Resource? xT tho Company
, . t The existence of petroleunl in this field has beenlcnon'!or '
many years and was admirably described by the late Dr. Selwuv
the famous Canadian geologist, in, his report to-the geological
department of Canada in 1991 To the day of his death he main
tained that here was onjj of the greatest oil fields of the' world.
The capital of the company is small, its assets are very large
'consisting of 18 square miles of 'carefully selected lands in this
rich oil territory, 12 sections lying dose to the now producing
wells of Alberta, the remaining six sections being selected in the
immediate vicinity of other companies about to commence active
; boring operations, thus it will readily be seen that any lands de-,
veloped in this field will benefit this company. ' - s 1 --'

' This oil being of a paraffin base is very valuable, and is of a
grade superior to any except the finest of the Pennsylvania oils.
What ia more intelligible to investors is that while the average
price of California crude oils range from 15 to 25 cents a barrel,
the oil from this field is worth on the average over L25 a barrel.
Government, , Donas ; f
The Dominion Government gives a bounty of lyi cents per
gallon on all crude oil produced m the Dominion.
THERE. IS AN OIL DOOM COMING ! , :
We are safe in predicting that in a few months the spirit of speculation will be' in
flamed. It Twill be" OIL! OIL 1 "everywhere. !Mohey win begin to flow in from
every . channeL Representatives of capital will begin to arrive in swarms. Hotels win
be overcrowded. Workingmen. will be eagerly sought . at any price. THE OIL
FIELDS WILL BE ON A BOOM. Everything will begin' to move and the OIL
CAMP WILL BE ALIVE WITH INDUSTRY. IT HAS STARTED NOW. It
will outrival the riches of the Klondike. The Klondike during the first year of its de
velopment only sent out a trifle over one minion, yet, when tins became known, streams
of humanity flocked thither.' Yet the; light that lured them on was the glitter of only
a paltry nuuion. : tampare tms witn tne results tnat win be obtained in these "OIL
FIELDS which' are at our very doors. , There is ten times as much moneys in a big
oil well as there is in the best gold mine on earth. The quality of the crude product
found in our fields is surpassed by no other locality in the world. .? . ,
