OPERATIONS AT TARATA. DRILLING NEXT MONTH. SECOND BORE LATER. The progress of work at Tarata preparatory to the oil boring operations commencing was briefly referred ‘to by the manager of the Taranaki Oil Fields, Ltd. (Mr. A. Moline) last night. Mr. Moline stated that at No. 1 well site at Tarata the erection of the rig continues, and with favourable conditions it is hoped that the preliminary stages of drilling will be entered upon early in December.
