MISIMA Island, out of which Cuth bert’s Misima Gold Mine has ex tracted more than £175.000 in dividends, lies 150 miles almost due east from the entrance to Milne Bay. East ern Papua. Compulsory evacuation of the island took place in January, 1942, and the flow of dividends ceased at an interesting stage of development of the northern leases. At the annual meeting in Sydney, chairman Gordon Carter said that when the position in the south west Pacific had sufficiently improved, the board anticipated receiving per mission to send to Misima a small maintenance party to prepare for the return of the mining team. From the meagre information available there was reason to believe that the property was in fair condition and had suffered little.
The company would probably be able to live within its income until operations were resumed.—“ Sydney Bulletin."
