TARANAK I PETROLEUM.
rsEW PLYMOUTH, Last Night
The unusual activity reported at the No. 3 bore is by no means abating, and last night the developments were such as to make it necessary to lash the pipe down to the receiving tank to prevent it being Wrenched away altogether. There is a very fair amount of oil flowing continuously between the casing, averaging about eight barrels per day." Yesterday the staff was successful in cleaning out the well to the bottom, and had hoped to resume drilling this morning, but with the great activity that was shown throughout last night, the well had silted up again this- morning. Everything is going on satisfactorily at Nos. 2 and 5 bores.
