the gold-bearing lodes of Pahang were to be counted on in depth; and inasmuch as Koman Shaft could not be availed of for such a test, being ill-adapted as to situation, capacity and equipment, a new site had to be chosen. Everything pointed to the east side of Koman Hill-plenty of space for headgear, good ground for sinking in, dumpin~ room for waste rock. facility for automatic delivery of are to battery, proximity to a new inde on the one sile and easy access to the old one on the other skle by crosscuts' which would disclose farther lodes if existen!..
Loar hefore there was any assurance that negotiations with the Government would re- sult favourably, we had decided that the de- mands of the mine would in any event compel the sinking of a new main shaft snaper or later, though the depths to which it would be imme. dintely taken might be much less than the 1,5ft, proposed for the Government-aided
shafi.
Aiming at the greatest econoiny combined with an efficiency which would meet either case, we utilised to the full the facilities afford-

future main shaft. Orice the connection was made we were able to strip down the air-shaft (6ft x 4ft.) until it measured 186 5ft,, send- ing the dirt down and out through the adit in- stead of raising it by bucket. This, for the depth of B6ft.-the level of the adit below the collar of the shaft-meant a very large saving. Below that depth, all rock (and water) had perforce to be raised to grass; but, while the stripping was in progress, we were preparing a light headgear and steam winding machinery. and so the work went on almost without inter- mission. By November last, however, the in- flow of water became greater than could be conveniently or economically dealt with even by the largest bucket (about 60 gal.), and we were compelled to stop sinking until the arrival of an electrically-driven sinking pump from England. When this shall have arrived-it is due about the end of March-sinking will be Trumed at much increased speed and lessened cost.

A brick dam has been built 830ft. N. of the shaft, to help control excessive water, and give relief to the pumps on occasion.
So soon as our development work in Keman shaft began to warrant still deeper and more extensive operations, we set about scheming to utilise our spare electric power for actuating pumps, hoisting engines, &c. In many respects, we were thus following a well beaten track, but, in one point, we have made a step which is quite new, viz., in applying electricity to driv. ing a Cornish pump.
