The thirteenth annual meeting of the Raub Australian Gold Mining Company Limited was held at the registered office, Queen-street, yesterday fternoon, says the Brisban Daily Meit of July 19, Mr. De Burgh Persse, obair man of the company, occupied the chair."

The chairman, in moving the adoption of the roport and balance-sheet for the past year, ssid that he was pleased to be able to present a better report than last year, and although there was room for improvement, the financial position of the company had considerably improved. It would be seen by the report issued by the general manager, Mr. Martin, M.L.M.E. that the yield of gold was increasing, and that the Den mine at Stope was turning out satisfactory. Numerous experiments had been made to successfully treat the tailings by cyanide, and it was gratifying to learn that Mr. Marlin was on the fair road to obtain results that fully justified the trouble he

A correspondent well-versed in such matters writes as follows:-

WES is it that, if a private firm can do this and actually du it consistently, the Crown Agents cannot do likewise! I think the answer is that, if the Crown Agente made the efort to be really efficient, they are aware they would not benefit in the slightest degree, but, with a prisate firm, success begets success, and that is the key to the whole thing, Make it possible for Colony to be able to ca for accounts of all their dealings through the Crown Agents, with full particulare of the same, and make it incumbent

As regards Consulting Engineers, insist on their visiting the works which are in progress, periodically, and on complation they must give a satisfactory, handing over report. If this had be done on the Singapore Kranji line, venture to say that no Consulting Engineer in the world, who had any respect for his own reputation as an Engineer, would even at this satisfactory.

I do not supposes at this distant date it would be possible to rake up the question of costs in this connection, but, if you can get at that, it will be very easy to compare the onlinary merchant's prices with the Crown Agents' price, and I think that would be very instructive,
