Oil prospectors near Pitt Lake eye rich strike
A new company is assembling drilling machinery on land at Pitt Lake head, testing prospects staked there. An expert from the Paterson well at Sturgeon Slough says the strata show strong potential with a strike possible at two hundred feet if properly worked. Water problems are less severe than in Paterson’s district, but casing depth and commercial viability remain uncertain. Nearby residents report native gold finds north of the lake, though details are scarce due to secrecy among prospectors.
