Sir James Hector, who wintered at Edmonton in 1858, described the coals he saw there and on the Red Deer River. In 1859 he discovered coal on the Athabasca, and on the Pembina along the present line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and thought it was of the same coal-bearing strata he had observed on the Saskatchewan and the Red Deer rivers. The seams at Edmonton were also examined by Capt. Thomas Blakiston, who accompanied Captain Palliser and Dr. Hec- tor on this expedition. Captain Blakis...ton thought the beds at Edmonton extended up the river as far as Rocky Mountain House. Lord Milton and Dr. Cheadle observed a bed of coal fifteen feet to twenty feet thick on the Pembina. Sir Sanford Fleming and Dr. Grant who crossed the country in 1872 referred in their report to the coals of Edmonton and Pembina. In 1873 Dr. Selwyn descended the North Saskatchewan and recorded in great detail the coal seams on this river. This is the first report by an officer of the Canadian government. Discoveries in the Southern part of the province along the Interna- tional Boundary were made when the boundary was surveyed in 1875.
