WELLS TO BE SUNK NEAR GISBORNE Bv TEI.RUR '-SOCIATION Gisborne, February 15. The Gisborne Oil Proprietary, which is about to bore for oil in the district, has now definitely decided on the location of the bore, which will be on Dodgshun’s Station, a few miles from Ruatoria. The gear is now being landed on the site, but owing to the amount of work necessary prior to the boring it is unlikely that drilling will be commenced before the end of April. The geologists are now deciding on the second location, and probably the two wells will be sunk at the same time.
