—“You can see gold everywhere! The
i
only trouble is transport. W-e are
pinning our faith on the airplanes
and six are already on the field,
only the smallest fraction of the real
wealth has yet been tapped.”
Such was the golden report of Dr.
McLean, warden of the gold fields of
the mand ated territory when do la
menting on plans for the develop
ment of resources in New Guinea.
McLean held a conference with the
honorary minister, Mr. C. W. C. Marr,
recently, when it was revealed that
the government had decided to aid in
the development of the riches of the
mandated territory.
Revelation was made by McLean
that there was a reef of gold ore run
inng five miles and having a width at
some places as much as 30 feet. The
ore averages 20 ounces to the ton of
ore, and is valued at 4-4 shillings
(roughly $11) an ouncw
