OMATA OIL BORE

ON THE VERGE.

HOPE OF SUCCESS AT 5000 FEET. AUCKLAND, Aug. 19. An inspection of the drilling operations for oil being carried out at Omata, near New Plymouth, is to be made by Mr R. J. Lea Wright, of Sydney, a director of Coal Oil (N.Z.), Ltd., who arrived by the Ulimaroa. Nothing was beiug left to chance in connection with the company’s operations in the field, said Mr Wright. The site had been selected on the recommendation of scientists whose survey under the El'bof geophysical method had cost • £SS,OQG|. The drilling plant being used was capable of carrying the bore to 8000 ft if necessary. A very large size of casing, '2lin, had been used at the commencement, and this would • enable Bin casing to be carried down to 4500 ft. With the bore down to about 2000 ft? shows of oil and gas had been obtained.

Mr Wright said on the basis of scientific reports it was believed that oil might be found between the' 2000 ft and 4000 ft levels, but the main supply was thought to exist at a depth ■of at least 5000 ft.

Many A One Brought Back from The Brink. There are critical times in our lives when it seems as if we must let go. But we cling to life with a wonderful tenacity, Many diseases are very depressing in their worst stages and we get to the very brink sometimes, yet the hope of survival is great. Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills have brought many 'from the verge and given them a new lease of life. The following case should be of interest. Bead it Mr J. Jones, Franklin Street, Greymouth, says: ‘ ‘After suffering for some time from several distressing symptoms off kidney disorder, such as backache, dizzy attacks and urinary trouble I was, advised to try a course of Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills. The recommendation, I felt sure was genuine, so i bought some at once and commenced taking them, carefully following the directions. In a few days the pain in my back began to ease and j[ felt better in other ways. Needless to say 1 continued with the treatment and. by the time I had used six bottles of the pills 1 was cured and I have had no return of the trouble since. I shall always have a good word to say for Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills and will never lose an opportunity of recommending them to backache and kidney sufferers.” Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers.
