Oil Exploration In Papua
SINCE the last report issued by the Australian Petroleum Company Pty.
Ltd., nine-inch casing has been run into the Kariava bore in Papua and cem ented at 5,750 feet. Drilling has been re sumed, and on February 1 had reached a depth of 6,378 feet.
It is reported that a new “cargo-move ment” has arisen in New Guinea; It ex tends along the Madang coast and as far as the Ramu. A new twist to it appears to be the native belief that the return of their ancestors, with the promised car go, depends upon the natives learning English. Therefore, there is great de mand upon the missionaries in the area
to teach them English as soon as pos sible.
