[ „ I | Fifty years ago a pottery expert from | the -Mother Country settled at Paparoa • (Kaipara), and, finding some suitable ' clay, he began to experiment. He made I teacups and saucers and teapots for the early settlers. Recently, in Auckland, he produced a teapot that he had made nO years before. An exhibit or tiles, building facings, and sanitary crockery made from this clay is now on view in Wellington. An English Expert was surprised that such articles could be manufactured from only one clay, because in England and on the Continent he states that at least three ingredients are necessary to produce such a result. A company, mostly with Wellington capital, is being formed to exploit the find. The promoters state that they have 100 years visible and accessible supply of the clap available, and that tbere_ need be no land carriage. as scows can get right up to their I wharf.
