There is little to say with reference to the Campho concession, vet insufficiently known, but certainly it is extremely rich in coal of from 12 to 15 per cent. of vol tile matter, and of viy fine composition, producing a great quantity of large lumps. This concession, owing to its distance from Hongay, has been less actively "pushed on than the other concessions, which will sooner give practical results. However, it

GENERAL RIMARKS,

The greatest portion of the velos so far as in at present known,, can safely be described, as regards working, as powerful veins. In order to avoid the movement of earth, consequent on the working, which might expose the mine to infiltration of water from the surface, and also to avoid any risk of spontaneous combustion, possible in thick veins with intercalation of shale we shall proceed according to a method by complete embankment. Moreover, prudence will, for the first of these reasons, lead us to reserve, as aforesaid, a protective wall of from 50 to 100 yards thickness, under which the works will be carried on. One might do away with this reserve in the isolated veins, which will serve to supply the first wants without fear of compromising the whole working field.

Besides, and for the same reasons, the shafts near the coast will be independent and have a

limited area.

While the works now going on will give an increasing production, prospecting will be con- tinued throughout the various concessions, which we are rendering accessible, as well at the aur face as by soundings, so as to get new working fields when the others are exhausted, or when the wants will render them necessary.

It is impossible at present to estimate even approximately at what rate per ton the coal can he produced and shipped. At first sight it seems as if it might be higher than was expected; the labour, considering its present inferiority, will be rather expensive, at least for the period which will be required for the introduction of Chinese and Annamese coolies into the varied, delicate, and arduous labours of the mines. We shall partly remedy this defect by increasing the employment of machinery to the fullest extent possible with the condition of the layers, by encouraging the good workmen and by employ ing competent European workmen. The price of wood, obtained, on the Concessions or from outside, is extremely low. The working materials, machinery and skilled supervision will be expensive." Nevertheless the high prices of fuel leave a sufficiently large margin as to allow of an entire confidence being repesed in the durable prosperity of the Company.

The works are not yet advanced enough to allow of my indicating with certainly the period when we shall be able to produce coal of a standard composition to any quantity; but they have shown a coal-bed of immense richness in coal of good quality, especially in Hongay and Hatou. All I can say is that the time is not far distant when, by efficiently prepared working and well placed shafts and galleries, we shall produce gradually increasing quantities of fuck which must command an easy and profitable sajc.

I would only ask leave to insist on one point, and that is the avoidance of premature work which might compromise, or at all events render more risky and much more expensive, the work- ing of a coal-bed of extreme richness. The future is fully secured if those interested will have the patience to await for it. The present favorable prospects can only be diminished by too much impatience for immediate results, which the certainty of a brilliant future should diminish.

CORRESPONDENCE.

[We do not necessarily entorse the opiniors expressed by Correspondence In their column,

HONGKONG A FREE PORT,

TO THE EDITOR or the "Hongkang TernanaPH.” SIR,-1 have always been labouring under the impression that Hongkong, was a British colony and a Free Port. This afternoon 1 was however most disagreeably surprised to hear that a number of Custom House Officers, or, "ithers of that ilk," had pounced upon my ordinary baggage, impounded it on the Wharf of the H. & C. S. S. Co. and insisted upon my "Orderly man" producing my keys in order to let these "uncanny mortals, inspect the con tents of my trunks, and search for something, (which ennot be contraband, if this is a Free Port) which I neither taste, smell, nor handle, if I can possibly help it.

My object in writing this is to let those in authority know, that as a free and enlightened, or benighted, British subject, 1 decidedly object to having my baggage searched in a British Free Port, by anybody, and that it is quite possible that somebody has been overstepping his authority in permitting anyone to search, or pry into, the baggage of visitors to Hong kong. For the past 30 years I have been going backwards and forwards to the coast and River Ports of China, where there are regularly esta blished Custom Houses, but 1 have never been subjected to the annoyance given me to-day in the British Colonial Free Port of Hongkong.

Perhaps you or some of your readers may possibly be able to tell me who is responsible for this sort of thing, so that I may know who I have to deal with, in this unpleasant matter. Hoping you will excuse the length of this intru sion on your valuable space,-

I

W. MESNY.

I remain, as usual,

Yours faithfully,

Hongkong, 3rd June, 1889.

OUR STREETS.

TO TUR EDITOR OF THE" HomGKONG TALAGRAFIE," DEAR SIR,One of the reasons for the dilatory manner in which the Government have set about

clearing the principal street of the town from the state of chaos in which it has been buried for some days past, may be that no Government officials have the misfortune to reside in the Queen's Road, and not being put to any personal inconvenience by the hills and valleys which render walking in the street after dusk a source of danger to the humble citizen of Hongkong, these exalted persons have neither pity nor consideration for the ratepayers, the doors of whose houses in the Queen's Road are blocked with young mountains" of sand and mud, which have to be scaled each time they leave or enter their abodes."

In the early days of railways in England, it was suggested that a good way of diminishing the number of accidents, would be to compel ä director of the Railway Co.'s to necompany each train on its perilous journey, seated on the buffer of the engine. Perhaps, if HE the Governor of the Surveyor-General were compelled to pass

a few days and nights in one of the houses situated in Queen's Road Central, a little more crey would be displayed in the work of disin- terring the main thoroughfare of this city than is shown at present,

I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant,
