Prospecting drive and rabbit skin market rise in Sydney
The Minister for Mines Mr R W D Weaver reports strong interest in a new prospecting program with 800 miners placed under the special vote. Some men already supplement weekly allowances with small gold finds and authorities anticipate extending the scheme. Rabbit skin prices rose at Sydney sales with large tonnages and varied grades showing gains. Victor Talking Machine promotions accompany the market notes.
