These men have arranged with the Natives, and for a small consideration are permitted to dig over Native land. Tho Natives, however, produce more gum in the same time than the Europeans, but we presume the latter will become more expert. Our informant states that there appears to bo an unlimited supply of gum, and that all the unemployed men in Auckland might find profitable work digging for it. Certainly, at present rates, it is far more profitable than gold digging.
