Payable gold has been fouud within 10 miles of Tauranga, and the recently opened Waihi mines . * » are within 25 miles of Tauranga. Maize 60 bushels an acre; Potatoes, 10 tons per acre. The local Butter, Cheese, Beef, Mutton, Ham, Maize, and Wheat are unsurpassed. Wheat, Barley, Oats, Tobacco, and other crops give a very high yield. Good openings for Millers. The average yield of Wheat is 25 bushels to the acre. Before the Maori war Tauranga was the Granary of the North Island. All the land of the district is available for wheat growing. * Wheat cropping here was put an end to by the Maori war until recently, when the Tauranga settlers were astonished by the quantity and quality of their yield of wheat. The Tauranga flour is the only flour which can ibe safely exported to the Islands. The Tauranga wheat fetches 3d per bushel more in Auckland market than any other New Zealand wheat, and is equal in quality to that of Adelaide, the best in the world, as proved by the followin 01 certificate by an experienced miller, who is carrying on the milling industry in Tauranga :— '- ° « Tauranga, 23rd July, 1888. " J". Galbraith, Esq., Tauranga, (( §)ear Sir,— Luring t?ie 33 years in which*T have been engaged in the milting and corn trades, wheats from most of the grain growing countries have passed through my hands, and I can safely say no single sample that I have seen contains more desirable points than the -wheats grown in the Tauranga district, TKt ' White Tuscan' grown here, 7znown on Liverpool and Marlz Lane Exchanges as ' JSTew Zealand Long-berried Wheat/ is, I think, in every respect equal to the famous Adelaide wheat ; and the ' 'White Velvet/ Known at Liverpool and Marlz Lane as the c JSTew Zealand Short-berried Wheat/ is equal to, and in some respects superior to f Oregon/ -which, wit7i the Adelaide -wheats, always commanded top prices in the home marlzets. I understand that last year's crop yielded 40 and even ' BO bushels per acre. JSTo further proof is needed that the soil and magnificent climate of Tauranga are eminently adapted for the growth of, wheat.— Faith fixity ATOAOB PRICE OF COMMODITIES: ~ ' B?ead 3£d the 21b loaf "I lnpql Beef 3d to 4d per lb Bacon 7d per lb \ Milk 3d per quart \ Apples 2d per lb > Nectarines Is per 100 • Butter Is per lb 3 Pork 5d per lb f , , Hani 8d per lb I lftnol Cheese 5d per lb f , , Pears 2d per lb f , , Grapes 6d per lb Li i *Tea2sperlb ") .
