t A visitor to New Caledonia, in June, was Mr. Roland Pres, Director-General of the French Government’s Mining Bureau. Mr.

Pres said that the Mining Bureau is to extend its activities in New Caledonia substantially. Proof of this is the fact that in 3 years the Bureau has invested 90 million francs in New Caledonia surveys and prospects and this year 70 million will be spent. Eight engineers are at present working in New Caledonia and the number

will be increased so soon as suitabi men can be found. France at present has a shortage of mining engineers and the Mining Burea will award scholarships to suitabi scholars in New Caledonia pe& mitting them to study at minii* colleges.
