Mr Weaver in Auckland.
MR MAUDE’S OPINION. Mb Maude arrived yesterday afternoon from Auckland, to which place he had paid a visit for the purpose of having an interview with Mr Washington Weaver, before that gentleman want on to Sydney. On being requested for information by our reporter, Mr Maude said he was not in a position to make public all that had been conveyed to him, but he was quite sanguine of the result, and believed that everything was straight and above-board. Mr Weaver stated that if he had £lO,OOO he would invest every penny of it in oil ehares. Mr Weaver, he added, had bought a thousand more shares. In answer to further questions Mr Maude said there was a large quantity of oil works machinery on board the Alameda, but it had gone on to Sydney. There would be nothing done in oil matters until Mr Weaver returned from Sydney. Mr Maude said he could not make out what game the Sydney people were carrying on. Six oil drillers arrived in Auckland by the Alameda, but he was not sure whether they were coming on to Gisborne.
