THE BREAD QUESTION.
(To the Editor of the Tuajpeka Times.) Sib, — I observe an unwarrantable intrusion into the private business of a gentleman residing here in the mining report of your Blue Spur correspondent. He there asserts that a baker recently invested £700 or £800 in a cement claim — a statement unfounded in fact, and, I believe, malicious in intent. The baking business at the Spur is hardly sufficient to maintain one man, let alone two ; and I consider reports like those given currency to in your last number calculated to mislead the public, and perhaps attract working men to risk their capital in a hopeless euterprise. I believe it takes the bakera all their time to pay cash for their flour, and the profits are absurdly exaggerated by public rumour. I hope in future your correspondent will confine himself to mining matters, with which, perhaps, he has some slight acquaintance, and not meddle with other people's affairs. — Yours, &c, Right Honest. Blue Spur, Feb. 25, 1868.
