From Our Own Correspondent
Pt. Moresby, Nov. 18.
IT is notified in the Government Gazette of November 6 that vessels arriving at a port in Papua, direct from a port in the Territory of New Guinea, shall be exempt from obtaining pratique under the Quaran tine Ordinance. This applies so long as there is no reason to suspect the presence of a quarantinable disease in the Mandated Territory.
Mr, G. H. Watson has been elected a director of Gold Mines of Papua Limited.
