Two for New Guinea

Rabaul, July 7.

M.V. Carisso, due at Salamoa on July 20. is bringing from San Francisco the complete machin ery for the first dredge to be installed by Bulolo Gold Dredging Ltd., on its New Guinea property.

The machinery for the second dredge is to be shipped from San Francisco about September. It is, therefore, hoped that both dredges will be in operation early in 1932.

The dredge hulls, built in Sydney, have been already shipped to New Guinea and are at present being trans ported to the field by ’plane. The erection of the first dredge, as stated elsewhere, was commenced on June 22.
