5 Tiki or Ngaurukehu Block.

This consists of two pieces of land granted to Natives, and known as the Waiau No. 1, and Motutere; the former contains 1,098 acres, and the latter 240 acres. These are separated by a piece about 600 acres, granted to the late Mr. W. B. Moore. There is no land on this block suitable for agricultural purposes; there is some good kauri timber on it, and several gold-mining claims have been and are now successfully worked within its limits. The owners are not inclined to sell their land, and, from the known value of the Waiau No. 1 portion, a large price would in any case be demanded.
