Macfarlane, James Chicago, Civil Engineer and Authorised Surveyor, Hampden Street, Hokitika. Mr. Macfarlane is a son of the late Mr. D. Macfarlane, sometime Stipendiary Magistrate for Westland, and was born in Chicago, and educated at Hokitika, where he joined the Survey Department as a cadet. He made considerable progress, passed his examinations with credit, became a duly qualified and authorised surveyor, and eventually set up in business on his own account. Mr. Macfarlane is familiar with the whole of the Westland pro- vince, and has been connected with all the principal mining ventures. He has also been associated with large tunnelling works and syphons for bringing in the water to the goldfields, and he is well and favourably known for the thoroughness of his work generally. In sporting circles, cycling, football, and cricket he has taken more than a passing interest.
