MANY SMALL FISSURES REPORTED,
,<»I TIIiEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCUTIOK.)
ROTOBUA, 20th June,
A special reporter visited Wairakei Taiipo, Oruanui, and Waioruru Valley; to-day. Oruanui is almost deserted, and the whole of the working M^aori mill--hands have left for Mokai. The earth in Oruanui Valley is full of small vertical fissures, though the country's formation is friable pumice. The shocks in the valley have been very severe, and were accompanied by alarming sounds. Although much apprehension is felt, no ..damage has been done, save a small amount of broken crockery. The seat of the trouble is felt to be on the Wairakei-Oruanui line. The lakeis low, through lack of rain and absence of snow water. Small, unimportant subsidences are reported at the western arm of the lake.
