NEW ZEALAND.
NEW PLYMOUTH, Jan 12. , [SPECIAI.] I After much negotiation, Mr Williams, interpreter at Patea, has succeeded in getting ithe Natives to permit a gravel pit to be 'opened on a Native reserve on the Waimale plains. This is considered a greater achievement than the survey of the plains themselves, as the Natives have generally a great
objection to soil being removed from fcheii land for road making. The mountain road is now used for all kinds of conveyances. A buggy and pair went through in one day, returning the next.
