Papua-N.G. Air Mails.

From Our Own Correspondent.

Pt. Moresby, Feb. 8.

THE air mail service between Port Moresby and Wau, which will com mence with the February “Macdhui” mail, will mean a saving of almost two weeks for mails between Australia and the New Guinea goldfields.

Previously mails for the fields were taken by steamer to Salamaua, whence they were taken to the field by air.

Lately letters from the gold fields have been brought by ’plane and posted in Pt.

Moresby. ’Planes from Wau have been meeting steamers to and from Sydney at Port Moresby for some time.
