Near Suva

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, October 23.

REPORTS have reached Suva that a silver lode has been discovered by pros pectors about four miles from the capital.

Surface indications are that it is rich. It is doubtful, however, if a lease can be granted as the lode is situated within Suva’s water catchment area and no other suitable water supply is available.

Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Lawton arrived in Sydney from Norfolk Island by the Morinda on October 21. Mr. Lawton has been stationed on N.I. for the Melanesian Mission since 1933.
