Mr David Graham, an old resident at Tauranga, on the occasion of his leaving the district, is reported to have given the local prospecting association the following opinion upon the mineral wealth of the locality :—"Taurnga was the outlet to the interior. The natives told him twenty years ago that it was the * k'opu ' (belly) of New Zealand. There were rumours of gold being found at Tauranga. He had himself seen nuggets of three and four pounds weight. He had seen a nugget that size which was full of immdic. He°believed there was there the greatest silver mineral field in the world. From information of which he was then possessed from tho natives, of the quantity, and from the nature of specimens shown him, which they declared could be found, ho had no hesitation in saying that it was . one of tho richest mineral -fields in the whole world, ,not excepting South Australia and California."
