Two New Stores For
From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, Oct. 12.
The effect of the mining activities at Misima is noticeable in the general air of expectancy in Samarai.
Large numbers of natives are being signed on for work at the mines and the small vessels here are busily employed, carrying cargo and mining machinery to the island. The developmental work of the different companies progresses and new men are arriving by each steamer from Australia.
A notice informs the public that the Hon. A. H. Bunting has had plans and specifications prepared for the erection of a large general store and a separate store for natives at Misima Island. This clearly indicates that Misima’s future prosperity is not merely a rumour.
