The Wewak “Rush”

From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Dec. 6.

SEVERAL firms have been investigating the trading possibilities of the new goldfields at Wewak. If the present number of miners remain, big business should be done, and it will be a matter of the “early bird catching the worm.”

There is a good deal of the “wait and see” attitude prevailing about Wewak at the moment. Although only a few miners have returned to Wau, it would seem that the area is definitely a prospecting one at the moment, and that no exceptional values have been found.
