Every head of water that can possibly be brought 'on to the field will be eagerly taken at rates" which will insure a very large profit to the proprietors of the water, and at the same time will allow the miners to obtain large and steady returns. Whilst there are several leads which can be and are being worked profitably by tunnelling and driving out the ground, there are miles of country which can only be worked by ground Bluicing. At the present time it la estimated thai there are about 4000 miners on the field j available. - It has been found by surveys that the whole of die country from the sea to over. 25 miles inland, including the whole of the Kumara goldheld can be commanded by a race from the Wawihinihi river (which is one of the sources of the Teremakau), whilst there ia ampieJall for tail water throughout the w hole distance into the Teremakau. It has also been ascertained that a xace from the Wainihinihi could be formed almost entirely by open ditching, and that there will be no need of expensive tm>nels or fluming, The race which it is proposed to make will be about 20 miles in length, and will give a constant supply of 50. beads of water. The estimates for the proposed worit, which have been carefully shew SSSS CMt J of . the &* wiU to "boot XiJU.UOO, and in fixing the amount of capital of the company a large margin has been provided for unforseen contingencies.
