A BURIED TREASURE.
According to the Auckland "Herald" search is being made at Hangitikei, near, the Waitomo Uavos for a valuable mere, buried there by i great Maori chief, who was killed in the war. Though the locality of the burried treasure is welLknown and search has been made for ifc all round and about, it has nover yet been found. Strange to say, a bell, used formerly to call the Maoris to service, was also lost during the war, and it was dug up out of the mud during one of the searches for the buried mere. A settler used it one day tn call the men to dinner, and the Maoris all flocked to the house, recognising the tone of their old call bell. It was returned to them, and now is used for its original purpose.
