TARANAKI OIL INDUSTRY.
. AUCKLAND, January 13. Acting under instructions from Mr H. B. Tewsley, a sale of bore, buildings, and plant in connection with the Taranaki oil industry was conducted this afternoon by Messrs Smith and Halcombe. There was a fair attendance, and the property and plant were eventually sold for £2BOO. The bore is near Huiroa station, on the Stratford-Ohura line, and is down nearly 5000 ft. The prospects, when the bore was stopped by reason of a breakage, were considered favounble.
