LEASING AURIFEROUS LAND.
(To the Editor of the Tuapeka Times). Sir,— Knowing the large circulation your -paper has among the mining districts, I have taken the liberty of asking you to insert the following lines,, which I hope may tend to open the eye's of my fellow miners to their own interest, and by so doing they will immediately tender their objections to the almost daily applications for land on auriferous hilts and terracesy under a- blind 1 for agriculturalpurposes. I-find'adaim of "mine, although idle at present for water, has been pegged off by one of these twopenny-halfpenny ■ squatters, and as this is only the commencement of it, I think it behoves us to do our best to check it in the bud, for as soon as the country is held by a seltish set of burgoo-eating cockatoos, so soon will our honourable calling be reduced to fossicking in old ground, or to work for fifteen bob a week, with a chance of taking it out in hard stuff. — I am, &c, A Minsk. Switzers, April 18, 1870.
