EXPLORATION.
[by .telegraph.]
New Plymouth, To-day
Mr Carkeek, the surveyor employed to explore the country between Stratford and Mokan, for a route for a railway, reports that the country through which he went was good land, and there were many suitable routes for either roads or railways. He says there are no engineering difficulties in, the, way to take a railway through the country. Mr Carkeek corroborates all that Mr Cheat, the surveyor, now of Auckland, reported eight years ago respecting the country. The latter then said “ The first sixty miles were undoubtedly a good line for a railway, and he saw no difficulties for a railway feeing taken along the route as he went.towards Auckland.”
