Wiliams, who made _a geological survey last year of the distrtet south ‘of James Bay, stands a fine chance of ‘striking oil in that region.

It will be noted that the phraseology becomes mork hopeâ€" ful as it proceéds. It â€" becomes ‘""warmer,‘‘ as the school phrase used to term it in the hunting game for lost treasure. Ohi0 ‘‘shales,"‘"‘ for instance, sounds quite ‘"hot‘‘ on the trail of oil., These geological reports necessarily have to be more or less technical in their terms, or the geoâ€" logical gentlemen would not be. conâ€" sidered as fully earning their salaries. But reading such terminological terrors the North Land newspapermen may alsoâ€" considered as earning their pay. A partly translated passâ€" age of the geological survey reads as follows:â€"‘‘The Ohio shales, as alâ€" ready desexwbed, outcrop on Mattaâ€" gami River, just north of Speight‘s 1911 jbase line, and on Abitibi River in Long Rapids. â€" The outcropsâ€" along the Mattagami are limited extent, but there is evidence that the outâ€" cropping beds are of Portage age ; and if they are the whole Ohio shale seeâ€" ‘tion may be present.
