Return of the Drilling Party
'T'HE drilling party sent to the Strick land River, Papua, under* Mr. Dufaur, to examine the dredging claims pegged in May last by Mr. Jack Hides and the late Mr. David Lyall, on behalf of Investors Ltd., returned to Sydney in January. No report has been made to shareholders, but it is believed that the results of the examination by drill were disappointing.
It is understood that Mr. Hides will re turn to New Guinea shortly, to continue his work for Investors Ltd.
Late Mr. David Lyall.
Mr. David Lyall, who died at Daru, Western Papua, on September, left an estate valued at £5,785 to his mother and younger brother.
