Goldfield
From Our Own Correspondent
Pt. Moresby, Sept. 25.
■"PHE few miners left on the Lakekamu * goldfield, Papua, are now well scat tered, being from 15 to 30 miles distant from one another, and there is little com munication between them.
Two men are doing well —Mr. A. E.
Bethune and Captain G. F. W. Zimmer (formerly of the magisterial service).
Captain Zimmer is at Goose Creek —and it is reported that the proverbial goose is maintaining its reputation. Mr.
Bethune’s claim is at Sunset Creek.
Mr. J. Nason-Jones stuck to the field for a long time, in spite of much dis couragement, but it is reported that he has now abandoned his holding and has gone over to the Mandated Territory, to the Morobe field.
Rev. Simeon Hanoia, a young Tongan probationer of the Methodist Mission, has been accepted for Papuan mission work.
