PETROLEUM NEWS.
Mr. Carter, chairman of directors of the Taranaki Petroleum Company, ban received a letter, dated July 21, from Mr. A. L. Beattie, Chief MecDanlcal Engineer of Railways, who says that trials will be made by the Department of the crude petroleum, with a view to ascertaining its suitability for locomotive fuel. About 100 barrels of oil will be required for the purpose of the trial, and it must be free from water, grit, or any impurity likely to choke the burner. The yield of No. 2 well during the past seven days is about the same as in the previous w«ek, and the well continues to flow steadily. At No. 3 drilling is proceeding satisfactorily, and at No. 1 eight-inch casing is still being put down.
