GEOLOGIST RETURNS
The location of valuable ore deposits in New South Wales will be made easier if the Government in that State adopts the recommendations of Mr. E. Andrews, Government geologist, who is going through on the Niagara after a year abroad investigating on behalf of his Government the modern methods of geo-physical prospecting, and also the latest advances in fuel research. The electrical and gravity methods of prospecting in the United States struck Mr. Andrew’s as being particularly adaptable to New South Wales conditions, and incidentally to those of New Zealand, and he anticipates that as a result of their employment in the Australian State greater facilities will be given for the discovery as well as the recovery of ores.
In th© treatment of Australian and New Zealand coals for fuel and byproducts Mr. Andrew’s sees vast possibilities. “I see in the not distant future,” he said, “the production from our coals not only of fuels, but of by-products which may b© considered to have taken the part, in a measure at least, of natural oils. Not that we would not rather have our natural oils, but it is possible that in a short while we wrill not be able to get natural oils, and the by-products will take tlieir place.”
