Out of 15cwt. of ore sent recently by Mr. Pat Costello to Australia to be crush ed, over 37ozs. of gold were produced. The value, in Australian currency, was £ 306.

The directing force behind this inter esting development of the Fiji gold in dustry is Mr. E. G. Theodore, formerly Federal Treasurer in Australia.
