STATEMENT RELATIVE TO LAND PURCHASES, NORTH ISLAND.

Under Immigration and Public Works Acts of 1870 and 1873.

BY THE NATIVE MINISTER. Mr. Speaker,— I consider it due to the House that a statement should be made by me in reference to the expenditure of moneys authorized under the Immigration and Public Works Acts, 1870 and 1873, for the purchase of Native lands in the North Island. I think this has become necessary, as lam aware that much has been said during the recess calculated to lead to the belief that sufficient care had not been taken to guard the public interests. I hope to be able to disabuse the minds of honorable Members if they entertain such ideas, and to show that the Government have at great disadvantage endeavoured faithfully to carry out the views of the House, and have succeeded as well as could be reasonably expected. When it was decided by the General Assembly that a public estate should be acquired in the North Island for the purposes of colonization, the difficulties which had to be encountered were of no ordinary character. • From the year 1840 to 1862 the task of acquiring land from the aborigines was not so difficult, the Crown having the exclusive right of purchase. The Constitution Act maintained the right of pre-emption; but, through the action of this House, the Crown abrogated this provision of the Constitution, relinquished its right of pre-emption, and passed a law throwing open lands held by the Natives to private purchasers. Capitalists were not slow to avail them"selves of the wide field thus opened out to them of profitably investing their money, and from time to time valuable tracts of country were obtained by them. Able agents, many of them formerly officers of the Native Department, were employed. They were to be found in every district buying up the very choicest portions of the country, and year by year, through their operations, the carrying out of any large colonial scheme of land purchase was rendered more and more difficult. In the year 1870 the Immigration and Public Works policy rendered it necessary that large tracts of country should be acquired for settlement. ■ Accordingly the General Assembly voted first a sum of £200,000, and then a further sum of £500,000, to acquire land from the Natives. In undertaking this task the Government found itself with scarcely any officers of experience to carry out the delicate work of land-pxirchase negotiations. Men of ability were in the employ of the Government, but, with few exceptions, they were unacquainted with this peculiar duty, and could not therefore cope successfully with the experienced agents in the employ of capitalists to be met with in all parts of the Island. It must be remembered that lands which had passed through the Native Land Court were open to all alike —there was no exception in favour of the Government. A slight advantage only was gained by the colony under the provisions of the Immigration and Public Works Acts over lands which had not been adjudicated upon, which gave the Government protection for two years.

It was found expedient to make terms with the most active and successful of these agents, and offer them inducements to enter the Government service. Without their co-operation it was almost hopeless to carry out to a successful issue the objects this House had in view when it placed at the Government's disposal such large sums of money. Even with the assistance of these gentlemen, I have only to refer honorable Members to the Reports of the Land Purchase Officers and Agents laid on the Table of the House, to show that the difficulties which had to be encountered were of no ordinary kind, and yet the results are, I submit, on the whole very favourable to the country. It should also be remembered that the peaceful aspect of Native affairs in the North Island has tended to advance the settlement of the country, and has increased the demand for land by capitalists from the South Island and the Australian colonies. In 1873, unimproved lands could be purchased in the Waikato for prices not exceeding ten shillings per acre; the same lands cannot now be purchased under from one to two pounds per acre. Such has been the competition for land, that the agents of private parties have gone into districts proclaimed under the Immigration and Public Works Act, and have purchased choice blocks at a higher rate than the Government were offering, with the full knowledge that they had no chance of obtaining a title during the currency of the Proclamation, but trusting to make their claims good when it should lapse. I need not take up the time of the House by enlarging on this subject, but I have said enough to convince honorable Members that, in acquiring the estate which has been secured, we have had much to contend against from the competition of our own countrymen, to say nothing of the trouble and anxiety of dealing with a race so proverbially jealous and tenacious of their lands as the Natives. With these preliminary remarks, I will now give a statement of the operations respecting the purchase of lands up to the end of the past financial year. The land-purchase operations North of Auckland have been carried on by Mr. White, R.M., Mongonui; Mr. Kemp, Civil Commissioner, Auckland ; Lieut.Colonel McDonnell, Mr. Brissenden, and Mr. Preece. A return presented to Parliament last year, by command of His Excellency the Governor, showed that, in the Hokianga District —the Government had acquired by purchase 2 blocks of land, containing 11,086 acres, at a cost of £1,904 ss. 7d., or 3s. 5Jd. per acre; in the Bay of Islands District —4 blocks of land, containing 28,999 acres, at a cost of £2,965 125., or 2s. Of d. per acre ; and in the Kaipara District —6 blocks of land, containing 29,018 acres, at a cost of £2,633 19s. 6d., or Is. 9fd. per acre —making altogether 69,103 acres, and costing £7,503 17s. Id., the average price being 2s. 2d. per acre. This cost includes surveys and all incidental expenses. The return also shows that negotiations had been entered into for the further purchase of 20 blocks of land, the area of which was estimated at 248,490 acres. The amount paid on these 20 blocks was £1,207 10s. These transactions will be more easily read in the following tabular form :—

