Gold In New Ireland

From Our Own Correspondent.

Rabaul, June 30.

THE latest gold find to be reported in New Guinea is in Tatau Island, in the Tabar group, off the east coast of New Ireland.

For some considerable period, local residents have been working certain areas and obtaining small results. Recently, however, better indications were discovered, and last week there was quite a rush from Kavieng township and the neighbourhood generally.

Up to the present the area has not been proclaimed, as a qualified warden has not yet visited the field.

The site of the find is reported in easily accessible country, and close to a good anchorage.
