NOTES FROM the NORTE,
(From our own Correspondent.)
TIENTSIN, July 16th
My last few letters have been very dry, that ls, I have harped pretty poralitently upon the drought. Now it la ralnieg. All around me the continual, metallic gurgie affected by rain drops when they are penetrailng the interior of an Iron house-pipe and descending upon a sharp angleð Joint at the bottom, tesiles to the fact. So do several unsightly patches on the walls around me, growing visibly larger and darker. So too. do the Friday-ilke feo prints of the crollo's fair hoof in my ball. But me most nat grumble. This is S1. Swithen's Day in addition to being the first day of the first hot Fa, and by rights it ought to redo for 40 days more or less, it St. Swithen holds away to the East,
At last I have soruething to send you, namely the bona fide agreement algaed and sealed be- tween the Taungi Ya men and the Peking Syndicate Ld, or the Anglo Italian Syndicate as It used to be known. This is the first agree- ment of the kind over made la Chins, and it is
■ matter for great congratulation that it is with Britishers. The P. & F. T. is the first paper in China to publish the English versloo, but several coples have been sent home. Attached to the text is a very neatly executed photo of the last page of the document showing the signatures of the contracting partlet, and the great seal of the Tsang Yimen; also a map showing the precise aia covered by the concesilon, and also the locality of the deposits which are coal, lion and petroleum.
PEKING SYNDICATE AGREEMENT. Regulations agreed upon by the Shan Bureau of Trade and the Paking Syndicate for mining purposes, iron works and iransporting
lae prodects of alt Elds la the Province of Shansi :-
-The Governor of Shansi having sanctioned the request of the Shanal Bureau of Trade for the sole right in open zod work coal and iron mines throughout the Distelets of Ya hain and Plogting-chov, and the Prefee- tares of Lu-an-fo, Tae-chott-fp and Ping- yang-fu and also petroleum wherever found the several concessions granted are now transferred for operation to the Peking Syndicate for the period of sixty years. Mising engineers shall frst be sent to Gad In what township and hills the mines are situated and what they produce, and make maps thereo with explanations inserted, which shall be sabmlited to the Governor of Shent that he may see that the proposed works are not lajurious to the place, and he aball report thereon to the Taung-1 Yamèn for record and at the same time Issue A permit for the mines to be opened without the least delay,
Il mining lands belong to the people, the lease or purchase shall be made by arrange ment with the owners for a reasonable price; if it he Government Jund, the tax to be paid on it shall be double the ordinary land tax fox that locally,
3. The Governor of Shanif has authorized the Bureau of Trade to negotiato a foreign loun nat to exceed Tuels 10.000,000- should the mi-log englacers employed find this sum Insufficient, the Barend may borrow more only of the Feking Syndicate. 3-All matters of administration, exploitation,
employer and fiance shall be controlled by the Board of Directors of the Peking Syadi. cate and the Chief Shanal Bureau of Trade shell
cooperate.
4-Each mice must have one Foreign and one Chinese manager, the Foreigner to contrai the works. the Chinese to attend to all matters between natives and foreigners. Accounts will be kept by the foreign system; receipts and payments of money to be con trelied by the Foreign manager and mad.ted by the biness manager,
At all times Chinese should be employed as much as pessible. All salaries to be paid by the Syndicate.
I-When prospecting for mines, if there be any boring or sinking of pits to examine mineral deposits, an arrangement should first be mide with the land owner to compensate him for any crops lojured. Ila mine he opened on private land an arrangement mast be made with the co-operation of the local officials to lease or buy the land for reasonable price, fair to both parties as a measure of justice. Wherever land leased or bought for mines cantalas cemeteries of mortuary shrines soma plan must be devised to avoid them; there murl be no
excavation. After mines are opened, should there be damage to life or buildings from subiidence in the mines, the Syndicate sball make charitable compensa'tos. 6-Wherever mines are worked there shall be paid yearly to the Chinese Government as producer's tax (Lo-tl-shul), 5 per cent, on the cost of extracitng the output of the mines. From the profits shown by the yearly accounts there shall first be paid 6 per cent. Interest on the caplis employed, and next to per cent, shall be sei avide su a staking fund for yearly repayment of capital and consequent reduciton of interest, pay: ments to inlog fund ceasing when the invested capital is whoily repaids and from the remainiog net profit 25 per cent shall be paid to the Chinese Government and the remainder shall go to the Syndicate for น own dispoiltlon.
