A soda water spring has been discovered at Oromahoe, 12 mUes from Kaikohe, on the Paihia road.

It rose five feet above the level of the water with the casing sfill in the /bore. When the casing tvas withdrawn the spring forced up through the stream. It is hoped to put a permanent casing in the ‘bore and leave the spring intact.
