STEINHART Two Experts Say It is Not Soakage Our statement last week that it had been pretty well demonstrated that the coal oil coming into Mr. Karstedt'a well was soakage has to be revised this week. During the past week two experts have examined the well and both believe ic impossible to be soakage aud offer ex- { plauations of how the oil might attain t he grade it has ou coming out of the ground. Ou Thursday last Mr. Morris of the Canadian Oil Company was in town and made a thorough examination of the well and surroundings aod he says that the man who pronounces it soakage "is craiiy." He believes if the well wa» dug down a few feet further the coarser properties of petroleum would' be in evi- dence. He also says there is gasoline in this well but may have evaporated in the sample sent tu Toronto. Ha went into the well but could not rematu there any length of time owing to the gases. He claims that his company has a well at Heapeler that showed exactly the same cundiiions and (jaality of oil u this one. He also says that many of their surface wells at Fetrolea show no more oil th«a is to be found in this well. He was .(uite positive that this was the pure thing. An authority which, pouibly, carties greater weight than the opinion of this gentleman, is Mr. McNeil of the Depart- ment of Mines, Toronto, »ho visited the well on Friday in his official capacity. He made an exhaustive exauiiuation of what oumes uut, and twu descents to the bottom Kave htm the surprise of his life. He described his experience exactly as The Advance man described hia a couple of weeks ago. He said there was no air at the bottom â€" all gases â€" and he was pretty noarly all in before he got uut with the help of a rope. He said the sensation was exactly the same as when he took gaa to have a tunth extracted, aud he felt himself almost losing con- sciousness in the same way. On «merg~ iiig he showed distinct evidence of the ordeal he had (latsed through. He look away with him saniplea of the emulsion of water and oil as it comes out of the ground, also some of the sand at the bottom through which it comes. Mr. McNeil does nut believe it poisiblu that the uil is caused by soakaee. His examination caused him to abandon thai idea as it did Mr. Morris. He al.so gives an explanation of how it would he possi- ble for the oil to come through in its present condition without showing any gasoline or tarry residue. This would be caused, the latter Ihruugh filtration through a gravel bed and thefo:mer through .evaporation from the parent oil after coming iuto the well. The enor- muUH amount of gxs at the hcttoiii of the well would go to prove this theory, yet it is not of an ex(jlosive nature and will even extinguish a flame. The government expt-rt, while believ- ing it is a genuine oil find would nut give a decided opinion until he has consulted a confrere and e.xamiiied the geological record uf ihia st;ciiuii as found in the guvernnient reports. He says he will report on this '.ell in two weeks, and this report is awaited with very great interest by everybody. ^ The Business Man On His Western Trip Cannot afford to leave out the cities that handle the crop, Foit William and P..rt Arthur.
