Mangatete.
(From our Own Correspondent). The saws of the timber mill here have been humming right merrily lately, and Mr. A. H. Long is turning out a fine lot of first-class timber. Some thousand feet have been disposed of locally and several launch loads have been sent to meet more distant demands. The work in the bush has been pushed on rapidly under the supervision of Mr. W. Long and the waggon roads are now completed. For the past nine days three teams of bullocks and one team of horses have been waggoning timber from the bush to the Maugatete river. Some fine logs, one of which is a beautiful totara spar over 65 feet in length, have been brought down to the water’s edge. Two teams are engaged in the bush hauling the timber to the waggon road. Besides those hauling, there are men cross-cutting, etc., and as one of the workmen remarked, “ It is something like life out there.” December 6th, 1906.
