FIJI GOLDFIELD
COMPLETION OF SURVEY " IMPORTANT CONCLUSIONS " A geological survey of the Tavua goldfield in Fiji has been completed by Dr. J. Loftus-Hills, a prominent mining engineer, of Sydney, and his staff. Dr. Loftus-Hills, who was a passenger by the Mariposa yesterday on his return to Australia, said very important conclusions as to the future of the goldfield had been deduced as a result of the survey. " Upon my arrival at Sydney," he said, " I intend to make a public statement about the whole position of the Tavua goldfield and things that have happened in Australia about it. It must be remombered that the Tavua field is only in its very early stages of development, although a very large amount of payable ore has already beeu proved."
