MINING RESERVES.
(To the Editor of the Tuapeka Times). Sir, — Will you please to insert these few lmes in your paper. Doubtless you are aware that there is a mining reserve ten chains wide on the banks of the Molyneux River. Well Mr. Lancaster ia not satisfied with having about a mile and a-half of that reserve fenced in, and everybody' 3 cattle and horses fenced out, but he is trying all he can to get a firmer hold. He first tried the Waste Lands Board to purchase ten acres of this mining reserve, but they would not entertain his application. He is now trying for an agricultural lease of ten acres, more or less, of the same resurve, and he knows very well that the same ground is auriferous. I think Mr. Lancaster must have forgotten that he made his money out of the diggers, or he would not tiy so hard to get this auriferous ground. I think if Mr. Lancaster would farm what he has got and not grow self-sown oat* ou about three hundred acres, it would pay him better. — 1 dm, &c, A Minek. Beaumont, August 22.