During the past financial year, in the districts of Mongonui, Bay of Islands, Ilokianga, and Whangarei, several valuable blocks of land have been acquired, in addition to those noted as transactions incomplete in the above return. The completed transactions from Ist July, 1874, to 30th June, 1875, are as follows : —ln the Mongonui District —2 blocks of land, containing 28,527 acres, at a cost of £3,728 18s. 3d., or 2s. 7sdL per acre; in the Ilokianga District —34 blocks of land, containing 131,097 acres, at a cost of £11,765 13s. 2d., or Is. 9h&. per acre ; and in the Whangarei District —3 blocks of land, containing 61,941 acres, at a cost of £6,074 14s. 6d., or Is. ll|d. per acre. The total area of land purchased during the year, North of Auckland, has been 221,565 acres; and the amount paid, including surveys and all incidental expenses, £21,569 ss. lid., being Is. ll^d. per acre. The incomplete negotiations of land purchases during the past year in the above districts may be classed, — Ist.

Lands under survey, and intended to be brought before the Land Court in September next. 4th. Lands, the surveys of which have not yet been commenced. Of the lands that have passed the Native Land Court, 10,406 acres are in the Mongonui District; 5,200 acres in the Bay of Islands District; 6,942 acres in the Hokianga District; and 82,313 acres in the Kaipara District —a total of 104,861 acres, and on which moneys amounting to £2,150 15s. lOd. have been paid. A sum of £6,075 4s. 9d. is required to complete these purchases. I know of no reason why these lands should not be acquired within the next month or two. The lands surveyed and awaiting the sittings of the Land Court at Kaihu, on the 11th of August, represent 14 blocks, having an area of 116,601 acres, and on which advances have been made to the amount of £3,996 16s. lOd. The lands are situate in Mongonui District, 11,906 acres ; Bay of Islands District, 23,974 acres; Hokianga District, 45,421 acres; and Kaipara District, 35,300 acres. The lands—ll blocks—now under survey by the Inspector of Surveys' Department, Auckland, are estimated to contain 31,000 acres. Advances have been paid on these lands amounting to £1,092 3s. 2d. The lands are situate in the Mongonui District, 17,500 acres; Bay of Islands District, 6,500 acres; Ilokianga District, 3,000 acres; and Whangarei District, 4,000 acres. The lands awaiting survey, are 13 blocks in the Bay of Islands, Hokianga, and Whangarei Districts, the estimated area being 110,800 acres. No price has yet been fixed for these lands. Advances to the amount of £636 2s. have been made to the Natives interested in them. The following form shows the transactions in the several districts North of Auckland, during the past year : —

