Another Shareholder asked what the Castle Peak property had fetched and was, told a few dollars more than was paid for it. As the meeting was about to disperse Mr. J. P. Braga said he might usefully remind the meet- ing, that they had met twelve months ago in that room in an atmosphere more or less electric- ally charged. To-day the atmos-, phere was rather damp cutside, but within they felt rather warm after the very satisfactory speech the Chairman had made. As one who took more or less of a lead- ing part in the discussion last year he (the speaker) felt a vote of thanks was due to the Chair- man, as the managing partner in the firm, for the very successful year that had been weathered.
