OIL FOR THE NAVY. DERBYSHIRE BORING BEGINS. Machinery for-drilling for oil for the is being rapidly crected by Lard Cowdray on two sites near Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and operations on the Erst bore will be begun by American experts in a few weeks, says the Daily Mail.

Lord Cowdray, head of the firm of S. Pearson and Sons, in March offered to spend £500,000 in boring for oil on con- dition that the work would be protected by legislation from indiscriminate drill- ing. The Government accepted the offer, appointed lessrs, Pearson as its agents, and passed the Petroleum (Production) Bill, prohibitiong persons other than its agents from searching for or getting petroleum in the United Kingdom.

An oil mining expert recently said that the cost of drilling a single bore under the most favourable conditions. would be between £30,000 and £40,000. Oil in Derbyshire is most likely to be found at depth of about 2,000ft. A bore for this depth will be started with a hole 15in. in diameter, finishing up at the bottom at about Gin, or 8in. It is a most skilful and delicate operation, and any careless- ness on the part of the drillers or the
