year. The workmen can be got and, but for the pernicious system of extor tion, the output might be fairly main- tained. As it is, the greatest uncertain-
prevails as to the engagement and payment of colliers, and no one master mind is present to mile the native offi- cials. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the total outturn of the mine for the year 1870 was no less than 30,016 tons, which result compares favourably with that for 1878, viz., 14,029 tons. It is, we believe, almost certain that the same result as that obtained last year might have been secured in 1878 had not the obstacles of rapacious officialdom come in the way. This consideration gives one a very apt illustration of the way in which this obnoxious system of self- payments acts upon public policy, whe- ther it be applied to general fiscal mat- tere, special taxation, or public works. For instance, if the expenses of tho Kelang Colliery be considered for the two years under notice, it will be found

nearly as much to raise the 14,029 tons of Coal as it did to bring to the surface over double that amount; while the value of the output of the one year is of course twice that of the other. It is estimated that, taking small and large Coal into account, and calculating upon the average rate of 82.50 a ton, that the produce of the miue for 1870 would be worth say $75,000. But here again comes in one of those unaccountable freaks of the Chineso official. It is certainly puzzl ing why they should fail in making the most of the mine's resources; but it is doubly more so that they pervait the coal to remain in tho coal-yards after it is ready for sale.

In a recent to use or dispose of it. memorandum on this matter the Su- perintending Engineer made a vory sensible suggestion upon this branch of the subject. He wrote: I venture to suggest, now that the Colliery is turning out considerable quantities of coal, the importance of establishing a European agency for the sale of that are unable to dispose of. I do not fear, surplus coal which the Chinese officials were the quality of the coal we are now turning out better known, but that a trade equal to more than we could supply would clear our Coal-yards of any super- Aluous stock."
It is, however, satisfactory to learn that the period of official obstraction seems likely to come to an end at an early date. The Engineer-in-charge now finds greater facilities placed witlun his reach, and the work proceeds more smoothly than it has ever yet done, with the natural result that the produce of the mine is increasing at a steady rate of progression. One thousand tons per week were early this year turned out; while the output has gone on in- creasing to twelve and thirteen hundred tons per week and the hewers were taking greater pains to produce larger and more markotable pieces from the seam. The railway to the sea, which we noticed some time since, and the other apparatus, were working in a manner which fully justified the expense incurred by their construction; and things generally are now assuming more prosperous appearance than they have for several years.
