SOUTHERN CROSS OIL SPRINGS

On Wednesday, the 31st of October, there were landedatTuparoaaboutCOOfeetof 5-inch pipes for the Southern Cross Petroleum Company, as tlio works have been at a standstill for some time for tho want of these pipes, which arc intended to go down inside the six-inch bore which lias been sunk about five hundred feet. I believe the six inch could not be driven any further on ac count of the worm getting damaged, 80 this five-inch piping was procured, and as soon as it is got on tho Company's ground operations will re-commence with full vigour. These pipes were landed from the schooner Gisbornc. They were shipped in Auckland on or about the 20th of October. The Company have commenced to build a new derrick about one mile from the other derrick on a lower terrace—l suppose about 250 feet below their present works. On Thursday night tho Union Company's s.s. Southern Cross came to anchor offTuparoa, and a boat from the shore put off and brought J. IT. Stubbs, the general manager of the Southern Cross Petroleum Company,on shore; but being night-time, it was not considered safe to land anything. The steamer had on board the boiler and about fifty pipes to land, the pipes being about throe hundred pounds weight each, and tho boiler three tons, if not more. On Friday the boiler was got safely ashore on n raft, and is ex pected to be at the new derrick in tho course of a few days. Then Mr Weaver (the gentleman from America) will be able to commence operations.—[VVaiapu corre spondent, November 3.]

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Scholarships for Girls.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —Can you inform me why the Auck land Education Board will give this year to girls scholarships only of tho value of £20 a year, but to boys £30 ? Why are girls to receive less when they have to pass in all tho subjects, even Agricultural Chemistry, which is a most unsuitable one for them ? Girls attending the public schools also labour under disadvantages that most of the boy 6do not, for their parents not being in a position to pay for help in the house, girls, almost without exception, have to help their mothers either in housework or needlework during their spare time. I and many others, therefore, think an injustice is being done them, and think they should bo equally paid with the boys.—l am, Ac, A Mother.
