THE GREEN ISLAND CEMENT WORKS.

(DY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) Of the various industrial enterprises which owe their existence to Hongkong capitalists there is none that rests on a more sotkl basis and offers better prospects to those immediately interested in its success than the cement manufactory Intely constructed on the pictures he le apht known as the 'The Verde' in

Like many other al undertakings, the Green Island Cement company, Limited, began operations under circumstances which, to say the least, were strongly suggestive of an ephemeral existence. The scheme, although its inception was due to foreign foresight, "was practically in Chinese hands and under Chinese domination, and even after making every allowance for the energy displayed it must be admitted that the earlier management kf much that was to be desired in the shape of technical ́skill and business experience.” The Company : was originally formed, as a joint stack concern, with a capital of $50,000 divided into ten thrusand shares of $25, cach, to manufacture cement on Green Isisud a puution of which had bean coded to the promoters hy the Bishop of Macon, representing St. Joseph's College, this institution holding moorietsry, rights over the place.
