GARRISON CUP Rade, 16TH - APRIL The course was from the usual starting line off the Police Pier, Kowloon, passing Stone- cutters to port, round the Kankung Rock beyond Cowechow, and return, leaving a markboat off the south of Chunghue to starboard, 173 miles. Handicap-Erica and Maid Marion allow Chanticleer 30 secs, Phoebe 1.30, Sybil 4.30, Bonito 8.30, Meteor 9.30, Ladybird 9.30, Active 11 mins., Payne 14, Dart 14.30, Princess 16.
There was a fairly good breeze at the start, but it died nearly away by the time the boats arrived at the Kankung Rock, where the Erica was her time ahead of all the boats with the Maid Marion and Chanticleer two and three minutes after. In the best back these three boats went away from the rest of the fleet, the Chanticleer, by keeping in the middle of the barbour, coming in an easy winner, the Maid
Marion and Erica getting the wind very light behind Stonecutters, where they had gone for choice of course. The times at the finish
were: Chanticleer Maid Marion
Erica

THE PUNJOM MINING CO.,
LIMITED.
The following is the report of the Manager of the Panjom Mining Co., Limited, for March :-
JALIB.
August Shaft-Level No. 3.-(200 feet Level) Prospecting Winze No. 1.-Drives from this winse were contiuned 39ft, in several directions following ore bodies, which are much twisted about and more of the nature of pockets than lodes here. A winse was sunk from one of theas drives 7ft. to follow some ore. A very little rich ore was found in doing, this work, and all the ore taken out was sent to the Mill 325 tops, which yielded 6.8 dwts. per ton in
|
| free gold and some concentrates not yet treated that will give about 2 dwts, per ton more. No permanent ore body or defined lođe, nor any- thing of a very promising nature, was developed
here.
Prospecting Winze No. 3.-Drive easterly from this winze continued 24ft. 5in on the, ore body known as the "East and West" lode, in ore and lode formation, but the ore was all too low grade to send to the mill or be of
any value. This drive is in very hard ground.
TANKONG.
Shaft. This was continued 7ft, and stopped, it being the required depth to open out at 100 feet depth and for a sump below that. A broken up lode like formation was crossed by this shaft, which is likely the lode had first in Level No. 1. Level No. 2.-This was opened out at 100ft. from collar of shaft. Drives northerly 17ft. and southerly 11ft. were put in. What is ap parently the lode first had in Level No. 1 was cut in the drive southerly from shaft and drives put in on it easterly 6ft. and westerly 8ft. This lode is not well defined and of but low grade here, so far as developed.
Level No. 1, Uprise.—'Ï'his was continued 15ft. which brought it through to adit Level above, a total distance of 42ft. from Level No. 1. The lode this upraise is on did not improve any therein and is of questionable milling value. The large body of fair grade ore in adit levels this upraise came into did not extend down at point of upraise but about a foot, which was somewhat disappointing.

TAPHI 2010 A
Prospecting along the supposed line of was continued here and what seems to be lode developed for several hundred feet, but it is small, being but about 1 ft. thick and of very low grade where out.
GENERAL PROSPECTING/
territory and more or less prospecting work Some prospecting has been done over our
prosecuted at a number of places, but none of these places have developed into anything of particular promise as yet.

Water supply. This has been sufficient for power and other requirements.
Cyanide Works. These works treated 414 tons of sand tailings from Northern end of old dam, or pile. This sand assayed average but 2dwts. 15grs. before treatment. Bullion pro- Crosscut.-A. Crossent was started westerly duct 60.36 ounces. Assay here, gold 811 fine, from shaft at this level and driven north-silver 104 fine. Mint Válne,-Silver at 2s. 5d. westerly 54ft. At about 25ft, in it out some baily broken up quartz, in what looked like might be a lode formation, but of no value where cut. At 36ft, 6in. in a well defined lode was cut, proving about 10ft, thick in the bottom of the crosscut and, the foot wall, having farned perfectly flat, we are not through it yet in the top of the cross out. Three assays of this ore average a small fraction under one ounce fine gold per ton. This ore is not of a free milling, but refractory character, hence some changes must be made in our plant here to treat it to advantage, which steps have been taken to do if it proves to hold out in quantity and quality with further development, which is being and will be pushed on it. This lode is almost surely a continuation of the large ore body developed in the adit Level above, and cutting it strong here at the 50 foot Level 1 consider a promising development.
NEW FIND.
No. 1 Adit Level. This level was continued 55ft. and stopped. It was driven in country rock and passed through a small leader and some mineralized formation.
No. 3 Level was continued 7ft. 5in. when it was stopped. Nothing was developed in these levels or showed therein or in or about this lode to appear to me to warrant further prospecting here, ut present, anyway.
MANIK.
Surface work only was done here during the month. A small lot of very good ore was got, and sent to the mill, 20 tons of which yielded in free gold one ounce 11.85 dwts, per ton, and from it some good concentrates were saved, not yet treated; and 56 tons, of which 46 tons were treated during the month, yielding in free gold 3 dwts. per ton, and some concentrates, not yet treated. No seemingly permanent body or deposit of ore has been found here yet.
SELANGO.
Cleaning out old workings here was continued, but nothing of any value has been found there- in as yet.
HADJI.
A little further prospecting work was done here, but nothing of promise being found it
was discontinued.
SWAH.
No. 1 Drive West-This was continued 60ft., but cutting nothing of value it was stopped.
|
No. 2 Drive-This was continued and drives from it on a small stringer were put in, a total of 59ft., but nothing of value developed. Con. siderable prospecting was done in the vicinity of this place, showing further extensive native or ancient workings hereabouts and much gold bearing dirt and “float” quarts on the surface. ··
Rainfall.-9.4 inches at Manager's house. Buildings. Construction of European resid- ence at Bukit-Sarong progressing.
Machinery.-The erection of winding engine at "Gubau" progressed but slowly owing to sickness among labourers.
Health. At the Panggong section it has been generally very good, but at the Bukit Sarong Section both Europeans and Asiatics have suffered considerable from fever.

The Gaelic arrived at Woosung on the morn- ing of the 18th April, and at about nine o’olook the passengers were preparing to embark on the. tug-boat for Shanghai when they were ordered back and informed they must await inspection by the Medical Officer, under the new Regula- tions of the Customs declaring Hongkong an infected port. Soon after noon the Doctor ar- rived, and, upon signing a written undertaking. tq report the state of their health for the next ten days, the Shanghai passengers were permit- ted to leave the ship, which they did at about three o'clock, but the passengers in transit w'ere not allowed to leave the steamer, much to tr disappointment. A Chinese passenger died of plague on the way up from Hongkong, and was buried at sea on the 17th.—N. C. Daily Netos,
