Gold Prospecting Triumph in New Guinea By Bartlett
Edric C Bartlett a former Granville businessman returned to Australia for a holiday after a decade in New Guinea. He survived malaria and near death, lost and recovered wealth on the Watut River, built a mining operation from small beginnings, and now runs a 100-strong workforce while his mine nicknamed The Finale yields steady profits. Bartlett, son of John Bartlett of Gloucester, credits grit and persistence for his success on the Watut and Bartlett Creek after earlier setbacks and forced drives into the interior.
