  1. Few expensive buildings and machinery were treated in the disposal, and much machinery is said to be worth $100,000 imported and installed. Even when the speculation collapsed, the plant at Siamo was all thrown away and abandoned.

The value of the foundations and cement of the buildings remain, and the brick chimney shaft of the smelting works is still shared valuable.

That area is mainly composed of Jac. Ms. Sican Fangs quartz syenite and trap rocks predominate; the common Conedine quartz is a bluish greenish colour, altered one, Tunum (a feldspar) is found in the dykes and in the Packer stiff clay, in which the best pasture is found. There is green clay with veins of quartz gravel.

Lantro Island is chiefly granite on the south face, and trap rocks on the north, the latter being consequently much better covered with vegetation and trees. The smaller islands, such as Cheung Chau, P'ing-chan, and Imma seem to be almost entirely granite.

It will be understood that a geological survey of the islands was not possible in 12 days, but an accurate reconnaissance was made. Geological survey is still desirable.
