TARANAKI (N.Z.) OIL WELLS LIMITED. At the rotary bore yesterday a very strong blow-out of gas took place during drilling, ejecting about BO casks of oil. The day previously a similar blowout occurred at No. 5 bore, which sent the oil over the top of the derrick. About 30 casks were saved in a few minutes. Oil is still flowing from this bore. Bore No. 3 continues to steadily give the usual weekly output of oil.
