BURIED COINS
SURVEYORS’ DISCOVERY MONEY FOR NEW RELIGION From Our Own Correspondent WHANGAREI, Monday. While surveying a native block in the Mangakura district, surveyors had some trouble in locating one of the pegs. A spade was brought into use, and a number of coins were uncovered, about £4 being found. The money is believed to be part of about £lO collected some years ago, when a movement to establish a new religion among the natives of the district was afoot. It is said that at the time the prime mover indicated that one-tenth of the moneys subscribed would be returned to the land. The money consisted of small coins.
