A little sensation was caused at Castlecliff, Wanganui, the other day by the rather extraordinary experiences of a borer for artesian water. While boring, Mr. G. Smith noticed a rather strong smell of gas and on examination of the bore, he found a gas was escaping with great force. Ho applied a match and was surprised to see a column of flame rising several feet. This seems an indication that a petroleum Strata is running under'the Castlecliff district, if no further.
