MARUIA MINERAL SPRINGS. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) WESTPORT, January 7. A Buljer resident who has just returned from the M a,ruin mineral springs gives a glowing account o( their curative properties. He himsel. suffered from rheumatism, hut he has got riel of the complaint. While he was there a lady suffering from rheumatism came to see what benefit she could derive, and she not only got rid of rheumatism, but also of goitre. When she was there two hundred people came to the springs, hut there is no attendant. There are six baths for men and five for ladies, but, as there is no notice outside to distinguish one from the other, embarrassing situations sometimes arise. The Buffer resident urges that an attendant he placed in charge of the bnths to see that they are kept clean, also with powers to protect bird life in the vicinity of the armings, ns many youths came there with pen-rifles and destroyed native birds and beautiful New Zealand parrots, whi h are now very rare. Protection of the pretty bush there, which is destroyed hv campers, is also urged, as it adds to the beauty of the surroundings and also .affords shelter for campers.
