SCHEDULE.

CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT. — WAIMATE COUNTY. — SMALL
GRAZING-RUN No. 66.

First-class Pastoral Country.

This run is situated on the slopes of the Station Peak
Range, which extends from the junction of the Hakatara-
mea and Waitaki Rivers to the north branch of the Waihao
River. It comprises high open hill country, the spurs
being intersected by deep rough gullies, making the block
in general difficult of access. The country is throughout of
purely pastoral character, the vegetation consisting of native
and English grasses with snow-grass only on the higher
altitudes; it is fairly well watered by springs and streams,
but is liable to burn up in a dry season, and, as the elevation
ranges from about 1,000 ft. up to 3,500 ft. above sea-level,
it is liable to heavy falls of snow in winter.

The run faces the Waitaki River, about eight miles south-
easterly from the Hakataramea Railway-station; the dis-
tance from Waimate being about twenty-three miles, and
from Hakataramea about fourteen miles.

The run is weighted with the valuation of £468 10s.
for good six-roomed dwellinghouse, yards, boundary and
subdivision fencing, and surface-sowing.

Possession of the run will be given to the successful
applicant for the same as soon as the application has been
approved by the Land Board, and the necessary deposit and
valuation paid.

CONDITIONS OF LEASE.

1. The term of lease is twenty-one years, with the option
   of renewal for a further period of twenty-one years, at a rent
   to be fixed by valuation, and improvements being secured to
   lessee as provided by “The Land Act, 1892,” section 182.
