Mt. Kasi Mines Winding Up

p. 8 · Read in the full issue

STEPS are being taken to wind up Mount Kasi Mines Ltd.—an Austra lian company which operated a profitable gold-mine at the western end of Vanua Levu, Fiji, for several years.

The lode worked out, and the directors had to decide whether to seek new country —there are good prospects thereabouts— or close up. Because they did not think they had sufficient Governmental en couragement, they took the latter course.

Most of the plant has been sold, and the staff dispersed.

The Rev. W. F. and Mrs. Paton, who have been residing temporarily in Tas mania. expect to return to the New Hebrides mission field by the March-April “Morinda”.
