The New Wewak Goldpield

From Our Own Correspondent.

WAU, Nov. 28.

A RUSH trip from Wewak to Wau was made this month by Mr. R. N.

Glasson. He returned, as a plane passen ger, with Ray Parer.

Messrs, Glasson and Ifould have dis posed of their store at Boram. Mr. Glas f'On reports that the Wewak fields is not “excellent”, but several are knocking more than wages out of their claims, and business seems to be brisk with the firms established there.

Ray Parer is “digging his heels into the flying game” on the Wewak field, and seems to be getting his fair share of the freighting business. The Parers and their respective families seem to have all quit ted Wau for the new field, intent on being first on the field with freezers, hotels, etc.
