HEAVY RAIN RENDERS DAMMING INEFFICIENT
KAWARAU RIVER HIGH Press Association. DUNEDIN, Friday. On account of the very low level of the Kawarau River at the beginning of August, special permission was obtained from the Government to close the gates of the Kawarau dam for a short period. Immediately after they were closed heavy rains fell in the back country, with the result that the river did not reach nearly as low a level as was anticipated, and the gates were reopened on August 11, without the claimholders being able to report any satisfactory results. The secretary of the Kawarau Mining Company states that there is no likelihood of the gates being closed again this season.
