WAU, Mar. 24.

FOR years now there has existed a track from Wau (centre of the Morobe Goldfields, in New Guinea) to the miners at Black Cat; and now it is visible from Wau.

This “track” is said to be on the loca tion of the recently-surveyed road from Salamaua to Wau, and its appearance as a definite highway on the mountain side below the “Gap” may be the intro duction of something bigger—the much discussed and disputed Salamaua-Wau Road.
