GAS DEVELOPMENT- ! The first discovery or natural gas in the Province of Alberta of which we have record, tools place in May, 1884, at Alderson, a station on the main line of the C.P.A., 33 utiles west, of Medicine Hat. The railway con- atructon gang, boring for water, struck a heavy pocket 'of gas at a depth of 1,300 feet. A little later in the same year, gas was also discover- ed at Casella, 0 miles further west, hitt while this well !soon choked, that at Aldereon continued to flow for many years. In 1850, Medicine fiat, then but a email town, sank a well and found a small supply at 700 feet; four years later another attempt was made, and history tells how at the eleventh hour, with money all spent—facing' • bankruptcy—and despair and gloom in the hearts of the mayor and eity council, a sensational flow was un- covered at a depth of twelve to thir-, teen hundred feet. The cheap, ap- parently unlimited fuel supply, both tor commercialand donucstic, pur poses, is largely accountable fur that cit; to growth and present pl'eapersus condition. There ere severalknown via fields In the Province of Alberta. but as yet only two have been utilized fob com- mercial purposes to any considerable extent; namely, thep:Medicine I3at and. tow Island Fields. Bow Island lies on the railway line about half way between Meditcne Hat and -'Lech•. .bridge, 180 amiles south-east of Cal- g'ary, In 1912 the supply was piped into the city of Calgary, as well as dis- tributed en route to the city. of Leth- bridge, Macleod and ether towns, where It i -s • used for both domegtie • and commercial purposes, In the neighborhood of Pelltcan Rapids, Athabasca River, gas springs 'ceei'e hnaWi3 at least a century ago, and travellers going up and down the Hirer, into the Peace River Country have cooked their'meals there. Fur- ther well-known gas reserves are the es. Foremost Field, south of Bow Island, the Barnwell Field, midway between Bow Island and Lethbridge and the ' Viking Field, 83 miles east of Ddmon- Aou, and were it not for the difficulty of obtaining adequate piping, it is probable that this supply would have been utilized two or three ycare ago to runlet light, heat and power to Alberta's capital. ng on in the w, WOOD'S...PHOSPHODiN�r: The Great English Preparalmn.
