Morobe Goldfields

Comprehensive Map Published

FOR quite a time, there has been a demand for a comprehensive map of the Morobe Goldfields, Mandated Territory of New Guinea.

Such a map has been now published by Messrs. H. E. C. Robinson Ltd., of Sydney.

Mining companies, prospectors and in fact, everybody interested in this rich field will find the map invaluable.

It shows the roads, tracks and air routes from Salamoa and Lae to the field. Also included are gold areas declared, aerodromes, native villager mission stations, anchorages, dredging areas, reefing areas, wireless stations and various other information.

The scale of the map—two miles to the inch —has allowed of very great detail being shown.

The price of the map ranges from 10s. on paper to 15s. on cloth, with spring rollers.

A native hospital has been estab lished by the Methodist Mission at Siwai, Bougainville. There is a medi cal orderly—a native of the Solomon Islands —in charge.

The New Guinea Administration steam yacht, Franklin, has returned to Rabaul, after overhaul in Sydney. The Franklin towed a new schooner, which has been purchased by the Administra tion for work at the out-stations
