Sih, — I regret to say that there is Mich a dearth of enterprise in the sellleis of Auckland tliatl have felt it incumbent uj.on me to write a letter for inseition in your columns. .\l any of join* jvulers are doubtless aware that i'roiu the Piwmce of Auckland, New Zealand, is drawn tho supply of kauri gu-n for your niiikct. Tina gum is first carried to England, tliyfce to America, where it is manufactured into \m nisli, much of whrrh goes back aga.n to England, and some even nguin reaches New Zealand in iti manufactured slate. My object, in addressing jou is to point out to some of your enterprising gitizcns the advisability of starting at once from America m ith a plant and skilled hands for the puipo.-e of comcrhni; the gum into varnish on the spot. Coals can be procured at a low rate. Trusting that you will insert this letter.— I am, iVc., G.W. "VVaikato, New Zealand, Juno 23, 1873.
