Future Of Dredges In

New Guinea
THE announcement by the Managing Director of Bulolo Gold Dredging, Ltd., that six of the Bulolo dredges would close down at intervals during the next 6 or 7 years, as the Bulolo flats are worked out, probably is the reason why a BGD prospecting party has been taking a keen interest in the alleged gold dis coveries west of Mt. Hagen, in New Guinea. BGD is looking for some gold bearing flats to which the dredges may be transferred.
The two deep-digging dredges at Bul olo have work for another 15 years. The other dredges were built before it was discovered that there was a false bottom on the Bulolo flats. When it was found that 20 or 30 feet deeper there was another and a richer layer, the later dredges were built to reach the greater depth.
