CHEISTCHUECH, This Day. The definite opinion that much oi the assistance now granted to gold prospectors working ground and tailings that have been worked three or four times by early .diggers and sinco then have been worked two or three times by Chijaamien was a positive waste of money, was expressed by the Minister of Mines, the Hon. P. Webb, in an interview this morning. The Minister said he could not see any possible hope of developihg any areas that way. "Easily won gold," said the Minister, "has been won by early experienced diggers and, with all the expenditure of money through the Unemployment Board on prospecting in those areas, not one mine has been discovered worth mentioning. Nevertheless, a lot of useful information has been eolleeted as a result of all the prospecting and a considerable amount of gold has been won, but we have now reached the stage when the latest scientific knowledge must be brought into play and the most modern maeffinery Utilised in order to work the lowergrade deposits on a large and economic scale.
