The men on strike at the Kawakawa mine have received notice to quit the compauy's houses to make room for new hands. Carkeek, the surveyor, telegraphed to Bryce yesterday that he had been unable to carry through the exploration for a railway line via Mokau, the natives having turned him back beyond the Ohura district. He reports the country to be exceedingly rough, but it is probable the Government will send another party to try to get through what is held to be the best route for the railway.
