HOKITIKA'S WHITEBAIT.
HOKITIKA. October 6.
Mr G. A. AVoods. of the local whitebait preserving works, has just imported one of Milne's latest patented toggle and drawing presses for the manufacture of tins in which whitebait are put up. The machine is not, only labor-saving, but turns out the tins hi one piece, no soldering being required The machine has a capacity for 13,000 tins daily, and is very much in advance of the old process. It works with great smoothness, and can be manipulated by unskilled Ifc is said to be the Jirst machine of the kind imported into the colony. So far the catch of whitebait has been insignificant this season, and there will be a marked shortage in the supplies usually .available. Only a, very small percentage of orders are likely to bo iilltd.
