Bulolo’s Operations.

From Our Own Correspondent.

WAU, July 2.

WORK on the second dredge at Bulolo is going on apace and it will be in operation very soon. The im provements to the first dredge have re sulted in better recoveries.

Flying conditions have been very bad for the last couple of months, but, for tunately, the Bulolo Co. had landed at the field all necessary material for the second dredge before weather condi tions hindered flying and no delay has been caused to the work.

Permanent staff quarters are being erected, and altogether the company is in a very happy position for carrying on its operations,

New Guinea Goldfields, Ltd.

New Guinea Goldfields, Ltd. have been testing the power house at Kunai Creek, near Wau, for the last week or so, and have called tenders for con tracts for the supply of firewood. Tests have been successful and power is being run through to Edie Creek, and everything is ready for the supply of power to the Golden Ridges mill, as soon as it is completed.

Large quantities of galvanised pipes are being landed at Wau for the sluic ing plant to be put in at Golden Ridges to remove the over-burden from the ground, which is to be worked by open cut, and the mill should be in opera tion within the next month. The whole field is looking forward to the results of the first crushing from this area.

At Edie Creek, the alluvial is being worked by the company with hydraulic elevators and good returns are being obtained.

New Mill For Day Dawn.

Day Dawn (New Guinea) Ltd. con tinue to work three shifts and returns are still up to the original estimate.

The company is putting in a second mill and will thereby double the output, which should result in handsome divi dends.
