Mcmaster, John , Farmer, Arrow Junction Farm, Arrowtown. Mr McMaster was born in 1856, in Dunedin, attended school at Brighton, and was brought up to farming. He worked for eighteen months in the Oamaru district, before going to Lake Wakatipu, and shortly after his arrival there, bought a threshing mill, which he has worked since 1884. In 1897, Mr McMaster purchased his present farm of 392 acres of freehold, which he has greatly improved.
