From Our Own Correspondent.

Noumea, Feb. 4.

The Australian mining syndicate which held an option over the Sunshine Mine at Bomber, owned by Mr. Griffiths, has taken it up. It is understood that a company with 250,000 shares will be formed immediately to develop it.

For some time Mr. Griffiths has re ceived handsome offers for his mine, but feeling confident that it was exceptionally good, he held on to it.

The chrome on the dome of this mine is on the surface, and only needs a pick and shovel to develop it. Mr. Griffiths declares that it is even better below, and that three great spurs of pure chrome jut out on the far side of the mountain.
