For CAPITALISTS there ' are' Many * C_A-_i *in cgr BUT ONLY ONE 4IKB THIS ! OVER 6000 ACRES FIRST-CLASS BUSH FOR £1200 OASH - NEAR THE EAST CAPE. THIS pjroperty is a Native Leasehold, 20 yeaTs to run, with right renewal, at a rental of ls 4d per acre; the lease has been recently taken up, and the tenants, being unable to work the prpporty, are reluctantly compelled to dispose of their interest. The country is nearly all First-class Grazing Land, described by ail who have ?een it as GOOD TWO-SHEEP COUNTRY. Over 4000 acres would be ploughable if not in bush, being all low country, NEARLY FLAT. There are HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF ALLUVIAL FLATS along the river, which forms one boundary, and the whole property is well watered by stoney-bottom-ed creeks. The surveyor's report says that "there are only 800 acres of secondclass land on the whole block, this part being Tough and broken, but not high, the highest poinj- being only 1200 feet; the tops of the ridges are birch, "but ihe gullies are good, the bush being principally tawa,' hinahina, konini, makomako, "and other good scrub, with plenty of supplejack. ! "THE GOOD COUNTRY IS. -UNSURPASSED. BY ANY LANH IN THE GISBORNE DISTRICT, the timber on this being white pine, matai, rimu, very heavy tawa, konini, and makomako. The • adjoining country is grassed, and is magnificent sheep country, all stock doing wonderfully well.'* THe access is good, there being a dray road from the t Coast up th£ river right on to the section, only a few miles. A atock track across to Hick's Bay would run over nearly l^evel country. If bush is to be felled this season, it is advised that on one boundary, 1000 acres could be cut, all nearly flat, easy to fence, and well watered. LOSE NO TIME in getting Bushfellers to work ! NOW, are **\rospecti* so bad that none of yoii are gaine" to invest your capital in what will in a few yearo be one of the best -of the Coast stations? Do you intend' to give your sons a start? - Are they afraid to go "back" for a few years? Put up your £i2OO and buclc in like a man ! If YOU liave been waiting for a chance like this, and have sufficient capital and "go" to acquire and work this property, come and get any furthei information from — C.G.
