Tuatapere work

-

Mr Moseley, radio diviner from Kaitangata, where he has been the means of locating many rich seams of coal for the companies operating there, paid Tuatapere a visit during last week (says the Guardian). It is surprising to learn that besides striking numerous coal measures, quartz reefs, etc, the diviner found strong evidence of an oilbearing belt in the vicinity of the town. According to the expert, there is an immense quantity of oil lying at a depth of 2000 feet, the oil bed lying east to west. It seems likely that a syndicate may shortly be formed to test the truth of the report, per medium of the boring rod.
