In the Province of Ontario,  principally in the vicinity of  Enniskillen; a territory'of limited extent' but of great productiveness has been under development'for the.last thirty years.  In the United States the devel:  opmenlof oil territory has acquired a< habit that has become,  well defined and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd repeatedly exemplified during the\" past thirty  years.- Tho'striking of \"oil, is  the signal for a grand \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd rush, and  a speculative, floating population  invades the 'place, after' a time'  the-speculative phase is succeeded by that- of ^settled development.      ,        ., ,  One of the various resources  of the Port' Steele clistri'ct <\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd that  will bev developed in the .near  future;\/is the petroleum found in  the Flathead valley' in the south  eastern portion of this district.'  This is a section of country but  little  known,   and  is separated  from \"the remainder of the  district by a range of high  mountains.'  During the past three mouths  over thirty , applications have  been made to the' .Provincial  Government for licenses to prospect for oil in this vicinity, and  it is reported that a- large company has been formed'in Vancouver for the purpose of pros:  peeling and development of these  oil lauds. The only question is  whether or not -'numerous seep  ages have allowed tho gas to  escape in too great'an extent^ to  form gushers. There can be' no  doubt as to the presence of high  grade oil in'large quantities  }  There are several mining propositions near Port Steele, and  a few other enterprises which  will make this town a lively one  this year, if they are carried  out.

The  Sullivan   will   start   up    about  February    1st,     and - the    St.  Eugene1 mine  and concentrator  is ready to resume operations as  soon    as    conditions    warrant.  There is no doubt but that the  Estella      and     Tiger-Poorman  group of mines will be added   to  the  shipping list this year, and  we can look forward for a still  larger production this year than  that of 1900.  * +   *  The erection of a smelter in  the district will cause the opening.up of a new industry to the  district, the production of copper  * *    *  The opening up of placer  areas, on Perry, \"Weaver, Moyie  and Wild Horse creeks will  largely help to swell the valuation of the metal production of  the district. With an increased  production in coal and coke, the  big silver-lead' mines working  with a full force and constantly  increasing output, new.shipping  mines, a number of copper pro-  parties shipping. The production of. South East Kootenay  should reach' a valuation of between   four    and     five     million  dollars.
