8th February, 1887, the Hon. C. P. CHATER, who occupied the chair, was able to tell the shareholders that a telegram from London had confirmed Mr. Haughton's assay of somehore taken from a cross lode, and that their mining engineer, Mr. STUART, was hard at work, putting up the machinery and plant, and that he hoped MONTSERRAT LIME FRUIT JUICE in a few weeks to be able to start work:

HONGKONG, SATurday, May 16; 1888.

The proceedings at the second ordinary half yearly meeting of the Punjom and "Sunghie Dua Samantin Mining Company -İsimiléd,—hold-at the Hongkong Hotel_on_ Thursday afternoon, again brings promin ently before the public the generally rotten management associated with the joint stack enterprises for which the colony of Hongkong has in recent years become sn notorious. This Company was first registered in Hongkong on the 8th Sept. 1985, with a capital of $100.000, divided into furty thousand shares of ten dollars each the original subscribers comprising most of the leading mercantile men of the colony It was heralded into existence by reports of a most sensational character, describing the immense wealth piled up at Punjom;· which only wanted skilled treatment and carting away in order to make each and every one of the shareholders millionaires of the most approved type. It was never explained why the original owners of this modern Golconda were so anxious to dispose of their priceless estate with its teeming millions for the paltry consideration of $150,000; such a trifling circumstance

would, of course, · never

suggest itself

The next meeting of shareholders was held on the 29th Sept., when no information was vouchsafed and no questions were asked. In the report dated Sept. 23rd, however, we come across a few items of some interest.. 'A | 12-head stamping mill, with all machinery ›connected therewith, had been erected at | the mine and reported in excellent working order; a suitable water-wheel had been procured from home and was at Singapore walling shipment to Pahang: a stern- wheel steam launch had been completed and was expected to render valuable service for the Company, not only in the transport of machinery, stores and passen- gers, but also in the development of the trade of the district; Mr. STUART's valuable

Mr. D. McCULLOCH supported this demand contending that if any special information had come to hand, the shareholders had equal rights with the Directors in knowing what it was, and in a purely gambling stock like Punjoms the justice of this argument cannot be disputed. Of course the Directors indignantlyrepudiated having received any information which had not been

any repetition of the scene, that occurred at this meeting Punjoms have already caused a vast amount of scandal in the commercial circles of the colony and it is very desirable in the interests of all concerned that further grounds for ill natured rumours should be carefully avoided.
