HIDDEN WEALTH.
SEARCH IN AUSTRALIA. A GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY. LONDON. May 19. " Ii is impossible to predict what success we are likely to achieve in Australia, but the geophysical method has been very successful elsewhere," said Dr. Bieler, of McGill University, who is to leave for Australia in June by the Maloja, as deputy-director of the Imperial Geophysical Experimental Survey. " The geophysical method has helped mining companies in Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario in locating directions of copper ores," said Dr. Bieler, "hut the great success of this method was in Newfoundland, in 1.927, when very valuable deposits of copper, lead, and zinc were discovered. That is probably the most remarkable discovery m the world recorded by geophysical methods. We hope, it possible, to test the possibilities of oil in Queensland." Dr. Bieler added that the geophysical prospectors would not look specially for gold, which is usually found associated with other metals. "I am eagerly anticipating my visit to Australia, because I fael that there must be great deposits of various ores , awaiting discovery," he said.