THAMES AND PIAKO DISTRICTS. The negotiations during the past year in the Thames District carried on through Messrs. Mackay and Puckey, assisted hy Hoterene Taipari, have been mainly directed in closing up transactions entered into in 1872-73. Lands within the proclaimed gold fields, which were included in agreements made between the Natives and the Crown for gold mining purposes, and lands within the same district not subject to gold mining agreements. The lands acquired and'under negotiation in this district on the 30th June, 1874, with the cost and advances, are shown in Parliamentary Paper C. 4, of last year, as under. For the purchase of 438 acres of the Thames Foreshore, there was paid the sum of £2,941135. 6d.; and on other completed transactions over 20 blocks of land, containing *117,056 acres, payments were made amounting to £17,436135. 4d. Besides these purchases, several old claims over the Waitoa and Piako lands were settled, at a cost of £923. This payment extinguished Native claims over 31,230 acres of land. The incomplete .transactions noted in the Return represented 475,005 acres, on which advances had been made to the amount of £27,343 10s. Id. Included in this area is the Ohinemuri Block of 132,175 acres, since proclaimed a gold field, on which advances have been made by way of purchase of the sum of £12,714 14s. As however much opposition and many difficulties had to be overcome, which would lead to an indefinite delay in opening the district as a gold field, it was deemed advisable in the interests of the public to enter into an agreement with the Native owners to acquire the right of mining for gold and other minerals, besides the right to sell timber and lease lands for agricultural and other pui'poses. The advances made on account of the purchase are a first charge on the miners' rights, fees, leases, &c, arising within the block. The sum of £1,109 15s. has already been recovered. The work done in the Thames District during the past year has been the completing the purchase of 9 blocks of land, containing 35,411 acres, the total cost of which has been £4,026 12s. lid., or 2s. 3Jd. per acre (these 9 blocks have been under negotiation since 1872) ; also the purchase of 1 block, containing 245 acres, for the sum of £166 14s. The incomplete transactions to date are the purchases of 30 blocks of land, containing about 456,410 acres (these transactions were commenced in 1872-73). Payments have been made on these blocks to the amount of £30,244 9s. sd. There are also 14 other blocks of land that have been negotiated for during the past year, estimated to contain 40,251 acres, on which advances have been made to the amount of £1,027 ss. lid. In the latter area is included the Coromandel Foreshore, not yet surveyed, estimated at 1,400 acres. In addition to the above purchases, negotiations are advanced for the acquiring of land in the Patetere District, estimated to contain 249,000 acres : on this purchase payments have been made to the amount of £3,916 13s. 4d. In the Thames and Patetere Districts, the operations during the past year are shown in the form below : —

BAT OF PLENTY AND TAT7PO DISTRICTS. . Negotiating Officers — Messrs. Davis and Mitchell. The operations in this district during the past year have been confined to the completing of purchases and leases under negotiation prior to Ist July last year. The work has been much retarded, owing to tribal jealousies of the Arawa Natives, and the want of surveyors to determine the boundaries of the several blocks of land. The transactions to 30th June, 1875, are shown in the following Return : —

EAST COAST AND POVEETT BAT DISTEICT. Negotiating Officers — Mr. J. A. Wilson and Captain Porter. During the past year a large area of land has been negotiated for in this district, but, owing to the blocks not being surveyed, most of the transactions are incomplete. The Natives living between the East Cape and Poverty Bay evince a desire to sell or lease to the Crown their surplus lands, and in all probability there will be acquired, within a reasonable time, several valuable blocks suitable for pastoral and agricultural purposes. The completed transactions are—The purchase of the Tolago Bay Township block, of 252 acres, for £615 3s. Id.; and the Waihirere Quarry block, at Gisborne, of 28 acres, purchased by Mr. Locke, R.M., for a sum of £114 15s. From this latter block, stone for metalling the roads approaching Gisborne Township is now being quarried. Also, the leases of Mootu block, of 67,980 acres, for fifty years; the Waikohu Matawhai block, of 43,479 acres, for twentyfive years ; and the Eotukatuku block, of 5,600 acres, for twenty-one years. This last-named block has an extra value on account of its oil springs. The incomplete transactions have been the negotiations for the purchase of 11 blocks of land, estimated to contain 154,840 acres, on which payments have been made amounting to £3,192 lls. lid.; and leases over 13 blocks of land, estimated at 225,500 acres, on which advances have been made to the amount of £1,579 2s. WAIEOA DISTEICT. Negotiating Officer — Mr. J. P. Hamlin. In this district negotiations have been entered into for the purchase of 4 blocks of land, estimated to contain 231,000 acres ; and for the leasing of 3 blocks of land, of about 77,000 acres. These lands had been leased for twenty-one years to Europeans, who have conveyed their interests to the Government, the Native owners having also agreed to sell, after sufficient reserves are surveyed and marked off for their own use and occupation.

