traordinary circumstances of cheap Chinese tahour, and proximity to railway transit the prospect looks most alluring. So alluring, in deed, that since the region was visited a com- pany has started with the assistance of foreign capital to operate some of the mines on modern 99-- 10 89 lines. Judicious management should prove the value of this area, though it is by no means one of the really rich areas of Chiliti,

Bro. T. Lyons next gave "Sister Lodges and Visitors."
Won. Bro, T. F. Hough responded, and said that gathering was of peculiar significance from the fact that Wor. Bro. Last was the first brother under the Scottish Constitution who had been sent to the East and had the honour of being installed by Dr. Jordan, the District Grand Master of Scottish Freemasonry in Hongkong and South China. He was sure he was but the precursor of many worthy Scots Masons to come along and receive a like honour at the hands of the District Grand Lodge (applause). He congratulated their new Master from his heart, as he was sure all the East to receive that highest honour by the visiting brethren did, on his being sent to acclamation from the Lodge. It was a unique celebration, and he would look-back-upon it with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. In conclusion War. Bro. Hough, on behalf of the visitors, said a hearty good welcome was always accorded by the Naval and Military Lodge and he tendered the lodge their heartiest thanks, and hoped they might all be long spared to participate in many similar ré-unions, (Applause).
Wor. Bro. P. D. Hyeli next gave the health of the newly installed Master, and said that the majority knew of his many sterling qualities. He himself could assure them that he found

many hands, but it was impossible to ascertain who was the original finder. It was therefore difficult to say in what region these sands were secured, whether it lay to the north of the Wall or the south thereof. To the north of the Wall gate, known as Taoliangkow, about five miles, a cliff overhangs the river, in which titaniferoua Octa-iron is found in quantity with the usual asso. ciate of platinum, in very small proportion. This left the impression that platinum sands must be sought some distance south of this
itself. When the journey was made the river position in the immediate vicinity of the Wall was in flood so that sand prospecting was almost an impossibility,
