This comes Bag very hard on the man who advances money or AA the adiuv, especially if he has bus regular in his sh payments and kept the coolies, well supplied; but, on the other hand, it is hard on the coolin to keep him working at an unproductive mine for nothing but his keep. I should mention that the mines are worked in shares, each coolie having an equal share in what is produced by the whole gang. It is an unsatisfactory mode of working, as it takes it so dillonlt to control

Another important drawback to the devolop. mens of tin-miring on a large scale in this Stata ia that hitherto there las born no large tract of country found, the whole area of which contains tin, such as is to be found in Perak and Selan ger; mother do I think that, from the nature of the country, each spots are to be found.
