I-We, the undersigned, residents in Hong- kong, desire to address your Excellency on the subject of the acquisition of the Mount Austin Hotel by the War Department for the purposes el Barracks. We regard this purchase on the part of the War Department as a serious blow to the welfare of the European civil population of the colony itwell, and we would respectfully realding in the colony and to the best interests state that in opening up this matter we do no merely with the desire of securing a faller consideration of the case from all points of view,
-We appland and heartily agree with the quarters to the troops, but we ask for farther Intention of the War Department to give cool
consideration of the site, as it appears to us that it is possible to select others more likely to secure the general comfort of the whols com- munity.
3-The Fesk may now be said to be the summer resort of-a-large- proportion of the European and American civil community, and it is becoming more and more the place of residence of such portion of the community throughout the entire year, and it is especially sought after vince of residence by those who hayo wives and families in the colony, the cosler atmosphere, being found to be very bene- fcial to women and chlidren.

Chinese ten years ago was exclusively inbablted by Europeans and Americans, and it is evident that within a comparatively short space of time the Peak will become almost the sole place of residence for the European and American population in the Colony.

Following that example we may first concern ourselves with the claan-up. This represents an indication of a fair normal result for the last month's work. The outcome of the monthly rough clean-up, which is intermediate between the two-monthly smeltings, is 2,800 ounces of amalgam for 1,400 tons of stone: equal to two ounces of amalgam per ton. From this a fair guess may be made at the gold in the amalgam. On the usual proportion of gold in amalgam, any roughly st fa 35, the gold would be rozó ounces or a little ever red dwts, per ton.
