Edmonton.—The tar-sands of McMurray, in the northern section of the Canadian province of Alberta, are estimated to hold sufficient heavy oil to supply the British Empire for 100 years. Researches are being made to completely eliminate all sand from this oil which, if mixed with the fine oil produced in the Turner Valley, in the southern section of the province, would result in an oil suitable for the requirements of the British Navy.
