Ravages of Gold Dredging
Sir, —I notice in your issue to-day reference to the landing of the - largest dredge in New Zealand. Many years age I witnessed the destruction of country in Victoria, Australia, resulting from man’s greed for gold. Hundreds of acres there were put through this awful, hungry machine, called a dredge. Bleak, useless waste is all that is left, after the gold has been recovered. The Victorian Government in its wisdom put an end. once and for all to this horrible destruction caused by the unrelenting hunt for gold at any sacrifice. Is it not time New Zealand did the same and ended it? —I am, etc., H.R. Wellington, January 28.
