Dredging In Papua

It is reported that that enterprising gold prospector and organiser, Mr. Ward Williams, has arranged for the construc tion of a light dredge which will be oper ated on the Yodda field in Papua, and that the equipment will be sent in at an early date by aeroplanes for erection there.

We hear that excellent progress has been made with the erection of the light dredge on the Lakekamu, at the other end of Papua.

Very many persons and companies are watching the experiments with these light dredges, with the keenest interest. If they are successful, there is no doubt that several promising gold shows will be worked with this equipment in isolated parts of New Guinea and Papua.
