Crown Lands Notices.

Rural Lands open for Sale or Selection.

District Land and Survey Office,
Wellington, 21st January, 1892.

THE under-mentioned Crown lands will be open for sale or selection, in terms of sections 3 to 11 of “The Land Act Amendment Act, 1887,” either for cash, on deferred payments, or for perpetual lease, at the option of the selector, on and after Tuesday, the 15th March, 1892, when the first applicant on any tenure will be entitled to the area applied for:—

FIRST-CLASS UNSURVEYED LAND.
Mount Baker Block.—Wairarapa North County.—Mangaone Survey District.

Bounded towards the north by the Mangaone Block; towards the east by the Pioneer Farm-homestead Association Block; towards the south by the Mangamahoe Road; and towards the west by the Mangaoronga and Mount Bowen Roads.

This block is situated between Eketahuna and Alfredton, and lies between the main road connecting the aforesaid townships and the Mangamahoe Road. The area comprises generally hilly country, steep and broken in places, intersected by gullies which occasionally merge into flats; the soil varies from fair to good, and the block is watered by numerous small streams. The country is all under forest, consisting chiefly of tawa, rata, rimu, tawhero, matai, miro, rewarewa, manuka, hinau, &c., and the usual undergrowth. The land when cleared and laid down in grass should be well adapted for pastoral purposes. The access from Eketahuna is by the Eketahuna-Alfredton dray-road, distance about eight miles, and from the Mangamahoe Railway-station by the Mangamahoe horse-road.

The general elevation of the country is about 1,000ft. above sea-level. The climate is mild; average rainfall plentiful, and well distributed throughout the year.

It is proposed to widen for dray-traffic the Mangamahoe Road to its intersection with Baker Road, a distance of about four miles, and to open for horse-traffic the Mangaoronga Road, between Mangamahoe and Bowen Roads; Barton’s line, as far north as Section No. 14; and the Baker and Maungatakato Roads for their entire length, as well as funds will permit, 6s. per acre having been added to the prices for this purpose.
