THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS, AND pleased to answer them to the best of my ability. The whole of the ten thousand sharos have been taken up, and paid for in full. Aerated water plant and machinery ordered from England is due to arrive next month, and we hope to have. our factory in full working order by Marsh, or the early part of April. The business, which has been carried on for the benefit of the company since the 1st of January, 1899, is eminently sat isfactory and at our first annual general meeting, which will be held during March next, we hope to submit a report and recommend such a divid- end as will be agreeable to you all. This, gentle- men, is all the business before us to-day. I thank you very much for your attendance.
RAUB AUSTRALIAN GOLD MINING
CO.,
LIMITED.
The November orushing at Raub yielded 2,100 ounces of amalgam) from 1,050 tons of stone treated.
A dividend of a shilling per share has been declared on the shares of the Raub Austra- lian Gold Mining Co., Limited, payable on the 15th January, and a call of the same amount has been made.
The Malay Mail hears that the big Raub dam at Sempan has burst, doing tremendous damage. It is true that a Raub dam has burst; it is not, however, the large Sempan dam, but, as we are informed at the office of the company, the dam at Bukit Koman, which is a consider- ably smaller dam. This is the dam which is intended to store water for use at the battery. Also the bursting of the dam is not a serious affair. The damage is not tremendous, but very slight.-Straits Times.

With reference to your yesterday's paragraph re The Jelubu Mining and Trading Co., Ltd, we would point out that your remarks as to the lode having for the moment disappeared, might be construed to mean that the whole lode had pinched out,
"This, however, is not the case, insomuch as there are three lodes, only one of which, has, for the present, been lost, but which, it is hoped, may be picked up again.
1,620.00 240.00
"But even if this should not be the case, and 263.96 6,909.22
even if the other lodes should also disappear, 1,800.00 which the Company has no reason to anticipate, the Mining Manager is of the opinion, that $72,023.18 the quantity of payable quartz at present in sight will keep the stamps fully engaged for at C. least five years."

An even game was expected, but most people, I think, anticipated that the Club would be a little to the good at the finish. The start was a little delayed, but Mr. F. Browne, Referes, had the ball in motion at 10 past 4 o'clock, the teams being as follows :- Engineers. Moors, goal; Lapaley and Dyer, backs; Ritobie, Wilson, and J.
