Description of Runs.

186D : Splendidly grassed land. Altitude, from 1,300 ft. to 1,700 ft. More than half the area has a north-east aspect, and consists of warm ridges and gullies, which provide safe lambing-country. A fairly large portion could be successfully cultivated. The soil of this run is good, and there is a plentiful supply of water. Distant from Outram Railway-station about seventeen miles. The improvements, valued at £62 11s., consist of half north-west boundary-fencing, 138 chains; and half south boundary-fencing, 59 chains.

186E : Very good sheep country; splendidly grassed and watered. A large portion of the area may be cultivated, and the soil is good throughout. The faces above Lee Stream are well sheltered and warm and provide suitable lambing-ground. Distance from Outram Railway-station, about fourteen miles. The improvements, valued at £62 6s., consist of half of part of the east boundary-fencing, 32 chains, and half fencing on south boundary, 181 chains.

Run 186 : Very fair pastoral country, with an elevation ranging from 1,300 ft. to 2,000 ft. About one-third of the area lies to the sun, the remainder having a south-westerly aspect. Well watered, and contains a very good sole of native grass and tussock. An area lying between Commonage Creek and the east boundary could be cultivated. Situated about two miles from Waipori School and Post-office, and about sixteen miles from Outram and Lawrence. The improvements, valued at £191 16s. 6d., consist of half north boundary-fencing, 177 chains; half west boundary-fencing, 110 chains; half east boundary-fencing, 118 chains; and half south boundary-fencing, 178 chains.

Run 186A : High pastoral country, reaching an altitude of 2,400 ft.; well watered and well grassed. The slopes towards the Lee Stream are well sheltered and warm, and would probably provide the necessary lambing-country. The greater part of the area has a northerly or an easterly aspect. Distance from Outram Railway-station, twenty to twenty-one miles. The improvements, valued at £84 11s. 6d., consist of half north boundary-fencing, 179 chains; and half west boundary-fencing, 66 chains.

186B : Well-grassed country, with, generally speaking, an eastern aspect. The faces lying towards the Lee Stream are well sheltered and warm, and would probably provide lambing-ground as well as a few paddocks for cultivation. Distance from Outram Railway-station, about eighteen miles. There is a fine sole of native grasses and a good supply of water. The improvements, valued at £58 16s., consist of half fencing on west boundary, 70 chains; half fencing on east boundary, 64 chains; and a hut.

186C : This run has rather a poor aspect, the greater part of the area lying to the south-west. It is, however, clean healthy country, well watered, and situated about eighteen miles from Outram. The improvements, valued at £120 9s., consist of half fencing on west boundary, 60 chains; half fencing on east boundary, 62 chains; half fencing on south boundary, 164 chains; subdivisional fencing, 40 chains; and sheep-yards.
