The boring operations which are going on at Moturoa are causing considerable interest to be taken in them, not only in New Plymouth, but also in Sydney. We were shown on Saturday a cable message received from Sydney from one who had been employed at the present syndicate's work, which was «s follows :—": —" Secure all land possible. Leaving first boat with friends." The sender has evidently faith in what he has seen, and wishes to try some other spot. Mr Fair is also well satisfied with what be is doing. He has reached the depth of 900 ft, aud has already, we understand, tapped sufficient oil to send a barrel( of it ito Sydney. At present he is drilling a hard papa rock, and hopes, when through, to reach the contract depth of 1000 ft, when a flowing well, we hope, will be his reward.
