Vanikoro Timber Co.

Active

After a period of dull business, the re sult of the depression, the timber company which procures and exports the magni ficent kauri timber on the island of Vani koro, Santa Cruz Group, British Solomon Islands, has entered upon a new period of activity. No milling is done in the Group —the logs are taken from the forests and sent in irregular shipments to Sydney, where they are milled. A cargo of kauri logs arrived in Sydney early in January.

Five Europeans went to Vanikoro by a recent steamer to augment the white staff there.
