Thirty-five years ago Mrs. G. .Soper, of Athol, Southland, lost her engagement ring and, after searching assiduously without result, she offered a reward to anyone who found it. The other day Miss Alice Soper, a niece of Mrs. Soper, was helping her brother while he was repairing a fence, and the ring was unearthed when a posthole was being dug. It was in as good condition as the day it was lost and tlie reward, which still held good, was paid over.
Drilling wells in search of oil is now progressing ’.in parts of Britain. It costs from £5 to £8 per foot, and a depth of as much as three miles may be reached.
