New Gold Find?

Interest in Wampit Valley, N.G.

From a Special Correspondent WAU, Dec. 1.

THERE has been much interest here in the report of an important new find of gold in the Wampit valley, near Gurakor, at the northern end of the Morobe gold field. Several men have gone out, but re liable information is lacking.

The Wampit is a small tributary of the Markham river. It flows parallel with the Watut River, another tributary, from which it is separated by a mountain range. The shape of the Wampit valley suggests that, if there is gold there, it should provide a wonderful catchment.
