WESTLAND LAND DISTRICT.

• Part national endowment.

LOCALITY AND DESCRIPTION.

Run 23 occupies the valleys of the Clarke and Lands-
borough Rivers. There are some open flats in the river-
beds, and the remainder of the run is bush-clad hilly
country suitable for cattle-grazing only. Access is by
Haast Pass Track, twenty-one miles from Haast Post and
Telegraph Office.

Run 46 occupies the valley of the Turnbull River, to-
gether with the open hill-tops of the Turnbull and Sel-
bourne Ranges, the altitude of which ranges from 3,500 ft.
to 6,700 ft. The Turnbull Valley comprises bush-covered
land, providing in its present state bush feed for cattle
only; while the lower portion of the open hill-tops should
provide summer grazing for sheep. Distant six miles from
Okuru Post and Telegraph Office, most of the distance
being by formed road.

Run 66 occupies the whole of the valley of the Jackson
River, together with the bush-clad slopes and open hill-
tops between the Thompson Range and the Martyr River.
There are some good river-flats and bush feed for cattle
in the Jackson Valley; but the remainder of the run is
broken hilly country, ranging in altitude up to 5,400 ft.
There is sheep-feed on some of the hill-tops, but to obtain
access is difficult, and would necessitate the cutting of
tracks. Stock could exist on the high country only during
the summer months. Distant twenty miles from Okuru
Post and Telegraph Office by pack-track, and seven miles
from Jackson's Bay boat-landing.

Run 71 occupies the open hill-tops of Mount Alexander
Range and Bryan O'Lynn, together with part of the valley
of the Kopara River. The greatest altitude on Mount
Alexander is 5,000 ft., and on Bryan O'Lynn 4,000 ft.;
both of the hills provide good summer feed for sheep.
The land in the valley of the Kopara River is all bush-
covered, and provides bush feed for cattle only. Access
is from Ahaura on the Greymouth-Reefton Railway line,
twenty-two miles by formed dray-road and two miles by
formed pack-track.

Run 84 occupies the open tops of Bald Range, Kelly's
Range, and Hunt's Ridge, together with part of the bush-
clad slopes of those ranges. The open tops carry grass
suitable for sheep-grazing, and range in altitude up to
5,600 ft. There is some cattle-feed in the creeks, but
the greater part of the run is adapted for summer country
for sheep only. That portion of the Greymouth-Otira
Railway line between Jackson's and Otira practically
skirts the run, but the best means of access is by a track
up the Seven-mile Creek, on the opposite side of the range.

Run 91 occupies the watershed of Doctor's Creek, a tri-
butary of the Hokitika River. It comprises wholly bush-
covered country, providing bush feed for cattle only.
Access is by good formed road about six miles from Koi-
terangi Post and Telegraph Office, and thence by ford
over Hokitika River.

With the exception of Run 84, the runs are offered
for sale subject to the rights of the present licensees to
valuation for improvements in terms of section 244 of the
Land Act, 1908.

There are no improvements of any considerable value
on any of the runs at present.

Purchasers will be required to pay over the amount of
valuation for improvements existing on Runs 23, 46, 66,
71, and 91 at the expiry of the present licenses before
being admitted into possession.

Possession of Run 84 will be given on the day of sale,
and of the other runs on 1st March, 1912.
