GROVE, DANIEL, reported for Wellington provincial government on a prospecting expedition in Wairarapa. Moving to the Thames, he represented Thames Goldfields in the Auckland Provincial Council (1869-70). He was a strenuous advocate of improved mining laws and the creation of a mining board for the Thames. In 1872 he left Auckland province and continued mining surveys in the south.
