on New Guinea Goldfield

The first gold-mining camp established on the Bulolo, by the late Mr. C. J. When he resigned from the Government service, some six or seven years ago, to try his fortune on the field, he was a poor man. When he died suddenly last month he was very wealthy. This photograph (taken several years ago by Mr. H. L. Downing) shows where Mr. Levien commenced operations and the heavy forest which guarded the hidden gold. Mr. Levien is seen standing near the corner of the hut.
