Result of First Crushing

NEWS has been received in Sydney that as a result of a week’s crush ing, the mill of Day Dawn (New Guinea) Ltd., on the Morobe gold fields, treated 216 tons of ore, for a yield of 414 ounces of gold.

For some time, small crushings had been carried out, but this return is the first from a week of normal crushing operations.

It is expected that 1,000 tons a month will be now treated by the mill.

This crushing plant is the first to operate on the New Guinea goldfields and the initial results must be con sidered very satisfactory.
