Lang and Thoneman have received a very satisfactory letter from the contractors 'of the railway works near Tukomairiro on. the subject of the efficacy of the ■ lithofraeteur supplied to them by that firm.

We (/Dunstan Times') are informed that shares in the Dunstau Flour .Mill Company are now being taken up freely in all parts of the district.
