DESCRIPTION.

Conical Hills Settlement is situated less than a mile to the north of the Township of Waipahi, and has frontages on its eastern boundary to the Waipahi and Pomahaka Rivers. The land lies at an altitude of from 400 ft., to 1,300 ft., and is mixed agricultural and pastoral land of fair to good quality, mostly on a light clay subsoil. The property has been for many years worked as a sheep farm. From time to time the late owner, Mr. Watson Shennan, has broken up and laid down in grass about half the area which now lies in pasture of various ages, some old requiring renewing, and some only in the second year, while a few hundred acres are in fallow. In process of bringing the land into grass very good crops of wheat, oats, and turnips have been taken off the ground. The unploughed land is well clothed with white and red tussock, and a considerable portion may be ploughed. The greater part of the settlement has a good warm aspect, though the southern portion is somewhat exposed to the south-west. Generally speaking the settlement is well watered, and there is a good rainfall. Lignite of good quality is obtainable on the property. The means of access by road and rail are particularly good. The railway-stations of Waipahi, Arthurton, and Pukerau on the main south line are respectively half a mile, two miles, and two miles distant, while the Waipahi-Tapanui line runs along the eastern boundary, Conical Hills Station being on the settlement, and Pomahaka Station a mile and a half distant by first-class road. There are schools and post and telegraph offices at Waipahi, Arthurton, Pukerau, and Waikoi, the latter place being two miles distant by good road. There is also a post and telegraph office at Pomahaka. A school-site in a central position has been reserved, also a site for creamery adjacent to the Conical Hills Railway-station.
