Unexplored Quebec.

It is estimated- that in the north of the province of Quebec there are still 259,000 square miles of unexplored country, making, with the 642,000 square miles in western Canada, a total of 901,000 square miles. In other words, 28 per cent of Canada is still unexplored. In the basin of the River Mackenzie there are believed to be great petroleum wells. Natives state that they have seen lakes at the Yukon, from 60 to 70 miles long, that have pot been seen by white men. The Mackenzie mountains no one, not even the Indians, knows anything of.
