WASHINGTON, March 13-The follow

Ernest Vollmer of Tsingtau is from an
article appearing recently in German
paper published in China:
"A dense tropical growth over the
entire land, great danger from feyers
and the unusual ferocity of the natives
have greatly retarded the geological in
vestigations in both German and British

paratiyely little is known of the coun-
try. It is known that gold is being OBJ
tanned in British New Guinea since 1894
on the Mamhare river. In 1901 and
1902 the New Guinea company sent ex-
petitions into the Ramu and Huone
gulf concessions. All of the rivers along
the eastern border near British terri
tory to Cape Longuerue showed gold,
being the Waria, Wiwo, Morope. Pajavo
and Majama. The Waria is considered
very rich in its headwaters, judging
from the amount of fine gold in its low
er course, but the rich upper part is In
British territory.
Native copper of unusual purity is
found in basalt ridge along the Kabe-
nau and deserves careful prospecting.
Coal, found while building a road along
the Ramu, was assayed in Berlin, its
heating and steaming qualities being
