'PLANE.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIOHI.)
(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, 15th April. Tha " New York Times" Botwood (Newfoundland) correspondent says that Sydney Cotton, the Australian airman; announced that he- will start a flight on 15th April from here to the Labrador goldfields to work several claims. He has there a party comprising seven men, and has three aeroplanes well equipped with the necessary supplies, especially for surveying and prospecting. The party- is going by air because the rigorous winter is still continuing in Labrador, and travel by other means is impossible for at least two months. Prospectors will be out of touch with civilisation, and upon their own resources.
