Misma Is. Gold Mines

GOLDMINING continues active on Misima Island, Eastern Papua (writes a correspondent).

Cuthbert’s Misima Gold Mine is still producing fat dividends. Its neighbour, Gold Mines of Papua Ltd., has been meeting with some difficulties, in extrac tion and precipitation. However, it lately brought in several men, assayers and metallurgists, and they expect to over come these troubles in the near future.

A mining engineer has arrived for Quartz Mountain, and he has engaged several miners and is. according to local ideas, starting from the right end—that is, the development and testing of the mine itself. Too many mines are judg ed on the assay of 1,000 grains of stone, even if it may be from a single boulder in the creek.
