TO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY FREES.” Sin,hore seats to buye been same, mis apprehension as to my last letter re the Balmoral meeting I was very far from thinking that the General Managers failed in any way to look after the interests of the shareholders, for es a matter of fact, great progress has bean. made at the mines under the present able maugomeat and the Company placed in a fair way to be soon on a dividend paying basis, forro, Ph.D., 125 illne which we shareholders have to thank them only. What I feared was that the funds in hand must be running short, considering the amount of development carried out, and that a mation might be brought forward at the most ing, by some sherehelder to dispose for io property and that the motion would be carried. To show how much confidence I place in tho management I may state that I baro myself, quite recently, considerably added to my holdings in the Company's stock. As regards the dispen of the Eureka wins to "Olivers," the male of that property took place before the present man agars took near the route of the Balmoral affairs and therefore the shareholdere hasa only to thank themselves for porting with it. Hoping you vill kindly find space for this ex- planation,
