M. G. NASMITH, Secretary. FOR IMMEDIATE SALE. THAT VALUABLE ESTATE NEAR GIS BORNE, known as the— PAPATU RUN. THIS PROPERTY consists of 3168 acres of Freehold Land, and 1589 of Leasehold, having upwards of 8 years yet to ran. It is most conveniently situated, being about II miles from the Port of Gisborne, by a good level buggy road. A considerable part of the Freehold is rich alluvial Flat, equal in quality to any Land in the Poverty Bay District, which is well known as the most fertile in New Zealand. The remainder is good hilly Limestone and Papa country. The whole is well Watered. The Leasehold can be converted into a Freehold without much difficulty, and at a moderate price. THE QUALITY of the Soil is best shown by the fact that although not fully improved, the property is now carrying over 13,000 sheep, besides a number of cattle and horses, and there is abundance of grass. The whole Estate is fenced and subdivided by substantial wire and hard wood fences. There is a small Dwelling House upon the Property : also a large Wool Shed and other Station Buildings, Yards, &c. The whole will be sold, with the Stock belonging to it, as a going concern, and the price will be low, as it must be sold. FREEZING WORKS are to be erected immediately, in Gisborne, thus ensuring a steady market for surplus Stock, and guaran. teeing an ample return for the money invested. For further particulars apply to— J. B. WHYTE, Wyndham Street, Auckland; Or to the— BANK OF NEW ZEALAND, Gisborne. DOES CREDIT PAY? THE PROBLEM SOLVED 11 WHO BROUGHT DOWN THE PRICES?
