OKARITA.

The Hokitika Leader of the 4th j says :—": — " Most disastrous results seem to have attended the late heavy gales J and sea in the Okarita 'district. Our southern contemporary informs us that at the Five-mile the late high tides have done a vast amount of mischief. The beach is completely levelled from the Three to the Five-mile, and the claims at the northern end may be said to be obliterated. The whole of them were washed into one, the paddocks were filled up, and heaps of washdirt, which their owners had calculated on obtaining hundreds of ounces from have been lost."
