LABOUR.
All mine work has been done by Chinese workmen, of whom there has been the usual and efficient supply. On the surface, Malays and Tamils are found most suitable.
The rates of wages paid in much the same as in previous years, though there is a general tendency to a higher rate. This has arisen, no doubt, from the increased demand for labour by the many new enterprises in these States. The average rates paid are as follows:-

BUKIT KOMAN ELECTRIC HOIST. After two years and four months since the first hoist was ordered, we have installed at Koman shaft one that has given some satis- faction. The motor is 70 hp., coupled to a worm gear on a counter shaft, which operates the 8 ft. diameter drums by spur gesing. It is fitted with emergency brakes-and these are only necessary in case of accidents,-also with an electric brake in the first instance, but this changed for a fost reicase, which gives less sudden and severe strains on the engine. The resistance has given considerable trouble through overheating in a very confined space. It has since been successfully moved to some distance from the starter.
