Day Dawn Mine Is

Bought

Messrs. Digby and Burke Take Charge

IT is reported that the Day Dawn mine, at Edie Creek, New Guinea, has been purchased by Messrs. Wally Digby and Joe Burke, and that they are making plans to reopen and operate it.

The mine was closed down last year, when the lode disappeared. It was pro posed to operate a new treatment plant, for which a large amount of tailings was available; but, although it appeared that the treatment plant could be run at a profit, the Company had exhausted its finances, and no new capital was avail able.

Messrs. Digby and Burke are well known, practical miners: and they are likely to make a success of any opera tions they undertake.

The reopening of Day Dawn mine will be an important event for Edie Creek and Wau.

Another interesting event is the leasing of Mr. Hector Wales’s famous Cleopatra mine to Mr. Robert Syme.
