KAWARAU GOLD VENTURE
GATES OF DAM CLOSED
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, August 3. Although it was known that negotiations were well advanced for the closing of the Kawarau dam, Cromwell residents were surprised at daylight this morning to, find that the Kawarau was steadily receding, clearly indicating that the gates had been lowered. The river has been falling steadily all day, reports the Cromwell correspon-. dent of the “Otago Daily Times,” and the general opinion is that it is lower at the town than last year’s level. Representatives of local companies are at present up the Gorge inspecting the levels, as more definite marks are available, there, and any action will be decided on their return. If the level is favourable, men will at once be employed. The weather is cold and stormy.
