54 CARIBOU SHOOTING IN NEWFOUNDLAND. 



PETROLEUM. 



As was to be expected in presence of all this coal, 

 indications of petroleum in paying quantity have been 

 observed, and will be investigated and utilized as soon 

 as the people recover from the present financial 

 troubles. The writer, being somewhat familiar with 

 surface indications of petroleum in the great oil fields 

 of Pennsylvania, noticed in the White Hills region 

 strong surface signs, including the presence of the well 

 known pebble rocks, and has not the least doubt but 

 it is only a question of time when Newfoundland will 

 be a coal oil producing county.
