"ItY struck me while in Taumaranui," said Mr C. E. Daniel! to a Daily Times reporter, "that the sugar and blanket policy of dealing with the Maoris has' gone too far. All the lands there "appeared to be Maori leaseholds, and Un consequence the buildings that were erected on them were-only of a very temporary character, mostly of white pine. The chief employment of the natives appeared to be billiard playing. "We are allowing them to be gamesters," he continued, "and 1 finding ; |he money for them to gamble with by leasing their lands>from them." It is reported that an exceedingly valuable deposit of hematite iron orehas been found within a few miles of

Kawhia township. The Government analyst, reporting on the sample sent .to him, states that the- ore contains 83 per cent, of oxide of iron, which is equal to 57.80 of metallic iron. "The deposit is said to i have been traced for a distance of three miles, and as there are large deposits of excellent limestone, and beds of coal in the same district,^ this discovery may be regarded as of national importance. As Mr J. Peoples was tal^ing_a load of cheese boxing to the Dairy Tactory on Saturday alternoon (says the Kaikoura Sun) he met with an accident that momentarily looked very ugly. By some means he was thrown from the spring cart and fell heavily to the ground, sustaining concussion of the brain. The mishap was not actually observed, but a few seconds after it occurred Mr W. Adams, junr., noticed that the horses were not under control, and going down the road discovered Mr Peoples in an unconscious state. With the assistance of Messrs J. Mackle and J. Armstrong he was taken into Mr B. Mackle's house, and Dr. Story sent for. Consciousness was not regained by Mr Peoples until about four hours after, but rapid recovery has since been made, and he was able to walk home yesterday morning. ... ■ ' | Never mind the why or wherefore, i You've a nasty cold, and, therefore, That it's time your health to care for, I You must, surely recognise.
