MOUNTA NEERING.
TRIP TO SOUTH WESTLAND.
HOKITIKA, February 15
Dr Teichelmann returned last evening from his annual mountaineering trip to South Westland. He intended scaling Mount Aspiring, but found the conditions unfavourable on account of the absence of high snow and the lateness of the season. The Waiatoto Valley, which was traversed, is one of the longest in Westland. The river flows through country rich in beautiful bush scenery and abounding in waterfalls. There are numerous river fiats suitable for pastoral purposes, and until within a few miles of Mount Aspiring the grade is that of a good carriage ro« d. Native birds were numerous in this natural sanctuary.