Mr. Locke, R.M., and Mr. J. P. Ilamlin, are in charge of land-purchase operations in this district. The transactions during the past year have been mainly the completing the purchases over blocks of land within the Seventy-Mile 15ush, the area of which is stated to be 240,537 acres. WELLINGTON PEOVINCE. During the past year the negotiations for land purchases in this province have been conducted by Mr James Booth, assisted by Mr. John Buller and Major Keepa. The transactions to 30th June, 1874, were the acquiring by purchase 29 blocks of land, containing 324,330 acres, at a cost of *£34,5G6 10s. 6d., and the negotiating for the purchase of 89 blocks, estimated to contain 433,911 acres, on which payments have been made amounting to £10,143 17s. 2d. During the past year, 1874-75, the completed transactions have been the purchase of 24 blocks, containing 105,372 acres, at a cost of £9,315 11s. 2d.

The transactions to 30th June last year were the acquiring by purchase 8 blocks of land, containing 113,870 acres, also, negotiating for the purchase of 4 blocks of land, containing about 53,000 acres, on which advances were made to the sum of £2,194 6s. sd. During the present year there has been purchased 5 blocks of land, containing 56,629 acres, making a total 170,499 acres, at a cost of £25,381195., or 2s. llf d. per acre; also negotiating for the purchase of 6 blocks of land estimated to contain 84,130 acres, on which advances have been made amounting to £674 3s. 6d. There has also been paid for the survey of the Patea River the sum of £162 Is. GENERAL SUMMARY. From this statement it will be seen that the area of land acquired by purchaes or lease since 1872, the year the Government commenced the present land purchases under "The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870," have been — Acres.

In all 4,464,344 acres, on which has been paid, including £13,135 2s. 9d. for departmental services, the sum of £118,823 Is. From these totals it will be seen that no less than 6,187,467 acres of land have been negotiated for since 1872, on which moneys have been paid amounting to £286,029 os. 2d. The total amount charged against the sums voted by Parliament for landpurchase purposes to 30th June last was referred to by my honorable colleague, the Colonial Treasurer, in his Financial Statement, as £377,059 18s. Id. Some explanation may be necessary as to the difference between this sum and that of £286,029 os. 2d., before noticed by me ajs the total payments made for actual landpurchase purposes, a difference of £75,344 4s. 6d.

The fact should also

not be lost sight of, that a large proportion of the expenses incurred by the Native Land Court have been in the investigation of title to the land purchased under the provisions of the Immigration and Public Works Acts. The Government have steadily kept in view the twofold objects of providing land for the large influx of population, and of securing those districts to the colony through which public works and undertakings are being carried on. In the consideration of this question there is another point which should be mentioned —the Government have endeavoured to acquire land in large blocks where possible. The advantage gained is obvious. But in doing so, of necessity lands of all descriptions were included. Much land fit for special settlement has been purchased. Lands supposed to be of average quality have, on closer inspection by the surveyors, turned out better than was anticipated. Reports of the surveyors have been laid on the Table of the House. A large area of land has been secured in the Taupo country, which, as every one knows who has been through that district, is generally of inferior description, but even for that there has been considerable competition. There are some valuable blocks now under negotiation, which, in the course of a few months, will be in the hands of the Government. But I would ask honorable Members, especially those of them who are not acquainted with the difficulties and the sometimes harassing work of negotiation with the Natives, to restrain impatience. Lands are now being purchased in districts where a few years ago a European could not show his face. In proof of this, I would only point to the Taranaki and Upper Whanganui Districts ; and if the Government carry on the work as they may deem safe and advisable a large colonial estate will be obtained; but if undue pressure is brought upon the Land Purchase Agents to urge on these purchases, not only will our present good understanding with the Native race be endangered, but the main object in view marred, by unwise and premature action. Negotiations of this nature can only be carried out with the intelligent assent of the Natives, and this can only be obtained when they have realized the advantages to be gained from having European settlers in their neighbourhood.
