(VROif 'OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Messrs A. P. Seymour and C. H. Mills, both members of the Marlborough Land Board, left Havelock on Wednesday morning, the lltb instant, and went to Mr Turner’s. Rai Valley, and on the afternoon of that day they were occupied in examining land in the vicinity of Mr Turner’s. The next day they went up the Ohaori Valley, across the high saddle,’down to Tuna Bay ; returned next day to Turner’s, and passed through a magnificent block of timber in Opouri Valley, the finest they ever saw. On Saturday they went up the Ronga Valley to the Croixelles, camped there with “Big Robert ” the Maori, and returned to the Rai Valley on Sunday. On Monday they went up Mount Barrett and took a bird’s eye view of the Brown, where it joins the Rai. Those gentlemen report having seen an enormous quantity of timber of a. grand character, the Opouri Valley having the cream of it. They were very hospitably entertained at all the plaoea where they called. |They returned to Havelook safe and sound on Monday evening. No stags were visible.
