Be Over

If these developments lead to the establishment of a big mining industry in New ..

Hebrides, it may mean that the haphazard, happy-go lucky days of the NH Con dominium are over.

The “Pandemonium” has achieved what was once re garded as impossibe—it has remained in existence for more than half a century. When it was brought into existence in 1906-7, few expected it to last a decade.
