Dysentery at Edie Creek.

From Our Own Correspondent.

WAU, July 2.

THE dysentery outbreak which com menced at Edie Creek some three or four months ago, has not yet been wiped out, although cases are now very few.

By the foresight of the Administra tion medical authorities in isolating the Edie Creek area, the outbreak has been confined to that section of the field, and no great hardship has been imposed on any of the miners in the district.

Europeans can still travel between Edie Creek and the various parts of the field, but natives are confined to a small area at Edie Creek. There is now no danger of the outbreak spreading.
