15 Kirikiri Block.

This block has not been surveyed, but probably contains about 5,000 acres. The land is not fit for agricultural purposes, and is not in favour with the gold miners. Small quantities of gold have been found in the Kirikiri River, but no claims are held within the block. The kauri timber has been sold to Mr. John Gibbons. The large reserve to the westward of the goldfield boundary contains more land than is required by the Native owners for cultivation and settlements. Any surplus would be suitable for European occupation for ordinary agricultural purposes.
