Wellington, Oct. 23. The Government have received no information of a rise in Lake Rotorua.

Mr Ballance has telegraphed to H, A Gordon, Inspecting Engineer of the Mines Department, who is at present in the district, to ascertain the exact position of affairs and wire the result of his investigations. If the Lake rises to any extent a large volume of water can be run into Lake Rotoiti at a cost of about LSO.
