[REUTERS TELEGRAMS.] By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. PROPOSED EXPLORATION FOR GOLD IN NEW GUINEA. COLLAPSE OF THE SYNDICATE AND ABANDONMENT OF THE PROPOSED EXPEDITION. (Received July 14, 1.15 p.m.) Melbourne, July 14. It has been almost conclusively proved that Kerry, who for some time has been actively engaged in forming a syndicate for the purpose of prospecting and working certain reputed goldfields in New Guinea on the strength of some fine specimens which he claimed to have discovered while a member of the “Age” New Guinea Expedition, is identical with a person named Lord, who purchased several quartz specimens in Launceston in February last. His story of the discovery of auriferous country in New Guinea is consequently discredited, and the expedition which was about to start under the auspices of the syndicate has been entirely abandoned.
