Which commemorates the September 21, 1902 oil strike[1] in what is now Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta.

The well was drilled by John Lineham, a Calgary businessman and former member of the Legislative Assembly for the North-West Territories, George K. Leeson and Kootenay Brown, whose Rocky Mountain Development Company purchased a mineral claim of 650 acres (2.6 km2) on the land along Oil Creek (now Cameron Creek) for a dollar an acre, a region of natural oil seeps.

[3] Lineham's well was drilled by a wood "Canadian Pole" rig powered by a 35-horsepower (26 kW) steam engine.

The well casing quickly failed, and the bore became jammed with debris and drilling tools.

Further explorations in the area yielded nothing useful with a majority of the nearby drilling sites abandoned by 1908,[1] but general exploration in more northerly portions of Alberta, yielded the Turner Valley field in 1914.
