Macpherson and J. J. Chick, of Calgary, Alberta, are visitors to town at present, and express the greatest enâ€" thusiasm in regard to the famous Turâ€" ner Valley oil fields of the West. Mr. Macpherson, who was a resident of Timmins for many years in its earlier days, being first on the office staff at the Hollinger and later tax collector and assessor for the town, and who has not seen the town since 1931, reâ€" marke@ on the phenomenal growth of ‘Timmins in the last few years. He says it rivals the Alberta oil area where three towns of about 3,000 each have been established in thriving way in the past three years from the oil industry. @In the Southern Turner Valley, Alâ€" berta, he says, 79 crude oil wells have teen brought into .operaticn since 1936. There are 40 wells drilling now. There is also the possibility of a twelveâ€"inch pipe line being built from Alberta to Port Arthur and Fort William at a cost of $32,000,000, Mr. Chick told The Adâ€" vance, adding that the $32,000,000 was ready for this purpose, being offered by Eastern capitalists who saw a creat patriotic purpose as well as a prcofitâ€" wonture in bringing the Alberta oil to Northwestern Ontario. The oil wells in Alberta have already resulted in the additicn of sixteen new milllonaires to the population of Alberta. The proâ€" duction in 1937 was 2,000,000 barrels, while in 1938 it was. 7,000,000 barrels, and this year will see the 1938 record exceed2d.

The average depth of an oil well, Mr. Chick explained, was. approximately 7,500 feet, and cost approximately $175,â€" 000. The two enthusiasts agreed that an average Alberta oil well has approxtâ€" mately â€" $3,000,000 worth of oil in it. So far the fieki, they say, has made a world‘s record â€"â€" there hasn‘t been a single dud. Messrs Macpherson and Chick have their own oil well, now finâ€" anced and drilling in progress.

One despatch from Capreol says that an untapped source of gold may be developed in that district, if present stakes for placer gold justify the hopers now held by their owners. C. C. Schreiâ€" ber, of Kirkland Lake, is quoted as sayâ€" ing that 6,000 to 7,000 acres have been staked in the Capreol district by prosâ€" pestive miners; Samples have been valued by assay offices at from 60 cents to $2.10 a yard, accoraing to Mr. Schreiber. This is about double the value of the Matheson sand claims. ed at â€"least one season, and, perhaps, two on the placer gold in the plains near Matheson. He said that he ‘teâ€" covered gold enough to make wages, but that was about all. The need for water and the quantity of sand that had t.o be "panned" to recover a small quant.ity of.gold was what deterred him from carrying on his plans. His idea was that if considerable money were to be spent for slice boxes, and if other equipment were bouzht on a large scale it might ‘be possiblé to make placer mining pay on the Matheson sand plains. While logic would suggest the presence of gold in streams and sand plains in the North, the facts do not live up to exptctations. Just as there were many who hoped that placer mining should prove profitable in this North, so there are many toâ€"day who hold high hopes for the placer fields near Capreol, n ip xA e uyc 134 """" boom in that area in the spring. Wi all the the gold in the North there has been practically no placer mining the commercial gold being in hard rock. ‘There is known tobe gold in the Math- eson sand plains, but it is not so cerâ€" tain that it is there in commercial quantities. Several years ago attempts were made to recover this placer gold, but the result was not very spectacular Placer gold mining_has been called "poor man‘s mining," but the Matheson sand plains.did not prove much of .a poor man‘s field, as one of the reasons for dropping the work was that it would cost too much for the necessary equipment to. make this form of gold recovery pay.
