SYDNEY, March 25. A well-known prospector, who spent eight months working on the Echo Creek goldfield in New Guinea, says that the alluvial workings there are practically worked out, and the way is being cleared for systematic working on a bipger scale when the conditions for mining become favorable. The Administration has taken firm control, and the early defects havs been overcome. The field must eventually be carried on by dredging and sluicing companies and reef mining. So far there has been no prospecting for reefs, the activities having been centred on alluvial methods.
