The memorial goes on to explain that owing to a scarcity of water in the mining area there are only four months in the year when the ores can be washed, and the suggestion is made that water mains should be laid to th mining area from some remote district, at an estimated out of no less than 817,000,000, so as to ensure a cenalant water supply. The Governor recognises that this amount is "not easy to secure in the present circumstances," but as the Company has embarked on a large enter prise and as the mineral weath of the district is so rich, he advises PRESIDENT that "it is worth while to pro ceed with the plan," because it would ensure "enormous profits in the future."
