Tulagi, Dec. 1.
THE old scepticism with which mining ventures have been looked on, especi ally by local wiseacres, is giving way under the continued interest being taken by out side capital.
It is recognised that work is in the stages of investigation, even now, but it felt that there must be something worth investigation.
The efforts of the residents of the Solo mons, who grdped for the gold, the exist ence of which they were confident of, and endured ridicule, are now justified to the extent that worth-while minerals are indi cated.
A few months should prove, one way or the other, whether there really, is gold in the Solomons.
