SKELETONS IN HEAPS.
An Auckland telegram says the contractor for the East Hamilton Station road, Waikato, came upon a number of human skeletons on Thursday. There was scarcely a dray load of earth taken from the cutting without a skull, large bones, &c. There is an old pah near, and report says that before the Waikato was conquered by Europeans the whole bapu was surprised near this spot and completely wiped out.
