
pile Of correspondence asking for in-
formation, and many Of the inquiries
have come from the United. States.
The pile is growing steadily each day
and the Edmonton hotels are filed
with men from Vancouver, Winnipeg.
Montreal, Toronto, Chicago. New
York and other cities seeking infor-
nation personally. s
Fort McMurray, a gateway to the
northern oil fields, presents an I'M
precedented spectacle of feverish in
dustry and activity. according to
Michael Ryan, a member of a north
ern transportation firm, who recently
returned from that place.
Since last fall the little town has
more than doubled its population due
ITO the impetus given northern travel
by finding Of oil and valuable mineral
claims in the territory adjacent to
Fort McMurray and in|the Mackenzie
river country, Ryan declares.
"a business impetus never before
witnessed in the town has been r
ated at Fort McMurray." Ryan de-
clared. "All places of business are
prospecting as never before. Real es.
tate in the town is a live issue, several
lots exchanging hands for $500 and
over"
Fort McMurray, according to Ryan
has five general stores catering to the
needs of the local and travelling pub
lie. The tow, also contains~a drug
store. two barber shops, a pool hal
and a twenty-room hotel. Additional
accommodations for seventy-ive- per-
sons are provided at the head of the
railway, where a bunk house has beer
erected. The spiritual needs of For

churches, Presbyterian and Catholic
and these, Ryan said. are usually wei
