A BLOW-OUT OF PETROLEUM.
Tprers association.] NEW PLYMOUTH, March 14. One of the biggest "blow-outs" yet experienced here occurred in the Taranaki Petroleum Company's No. 3 bore this morning, during deep drilling operations, pure oil being ejected to a great height, twelve barrels full of which was collected. Operations at Nos. 1 and 2 bores continue satisfactory. The flow from the latter between the casings is continuous. All energies; however, are devoted to sinking deeper.
