His father was notable as one of the most loyal rangatira (from the Crown’s perspective) in Hauraki, and Reha followed his lead, probably in part because of the financial rewards he received from selling land to settlers. He tried to maximize his income from this source, spending several years pleading for permission to sell his Te Kawana block (near Te Aroha). After opposing Ngati Haua ambitions to acquire the Aroha block, by 1878 he was willing to encourage road building. Reha was regularly before the courts because of his inability or reluctance to pay his debts, occasionally perjuring himself to avoid liability. In his later years he had little money. Despite occasionally being drunk and even violent, he was an important figure in Maori society, with a leadership role in his hapu and in the Mormon church. He was also notable for his marital complications. ANCESTRY AND FAMILY Reha Aperahama (always referred to as Reha) and his brother Aihe Pepene1 (referred to here as Pepene) had an illustrious whakapapa. In 1868, their father, Aperahama Te Reiroa, provided details of his immediate ancestry to the land court when applying for Kauaeranga No.

Miners had a good reputation for being hard workers and, especially in the early days before companies controlled the fields, for being rugged individualists, restlessly rushing to new discoveries and improvident whenever they had any money. Quartz miners, unlike alluvial ones, were more likely to be settled, living with their families in mining settlements. Many quartz miners did not follow this occupation for all of their lives. Examples are given of amateurs seeking riches but not really knowing how to mine profitably. In Hauraki, miners had to cope with heavy bush and rugged topography, with all the dangers this implied. Working underground required a range of skills, and was intrinsically dangerous, unhealthy, and exhausting. Accidents – especially when using explosives – could be fatal. Money to assist injured miners was raised by their mates in pre-social security days.. Miners had to cope with wet mines, acidic water, gas, and even heat, all of which could be mitigated but not avoided; to minimize the number of accidents, good timbering was insisted upon by mining inspectors. All miners had to endure monotonous work, enlivened by practical jokes.

Malcolm Hardy and those associated with him are covered in another paper. In some cases a mini-biography can be given, but usually the available information permits only a skeletal outline of their lives. Few had experience of mining, and in almost all cases their prospecting or investing reflected a desperate attempt to make some money at a time of considerable financial hardship. Their often feeble attempts at prospecting or arranging for prospecting to be done produced no new discoveries and no ore of any value. Their lives and details of the extent of their involvement in mining are dealt with in alphabetical order.

Included are the dates stations were opened for goods and or passenger traffic before the lines were officially opened or handed over to the Working Railways Department. Often the Public Works Department would run goods and passenger services whilst the list was still in their custody. These services were operated by the Public Works Department's ballast engine. Goods were carried in Working Railway's wagons. Occasionally a passenger car or covered wagon fitted with seats were provided, but most times passengers were carried in Public Works' ballast wagons. I have included the stations on the lines owned by the government railways, and private lines where government rolling stock was run thereon. This is an on-going work as I am still looking through files and am finding more names and other information to include in this document. Revised versions will be issued from time to time, the frequency depending upon the new information I find.

    Report on the Animals Within the Taramakau Catchment

    REPORT ON THE ANIMALS WITHIN THE TARAMAKAU CATCHMENT By L.W. Best and P.S. Crosier Protection Forestry Branch Report No. 74 Copy No. Date: February 1970 Protection Forestry Branch, Forest & Range Experiment Station, RANGIORA. s ) 1. REPORT ON THE ANIMALS WITHIN THE TARAMAKAU CATCHMENT FOREWORD Authorship of this report warrants a brief comment. Technician L.W. Best managed the field survey, made the first analysis of data, and wrote the first draft of a report. He then resigned to take a position with C.S.I.R.O. in Australia. At this time it was decided to include parts of reports written by Scientists C.N. Challies, on condition of deer, and I.L. James (F. & R.E.S., Napier), on correlation of opossums with damage in forest canopies, because these were very pertinent to the objects of the survey. It thereby became necessary to assign a new face to the tasks of writing­ up, collating the different MSS, and checking all the records and computations. This was undertaken by Philip S. Crosier, a Zoology student at University of Canterbury, who had been employed on the survey, during November-December 1969. In addition, the contributions of R.E. Lambert, J.T. Martin, M.J. Barnett and I.G. Douglas of the Animal Research Section warrant a special word of appreciation, as does the co-operation, advice and helpful criticism from J.A. Wardle, J. Hayward and G.R. Evans, who managed the vegetation surveys. C.L. Batcheler Head, Animal Research Section, Rangiora. 2. SUMMARY 1. A survey was undertaken in the Taramakau catchment to determine the status of red deer (Cervus elaphus), chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), opossum (Trichosurus vulpecula), and hares (Lepus europeaus) in Protection Forestry planning.

    James Alexander Pond: an Auckland Chemist Involved in Mining

    JAMES ALEXANDER POND: AN AUCKLAND CHEMIST INVOLVED IN MINING Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 59 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 JAMES ALEXANDER POND: AN AUCKLAND CHEMIST INVOLVED IN MINING Abstract: Born in London, James Alexander Pond arrived in New Zealand at the age of 18. With a background in chemistry, he was interested in scientific topics from an early age. Although his first experience of life in the colony was as a small farmer, from 1868 onwards he was involved in mining, first at Thames, an involvement that would continue for the rest of his life. After becoming a chemist in Auckland in the 1860s, he was appointed a public analyst two decades later. From the 1880s onwards he was involved in a wide range of scientific investigations, and was active in the New Zealand and Auckland Institutes. Much of his research was intended to assist farmers. He invented a butter box that was so successful that his patent was stolen in Victoria, and the private company that manufactured them was very profitable. Like others with fond memories of ‘Home’, he assisted acclimatization. One of his many scientific interests was geology, which involved his assaying ore and assisting mining on many fields; he was an early enthusiast for the use of cyanide in treating ore. From 1880 onwards he was associated, on and off, with mining in the Te Aroha district, analyzing its ore, being consulted about treatment processes, and from 1888 onwards acquiring interests in claims.
