New Riches In Fiji

INTERESTING developmental work is in progress on the lower levels of the Loloma and Emperor mines, which are now producing richly, on the Tavua goldfield, in Fiji, Latest reports disclose a considerable quantity of high grade ore in the south drive, at No. 3 level of the Loloma mine.

One report says that it is believed that the high values have been caused by the intersection of the Regent and Loloma lodes, which enter the Emperor lease at about No. 5 level. The face of the Loloma South drive is now only about 130 ft. from the boundary of the Em peror, on the strike of the lode, and it is expected that this rich ore will carry on into the Emperor lease.

Mr. Harold Gatty, New Zealand mana ger for Pan American Airways, returned to Auckland by Clipper in May, after a visit to Noumea, New Caledonia.
