THE OTUNUI BATTERY.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib, —I see by a paragraph in your morning contemporary that the writer is anxious to know when a battery will be erected al Otunui, and pointing out that the track via the Hape Creek has been completed for several weeks. Well, so far correct; but as one of the two batteries, at any rate, will be, erected where there will be water-powej^to work it, the road via Hapa Creek is toot the one that will be selected for the conveyance of the battery, but that via the Kauaeranga as the most practicable. Ifc is all very well to say if only 10 stampers were conveyed to the district that would . be sufficient to test the reefs. Granted— but who's to pay the piper? Speculators should step in and give a helpiug hand, and do something besides grumbling. The Eureka Company I believe, are not asleep, and the directors, when the proper time comes will have their battery erected without having to go on thoir marrow- ■ bones for the needful—although, perhaps, it will take a little longer to accomplish. ™ I remain, sir, Fair Pi at. %sjr
