Oil Field Prospects in Southern Alberta Development Plan
A Spokane geologist leads a Northwest group forming a $400,000 company to drill in Southern Alberta. They hold over 10,000 acres of oil and gas leases and plan rapid development, starting with a first well near the Discovery well. Officers include A. H. Featherstone president and M. T. Smith vice president. directors and a Canadian manager are named. The pitch frames oil as the era, urging investors to participate in a grounded, not get-rich-quick, industrial plan with emphasis on drilling over leases.
