Sirs,— Red Hill, Te Kopuru, Northern Wairoa, 13th June 1914. I have only lived at Red Hill about two and a half years, so I am enclosing a list of gum sent to and sold in Auckland for that time Most of it was sent, to Mr. S. Rawmsley, Auckland. Most of the gum was bought below Te Kopuru, Northern Wairoa, and about £12,000 worth, as near as I can tell, was bought from private lands, and the balance from gum reserves. 1912, £6,300; 1913, £8,520; 1914, £6,960; and 200 sacks in Auckland that I have not had the returns for. Hoping this will meet your requirements. lam sorry that this was not attended to before, but I w-as in Auckland. I remain, The Royal Commission on Gum Lands. Frank Martinovich.
