OWHAROA.
HEITMAN’S FREEHOLD. Work on this ground is being rapidly proceeded with. A shaft has been sunk a distance of over 40 feet near the corner where the Waihi and Waitekauri roads junction. It is intended to sink a distance of 60 feet or more, and then drive north and south to endeavour to find the reef which is supposed to exist and to have shed the quartz which is very plentiful on both sides of the ridge. The machinery and timber for erecting a pumping and lifting plant is on the ground, and the work of getting this in position is being proceeded with. So far the country being penetrated is easy to work, but it is expected that it will shortly change to something harder.
