To Start In March Epoch-Marking Event for N. Guinea
THE stage is fast being set on the New Guinea goldfield for the commencement of dredging by the No. 1 dredge of Bulolo Gold Dredging Co.
Ltd. early in March.
All the machinery for this dredge and also for the company’s power house was landed by plane on the field by January 4. The dredge will be the first in the world to have been trans ported to its field of operation by plane, and this alone speaks volumes for the organising ability and enterprise of the company. The whole installation is well up to schedule.
By the January Sierra, Mr. Frank W. Griffin, a director of the company, arrived from the U.S.A., and he is proceeding to the field by the Montoro, on February 3, to supervise the final work of construction. He is accom panied by his son, Mr. Frank F. Grif fin.
Another arrival by the Sierra was Mr. L. V. Waterhouse, also a director of the company, who returned to Syd ney from a health and business trip to the States. His many friends in New Guinea will be pleased to know that he is very fit again. Mr. Waterhouse is also leaving for the field by the Mon toro.
It is expected that Brig.-General A.
E. Wisdom, Administrator of New Guinea, will be present at the official opening of the Bulolo No. 1 dredge, which will mark the beginning of a new epoch on the New Guinea gold fields.
