With regard to other mining industries, the original proposals have been considerably modified, the ex- amination of balance-sheets- baving shown that the tax would affect new companies and bu» ssinesses to a much greater degree than the old-established ooDOMINE The estimated yield of the tax has consequently been reduced from £1,000,000 to £800,000.— United Empire,
