This photo graph shows why New Guinea G o 1 dfields Ltd. are making big ger profits.
A large water race now comes out of the m ountains, creeps along the steep hillsides be hind Wau, and sup plies water for large scale sluic ing opera tions in the valleys and slopes a t K o ranga just north of Wau. I was told that this Kora n g a sluicing en terprise is
winning more and more gold, and there is a huge area of rich country to be treated.
Once the water is there, it is cheap mining. When I took the picture, each
of these large nozzles was being tended by trained native labourers. The gold is caught in special apparatus, down below.
