THE KARAMEA.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NELSON EVENING MAIL. Sir — I am right glad that the Nelson people are beginning once more to agitate about the Kararnea. I believe that they have got untold wealth in that country if they will only put forth their hauds and take it. It would be a very easy matter to liy the wiiole country open to the digger. If a bridle track was cut from the Baton to where the Crow comes out into the open valley, this would answer every purpose, the distance would be about twelve miles, or so. The Crow cuts into the valley, at a most convenient point for the diggers, as they could work upwards to the head of ir, the Wangapelca ranges, and also downwards to the Takaka and Auatoki Ranges. A depot once established at the above-named point, with provisions, would prove an immense boon to the diggers, as irom theuce they could pack provisions to branch stores into every part of the valley. One great advantage in this route is, that you can travel over it all the winter through, and thus there would be no danger of the dialers being starved out. Yours, &c, Nothing to Do, only vegetating in Sleepy Hollow.
