MARLBOROUGH LAND DISTRICT.

Marlborough County.—Molesworth and Leatham Survey Districts.

RUN 150 : Area, 35,224 acres. Upset annual rental, £10. Term of license : Twenty-one years.

This run is situated at the head of the Leatham River, approximately 68 miles from Blenheim by metal road for 57 miles and thence by river-bed with no road and rather difficult to negotiate as river has to be crossed numerous times.

Altitude is from 2,500 ft. to 6,982 ft. There are some good flats and undulating country in the main valley, although rather stony in patches. The area comprises 10,000 acres grazing, 8,400 acres native bush, and the balance rough, rocky gullies, ridges, and shingle-tops. The whole area is subject to heavy snow in the winter months, but it is estimated that 3,000 sheep could be carried for about nine months of the year. It would be impossible to work the area on its own but would be very suitable country for some adjoining holder. Rabbits require attention, and wild sheep, goats, and deer are in evidence.

Full particulars may be obtained at this office.
