FORT NORMAN OIL
Yukon will do well to look
into the possibilities of the
oil strike in the Mackenzie
River valley in th<^ vicinity
of Fort Norman. It may be
that a great traffic in oil and
similar products from that
region will develop in the
near future. If so the busi
ness likely will pass through
Yukon Territory. In that
event Yukon would be ver>
much on the map and as a
consequence of extensive ac
• tivity this territory wouk
receive a tremendous impel
US.
By examining the map it
is seen that Fort Norman i
close to the sixtyfifth de
gree of lattitude or abou
one degree north "of Dawson
The official application fo
a pipe line route for takin;
the oil out of the country sa
that the route will be dow
the Mackenzie thence acror
the divide and down the Po:
eupine, and it is further ar
nounced in press dispatcher
that the plan of the promot
ere is to pipe the oil to the
Bering Sea and from somt
point on the coast ship it
tankers to the world marke;
It is well-known that Bei
i:ig sea is frozen solid mor
than half the year. If the o:
could be piped to a mor
southerly point it would h
Pacific tidewater south c :
the Bering Sea and a po:
where ships can come and g
the year round. For instant
if a route could be found ft
a pipe line to Skagway, i
would have to pass throug
the heart of the Yukon, an
the trend would be a litt)
southerly. Examination oJ
the map shows th^t • ther
are several passes in the lo\
mountains to the westwan
of Dawson which might b< ■
suitable for the crossing oi
the oil lines. Even if it not
be practicable to pipe the oi
in winter, the route through
Yukon to Skagway of vicin
ity would have a tremendu
ous a dvantage in being short
er and in reaching the coas
a thousand miles or more t
the south. The ocean steair
mg in the agregate for th
fleets of the future whic
thus would be saved wouL '
be tremendous.
Construction of a pipe lin
through the Yukon wouL
mean outlay of money, alon
and would create a big ini
tiaf expense as well as subse
quent distribution for main
tenance. The opening of sucl
enterprise might bring witl
it the incentive for a railwa.'1
in (his section. Couple the dc
mand for pich a service fo.
the oil business with that for
the new silver camps 'and
other Yukon enterprises and
there is a multiplied induce
ment
The whole thing is of sucl:
promise that representative
Yukon organizations and a
great many others interest
ed feel assured their time
wifi not be spent without'a
hope of hte advantage if
--- I
they will look into the pos
sibilities of getting oil of ft
Norman sent out this way.
A stampede is inidght or al
ready under way to the new
fields. Yukon should not be
slow in rising to the oppor
tunity—Dawson News.
