BENDIGO MINES LTD., of Victoria, for some months past, have been making exhaustive tests of rock drills with a view to selecting the most efficient and economical machines for their requirements. As a result of these tests, they recently placed an order for 15 Gardner - Denver Model D 79 drifters and four Model 77H stopers.

Tests such as these taken in conjunction with similar results obtained by the El Potosi Mining Co., Mexico, demonstrate that Gardner-Denver equipment has the requisite qualities necessary to meet the exacting working conditions obtaining \in the Pacific Islands mining industry.

The Noyes Bros, organisations in Sydney and Melbourne are sole agents for Gardner-Denver drills, stopers, drifters, pavement breakers, drill sharpeners and portable air compressor units. They will be glad to supply all details and technical in formation.—*** Mr. Trevor W. Wignall, surveyor in the Lands Department of Fiji, has been spending furlough in Sydney with his wife.
