'"PHE power plant installed by Tavua Power Pty. Ltd. to supply electricity to the principal mines on the Tavua gold field, Fiji, is now operating successfully, said Mr. William Hooper-Simpson, on his arrival in Sydney from the Colony in April. Mr. Hooper-Simpson had been prospecting for gold for some time on both Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

The whole installation comprises a Diesel air compressor set and three Diesel generating sets, he added.

Mr. Hooper-Simpson, who recently completed a contract with Mt. Kasi Mines Ltd., left Sydney shortly after his arrival for Albury, N.S.W., to spend a few months’ holiday.
