First Shipment from Mt. Kasi.

THE first gold exported from Fiji was shipped from Suva by the “Monterey” on August 12. It comprised 143 ounces of fine gold from Mt. Kasi, in the Yanawai district, in the south-western portion of Vanna Levu.

A small Fiji syndicate, headed by Mr.

A. O. Mackenzie, has been exploiting this field for some time. Messrs. Collie and Cameron, with 10 Europeans and 20 Fijians, are in charge of the mine, which is in difficult country, about 1,300 feet above sea-level, looking out over Savu Savu Bay.
