  • TE AROHA in the 1890S Philip Hart
    TE AROHA IN THE 1890s Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 115 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 TE AROHA IN THE 1890s Abstract: During the 1890s the town slowly increased in size and became economically stronger despite mining, for most of this decade, no longer flourishing. Other occupations became more important, with farming and tending to the needs of tourists being pre-eminent. Residents continued to grumble over the need for improvements, the cost of housing, high rents, and a poor system of tenure, but the establishment of a borough meant that some more improvements could be provided. As the town developed the poor- quality buildings hastily erected in its early days were seen as disfiguring it, and gradually the streets and footpaths were improved. As previously, storms and fires were notable experiences, the latter revealing the need for a water supply and fire fighting equipment. And also as previously, there were many ways to enliven small town life in mostly respectable ways, notably the library, clubs, sports, horse racing, the Volunteers, and entertainments of all kinds, details of which illustrate the texture of social life. Despite disparaging remarks by outsiders, living at Te Aroha need not be as dull as was claimed. POPULATION The census taken on 5 April 1891 recorded 615 residents, 307 males and 308 females, in the town district.1 The electoral roll of June revealed that miners remained the largest group: 19, plus two mine managers.

  • The Te Aroha Battery, Erected in 1881
    THE TE AROHA BATTERY, ERECTED IN 1881 Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 72 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 THE TE AROHA BATTERY, ERECTED IN 1881 Abstract: As a local battery was a basic requirement for the field, after some proposals came to nothing a meeting held in January 1881 agreed to form a company to erect and operate one. Although prominent members of the new field were elected as provisional directors, raising capital was a slow process, as many potential investors feared to lose their investments. Once two-thirds of the capital was raised, the Te Aroha Quartz Crushing Company, formed in February, was registered in April. Its shareholders came from a wide area and had very varied occupations. A reconditioned battery, erected in what would become Boundary Street in Te Aroha, was opened with much festivity and optimism in April. It was handicapped by a lack of roads from the mines and insufficient water power, and when the first crushing made the poverty of the ore very apparent it closed after working for only two months. Being such a bad investment, shareholders were reluctant to pay calls. Sold in 1883 but not used, after being sold again in 1888 its machinery was removed; the building itself was destroyed in the following year in one of Te Aroha’s many gales. PLANNING TO ERECT A BATTERY Without a local battery, testing and treating ore was difficult and expensive, and the success or otherwise of the goldfield remained unknown.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • The Geology of the Te Aroha Mining District
    THE GEOLOGY OF THE TE AROHA MINING DISTRICT Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 2 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 THE GEOLOGY OF THE TE AROHA MINING DISTRICT Abstract: When gold was discovered on the slopes of Te Aroha mountain, its geology was unknown to geologists and miners alike. After initial hasty examinations, later investigations produced more reliable details, and by late in the twentieth century much more detailed and technical information was available. Originally, prospectors hoped to find alluvial gold, but instead discovered that, through volcanic action, the minerals permeated the quartz. Despite intensive prospecting, payable ore was rarely found. At Waiorongomai, the large main lode was mostly a buck reef, the best patches of ore being found where it abutted side reefs. Hopes for a prosperous field soon faded because the various battery processes were unable to treat the ore profitably, a failure largely explained by its poverty and complexity. The output from the Te Aroha district proved to be one of the lowest of the Hauraki fields. PUZZLING OVER THE ORE According to the government geologist, Alexander McKay,1 On the discovery of gold at the Thames many who were not miners in any sense of the term had to engage in the active work of mining or necessarily abandon their holdings; but as usually an experienced miner formed one of the party, or the service of such might be engaged, under such conditions mining was carried on till definite registered companies directed by an experienced manager were formed.

  • Revolting Murder at Te Aroha’ in 1881
    ‘REVOLTING MURDER AT TE AROHA’ IN 1881 Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 29 Revised on July 08, 2019 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 ‘REVOLTING MURDER AT TE AROHA’ IN 1881 Abstract: The brutal murder of Hamiona Haira, who had been mining with his two brothers and his father-in-law, shocked the new settlement. Being a member of Ngati Koi and Ngati Hako, these hapu threatened utu on the Pakeha responsible, causing both Maori and Pakeha miners to abandon their claims at Tui. Suspicion immediately fell on John Procoffy, a Finn, and evidence was quickly collected, officials being anxious to obtain a speedy conviction to avoid an innocent Pakeha being killed in revenge. Rangatira agreed to let the courts deal with the case, although some Pakeha criticized the government for being too anxious to appease Maori. After a coroner’s inquest, which included Maori as members of the jury, returned a verdict of murder by ‘person or persons unknown’, Procoffy faced two trials. As the prosecution was handicapped by the limitations of contemporary forensic skills, its case was largely circumstantial. Although the police were certain they had their murderer, others were not convinced, and there was a reluctance to convict because of the death penalty. The final outcome was a verdict of not guilty, which, as was pointed out, should have been ‘not proven’. Procoffy fled the country. His acquittal was accepted by Maori leaders, and calm returned to Te Aroha.

  • Fonterra Limited Submission on Proposed Plan Change 2 to the Hamilton District Plan
    Submission 46 FONTERRA LIMITED SUBMISSION ON PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 2 TO THE HAMILTON DISTRICT PLAN To: Hamilton City Council SUBMITTER: FONTERRA LIMITED Contact: Brigid Buckley National Policy Manager – Global Operations Address for Fonterra Limited Service: C/- Russell McVeagh 48 Shortland Street PO Box 8 / DX CX10085 Attn: Daniel Minhinnick T +64 9 367 8000 E [email protected] Fonterra wishes to be heard in support of this submission. Fonterra could not gain an advantage in trade competition through this submission. If others make a similar submission, Fonterra would consider presenting a joint case with them at any hearing. Submission on Proposed Plan Change 2 to the Hamilton District Plan Fonterra Limited (29 November 2017) 3426325 2 1. SUMMARY 1.1. Fonterra Limited ("Fonterra") supports the creation of vibrant and dynamic communities within Hamilton City. In order to realise this, it is important that the City’s urban environment is underpinned by a strong economic base with ample and diverse employment opportunities for both existing and future residents. Therefore, it is important that growth in Hamilton does not: compromise the long-term strategic planning framework for Hamilton City and the wider Waikato Region; or allow incompatible activities to locate in close proximity to each other, leading to risk of conflict between land uses, including exposing sensitive uses (e.g. residential or visitor accommodation) to the effects generated by heavy industrial uses; or compromise Hamilton City Council's ("Council") existing and planned investment in road, rail and three-waters infrastructure (and associated capital commitments), which is likely to result in an additional and unforeseen burden to the Council and ratepayers.
