I may mention that it has taken 12 months to define the boundary hne-only of our 200 square miles of land, at a cost of about $10,000. Some work of the nature suggested has,lready been undertaken by Messrs. Brown, Tren h, and Leclubruggen, who are on the Company's staff, but only in places whare it was not difficult to penetrate. The Directors have considered that it would he more desirable to ascertain, at less cest, the value of the p operty at various points to cimbrace a certain aren of land with a view to their sale and 'et the purchaser do the rest of the surveying. With regard to the extension of the leases referred to in the report our original leases from the Sultan contained the clause that all ground not worked within a perind of five years would be resugied by the State, and the five years in question expired last April. For some time past we have been in communication with the British Resident at Pahang and the Straits Government touching this important matter, with a view of obtaining a farther exter ded period for prospecting the pro- party. At first we were unable to get the Govern ment to accede to our request, but after some delay and further correspondence the Govern- ⚫tment consented to grant us an extension of 3 years. Your Directors however considered that they had a just and fair righ to claim the same number of years s'ated in the original leases, and Mr. Brodie, being then at the mines, was authorised to negotiate with both the Pahang and Straits Governments and endeavour to obtain the fur- ther 2 years, and your Directors are now glad to inform you that his forcible representations have been en far successful that we have been granted the fell 5 years extension, bul, however, with a certain condition attached to which I have afready refered at the private meeting. All the information we possess relating to the sale of the 20 square miles of Punjom has been given you at the private meeting to-day and there is no occa sion to say much more on the subject here. The documents necessary to effect the transfer are now in Singapore and Mr. Brodis will remain there until the matter is finally an.nged, but we trust that a wire will shortly reach us saying that everything has been satisfactorily con- cinded.
Reference is made in the report to Mr. Brodic's appointment as Managing Director and his visit to our Concessions. He has obtained murh useful and valuable information regarding the work being carried on the mines and the follow ing particulars from his report dated 9th May from 1'uvjom may interest you as they have been gathered from his own personal observations.
"On the morning after my arrival I went down the Jalis nine, our central and principal work- ing. There has been a large amount of work dene terem the 50 feet level, much time ard money having been expended without any result. Now however we are working the lole at the to feet level, which is as low as we con go with our present pumps, and we have, am glad to say, a very encouraging face in our East level. We have here leaders of gold-bearing quagiz, one about 4 inches wide and one about inch in width. The lode, through which we have already driven about 15 feet and which is estimated to be about 200 feet wide, is of the found at Raub. Rich same black shale specimens are got daily from these leaders, and if they widen out in depth, at every one seems to think they ought and will do, a good lime for Purjo may he at hand. In any case our indications here are most encouraging and the new Company ought at once to pet in posities the 12 inch pump now lying at Punjem and get down as quickly as possible to strike the Inte, at, say, oft, where in all probability the lede is solid and undisturbed and the quartz in sch thickness as to give good profitable results. I have been through the workings at Slange. The outcrop is. N. E. of, and about half a mile | distant from, Jals, and is apparently a continu ation of the min black lord. We ought to sink here at once and I shall recommend the pur- chase of a inch pump and Rebey enuine for the purpose.

I will propose that as soon as he comes out he he dismissed.
The Chairman-His period of agreement is not up yet.
Mr. Fraser-Smith-The duties that he was. sent homes ecially to perform have not been per- form as they should have been; we hear report after report, from engineers and managers, and naw Mr. Brodie goes down and tells us there has been a lot of money expended. If you can't get the, services at a competent manager to direct affails on the spot, then the suggestion thrown out by Mr. James at the private meeting might very well be adopted (Applause). Î hink we are all agreed that the directors, con- sidering the severe difficulties under which they labored; have done the best they possibly could to forward the interests of the shareholders they have not been very successful, but I myself -and most of you here will agree with me, I think-admit that that has not been their fault (Hear hear), There have been a great many reports circulating, as usual, regarding members of the Board, but it is known that others are very substantial investors in the
Company, and always have been, and although things have gone from bad to worse, and are nat very promising now, they still have the con- fidence of the shareholders, (Applause),
The Chairman-On behalf of my colleagues and myself I thank you for the kind expression. of confidence. We have done our best to carry un the Company's niftirs to the best advantage. Mr. Apear is quired what salary Mr. Brodie get.

However, it was arranged that in the event of the chief officer complying with the suggestion of the Association, he should be financially supported until another ship was found for him. The officer in question at once agreed to act in accordance with the ruling of the Association and will, it is stated, leave the Nanxing as soon as she returns to Hongkong.

This affair, which is merely an ordinary example of innumerable acts of the kind during late years, will doub less convince officers of the necessity for combination and the wisdom of the step, which they have taken in farming an Association for their mutual protection.

It will be interesting to observe the upshot of the Nansing episode which has now cropped up; and we are certain that ship-owners, ship-masters, and the public generally will desire to see justice done to all parties concerned. On both sides any abuse should be carefully avolded; both have important interests to preserve, and in doing so efficiently there is nothing to prevent them from keeping strictly within their legitimate rights. To the officers this caution is especially important, as by so doing they will carry with them the sympathy of the general public and probably the good-will of British ship-owners as well,
