This impression naturally had the effect of keeping the shares in the back ground, and erou venturesome spirits fought shy of them. It now turns out that the Com- pany has not been so unfortunate, but has in fact done very well, particularly in oveltango, and a good dividend may ha dondantly looked forward to.
