Rich Gold Patch In New

Guinea

LAE, Jan. 10.

IT is reported that Koranga Gold, which operates sluicing claims in the upper Bulolo Valley, took £25,000 worth of gold out of a new patch in four days. (This appears to be the area where the once fabulously rich Edie Creek flows down into the Bulolo.) Mr. Lloyd Ambler, who recently retired from the Colonial Service after 40 years’ service—most of them in BSI —reached New Zealand, with Mrs. Ambler, in mid- December. They will make their home in Auckland.
