"GOING NORTH."

FIVE r»ars ago hardly a person could be induced to go north of Auckland in search of land; to-day it .is tho favourite hunting ground, and the Northern Vv airoa—the New Zealand Mississippi, brood, deep, and navigable for all sizes of vessels, with 100,000 acres of rich one-cow-to-the-acre river flats on its bankshas proved the source of greatest attraction. . In ono year Messrs. T. Mandcno Jackson sold £400,000 worth of land here, and the demand for laud there is as keen as ever. It is tho best and safest district in which to invest money, because tho land is of the beoi; quality, it is still cheap, the stream is setting in that way, and its future prosperity and rapid progress are assured. Tho Awakino Block, 2000 acres actually adjoining the borough of Dargavillc, has been thoroughly drained and roaded, and is to be sold by auction by Messrs. T. Mandcno Jackson' on Slay 31. The land is all rich white pine, flat, and adjoins tho progressive town of Dargaville, v/hero £30,000 is l>eing spent in borough improvements, roads, gasworks, city gardens,' etc., and it is a sure and solid investment. Land is the only safe thing now to put your money into; it is not tangled up with the never-ending labour troubles, and it cannot " down tools." Tlio Awakino Block has been divided into sections of all sizes, and these afford quite an exceptional and most attractive opportunity for investment, where all the conditions and utilities required for certain success are assured. Get plans and particulars from the auctioneers. Taranki men who have bought in the Wairoa lately cay the land there is better than the best Taranaki land.
