PETROLEUM NEWS
No. 2 and 3 bores at Moturoa are still I flowing. I The work of inserting the casing in No. 1 is proceeding satisfactorily, and it is expected it will .be completed shortly. ■ A Melbourne visitor went over the works on Saturday, and was much impressed with what is being done. Chat- , ting to our representative, he said he , ; could not understand the apparent apathy of the New Plymouth people over the oil prospects. "You have got the oil; that's a certainty; and you should 'bog , into it'—talk it up and exploit it for all it is worth. I guarantee that if the same showing was in Australia, the thing would be run for all it is worth. wells like you have at your doors are much better than gold mines, but this 1 fact does not seem to have struck your people yet. You want shaking up, and shaking up 'badly."
