GISBORNE.
This day.
(Peb Pbess Association.)
Mr Ackroyd returned from the Sooth Pacific Oil Springs yesterday. He speaks hopefully of the ultimate success of the present operations. The indications are most encouraging, and the new bore is down 120 feet. Men are working day and night. A severe gale is being experienced here, and the sea in the bay is unusually heavy. The Saucy Kate, schooner, put in yesterday, having split her foresail during the passage from Auckland. At the South Pacific Petroleum works the rock being found sufficiently hard in the bore, the use of pipes baa been dispensed with after a depth of 274 feet.
