The Tareuaki Petroleum Bore.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Wetlington, September 3

Mr Samuel, chairman of the Taranaki Oil Company, writes to the N.Z. Times correct ing some mis -statements aB to the prospects of getting oil. He says that the flow is at present small, only 627' gallons at last test per diem, about 67 gallons of which were oil. They hope that when they can shut the water out of the bore, it will be found that a large reservoir of oil has been tapped, md that it will flow freely. The loss by the fire is not nearly so great as was expected, and will be made good m a .month or so. He concludes thus: — "The promoters formed the company aot for the purpose of making profits by selling shares, but; to endeavour to set at rest the question whether the oil here is m payable quantity or not, and I and those who are associated "with me are anxious that none should be induced to embark m the venture capital which they cannot afford to lose, under the mistaken impression that success is oortain instead of merely probable."

On the last-named subject he said : "It was all vety well- for Ministers and honorable members to claim before the general public the credit of having reduce! the. duty on tea 2d per lb. He questioned whether any family %vas ad better off m consequence of what they did last year," While admitting that Mr Tanner may be an authority on oats and school primers, his sweeping assertion regarding Tea is contrary, to fact. It is admitted that m the matter of blended teas it- was m some cases alleged that no alterations would be made m price, bat the difference would be given iv quality. That may or may not have been done, but had Mr Tanner investigated the matter thoroughly, he would have found that SURA- TDRA TEA waß immediately Imvered m price to the public by the amount al the duty, and the quality of it being so firmly established, no doubt entered anyone's mind but that the reduction m price was a, genuine one, and' that the quality remains the same. .Suratura Tea is guaranteed NOT blended with Indian or China Tea. • .

My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took his advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives liave'used Ayer s- Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results.
