backed by Governor Generalof Indo-China, whose constant Interest in our enterprise has never for a moment flagged, that these dues should be very miterially reduced. The export daties on our coal have been abollshed; the royalties, which varied between 1 fr, and 1.75 per ton, have been brought to a uniform tax of Ir. 0.50 per ton, the result of which is a saving of nearly ics, 200,000 on our present output of 100,000 to 200,000 tons annually. But this is not all, fox even reduced to fr, ago, the royalty is still higher than that which we should pay in France, and we have good hopes that the Governor General of Indo-China, who is so justly interested in the success of every industrial enterprise in Tonkin, and more particularly in the mining industry, on which, to a certain ex- tent, depends the development of our colony. will soon find the means to place is from
situation, Analogous financial point of view, in to that of our colleagues in the mother country, for there is no enterprian which could for lang support such excessive and unreasonable charges. We must not terminate this brief | the Governor General, energetically seconded by account without adding that to the vigilance of the Resident of our province, we owe the absolate tranquillity of all our mining region. The most complete security reigns everywhere, and nothing can henceforth arrest the progressive and re- gular development of our works. Moreover, to push on with this development as much as possible, we have in view certain financial measures which we propose to submit for your approval when the proper moment comes, for it behares us to leave nothing undine which may enable us to gain from our exceptionally rich concessions, all that they can and ought to give us.

The Chairman:—There is no farther basiness, gentlemen ↑ I declare this meeting closed, and I thank you for your attendance here to-day.
Mr. Lapralk Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen, before the meeting dissolves I think it's due to the directors and also to the staff employed at Hon- gay to propose a vote of thanks for all they bave done for us during the past year. (Applause.) We know that in a climats like that of Tonkin must be very hard work for the miners and for all the Europeans employed there, and wa can only trust that in course of time we shall be able to realise the work they have done, and that the Company will be a serviceable, valuable, and dividend-paying ons. (Applante.}}
The Chairman :—Gentlemen, I thank you on behalf of my brother-directors and myself, and for the staff at Hougay, for the vote of thanks which you have so kindly given us, and which, especially after the troublous times we have just passed through, we highly appreciate. In our inmost consciences we feel that we have deserved it, an every one of us has done bis very best to pro- mate the welfare of the Company, and you may rest assured that we shall continue to exert all our efforts to bringing our grand property to that final success which, I may say with all con- fidence, is now not very far off.
