Drilling for Oil*—Press reports that certain companies engaged in the search for oil in New Zealand had suspended drilling did not refer to the operations of the New Zealand Petroleum Company, Ltd., said Sir Colin Fraser, chairman of directors of the company. Sir Colin, whose home is in Melbourne, has been visiting the localities in which his company’s geological survey and drilling operations are proceeding. The New Zealand Petroleum Company is completing a second test well in the New Plymouth area, and after a detailed survey, including structural drilling, it is also preparing to drill a deep well at Uruti, about 35 miles north of New Plymouth, and near the main coastal road. Further structural drilling to the south of New Plymouth, is also being undertaken.—(P.A.)
