Puhipuhi Silver Fields.
Auckland, to-day. ' An old resident of Whangarei, Mr Morrison, has come to Auckland, and brings some very promising specimens from Puhipulu. The stone shows native silver freely, and Mr Morrison says there are thousands of tons of the same kind where this was taken from. Crown Lands Commissioner Humphries was interviewed at Whaugarei, in regard to opening up of Puhipulu field at the northern end for prosuecting. He said that as conservator of Puhipuhi forest he could not recommend the opening of one portion of the reserve, which, though not containing so much kauri as the rest of the forest, would ,placo the same in as much danger. He did not think the Govern* merit would open the bush until the gum season set in, namely May Ist. He had no doubt parties could go prospecting then.
