MATTERS, says the Straits Times, are looking flourishing for at least two tin mining companies In the Malay Peninsula. We hear that some 2,000 bags of ore and rag slabs of tin have arrived from the Jelebu Tin Mining Co.'s mines during last month. From the Bentong mines, wo understand, 1,100 plculs of tin have been shipped to London since January and 300 more are tow awaiting shipment. We have heard so little good news of our mines lately that it is quite refreshing to know that work is steadily, if silently, going on. The Jelebu Company paid dividend of 3 per cent. last year, and if work goes on and the new railway shortens the cost of transport a further satisfactory dividend may be expected.

We understand that the Farmer does not persist in his former defence in which he pleaded that the agreement was invalid, and that after the end of this month he will be dealt with concerning any unpaid rent, and the difference between his contract price and that of the new contract.

His Worship held that there was no doubt about the defendant having the right to graze cattle under his lease, but that lease did not do away with the power of the Government to enforce regulations considered wise in the interests of the general public. This was, he recognised, only a test action, so he would do no more than confirm the decision arrived at by his predecessar on the bench, Mr. Robinson, and

Mr. Becher, writing on the loss of the Jalis mine, alluded to having to face the consequence of his reporting to the shareholders without having the information he intended collecting That culminating disaster, added to the gloom of immediate prospects, would, he feared, make it difficult to reconcile the shareholders with the existing state of things, and he could only trust that a settlement of the difficulty would be arrived at when the new Company Improved the present critical position, and arranged about sharing the expenses of the work.
