Oil and Gas Derricks

There is also on this river relic of oil and gas prospectors of earlier days At points known as Calling riv- CT and Pelican Falls there are the remnants of oil derricks, showing wells which were originally drilled for oil, but large quantities of gas only were found.
 These wells were drilled 25 years ago, and the Indian villages around these points are using this gas today for heating and cooking purposes.
 At one of these wells there is a gas flame emitting from the top of the well which has been burning for 25 years continuously day and night, and We understand the pressure is still the same as it was in the early days. This to us is a fragrant disregard of the conservation of natural resources.
 This flame reaches a height of 1b feet above the top of the casing, and creates a roar which can be heard a considerable distance away. lThe foregoing article was writted by F. Hurley of Edmonton. and is reprinted from the Imperial Oil ReView."l

River%Is Quiet Now

The Athabasea river at the present time, not being commercially used to any great extent, is naturally very quiet. as all northern rivers generally are. Solitude and silence are the pre- dominating factors on these northern rivers. The only break in the monot- ony of silence is the occasional sight of a black bear drinking or scaveng- ing for food along the river banks, and the sight of a few moose and oth- CT wild life which inhabit this region. Also occasionally a little white cross identifying the last resting place of some pioneer who has gone to his re- ward, unsung, and practically un- known to those who traverse these regions, except a few of his pals who may still remain and possibly the folks back home who wonder why he did not return.

Who has not heard or read Robert ". Services interesting and graphic account of the Athabasea trail The Athabasea Landing. where the out fitting was done for the hazardous trip farther north by the Athabasca and Mackenzie rivers.
 The history of the Athabasea Trail dates back 15o years; in fact. we be- lieve Mackenzie and Hearne, the great pioneer explorers of the North west were first to find and use this trail to the great river which leads and empties into the Arctic Ocean. In succeeding years 1t was used by the Hudson's Bay Company exclusively as an inlet and outlet for their goods going to and from their trading posts, which were later established on the Athabasca and Mackenzie rivers.
 The trip from Athabasca to Fort McMurray is one of the picturesque scenic beauties of the northwest, but is very seldom visited today, due pos sibly to the advent of modern means of transportation in the shape of the railroad.
 The river is considered one of the most treasherous and at the same time most exciting rivers to navigate, due to the swiftness of it's current and the number of falls and rapids in it's course from Athabaska to Fort Me- Murray, there being l7 formidable rapids to shoot in a distance of 500 miles.
 The writer made this trip accompa- nied by the well known Colonel Jim Cornwall. a man who inhales and breathes the spirit of the north at all times, and who has been connected with the northern rivers for the past 30 years.

Volumes of documents, brought
