By eliminating this paragraph altogether we come under the Companies Act, which is practically the same as this, except that it does not make it necessary for half the shares to be represented. Where the shares are so widely distributed as in this Company, being held in Singapore, in London, and so on, it is very difficult to get half of them represented at a meeting, so we ask that this Article shall be eliminated. We can then act if we have a quorum of ten sharehold rs.

Mr. Legge proposed the resolution. Mr. Judah seconded, and it was agreed to, The Chairman-The next resolution is "That the Articles of Association be amended by the addition of the following clause in para. It of Section 16 That the directors may, at their discretion, abandon or surrender the whole; or any part, of the Company's property in Sunghei Dua Samantan, situated in the Malay State of Pahang, on such terms and conditions as they may think fit." The paragraph at present, he said, gave them power to deal with the producti thereof, but not to abandon any of it, and in seemed to the directors that they might Ret better terms from the Government for their Punjom property if they gave up Sunghet Dus: perhaps they might get back part of their outlay on it, or, of they decided not to work it, they could dispose of it on the best terms obtainable.

REVISION OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.
The adjourned extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders in the above Company was held at the offices of the Company, Queen's Road, this afternoon, for the purpose of considering proposed alterations in the articles ofassociation, Mr. J. Orange presided, and among those present were Messrs. D. Gillies, E. L. Woodin, T. E. Davies, E. Geprg, W. Legge, G. Fenwick, H. G, James, W. Parlane, H. Harms, I. Jouts, D. W. Smith, G. Holmes, F. Soares, Meyer, Hohnke, Rapp, Daver, Samuel, Schwenke, &c, and A. O'D. Gourdin, Secretary.
The Chairman said (-Gentlemen, the report passed at the last meeting gave you the present position of the working of the Company but as the accounts were made up only to the 3 th December last, our balance at the Bank at the present moment is very small, excluding the debt due by the Punjom Pabang Company and the raising of fresh capital is imperative if this The Company is to carry on operations. encouraging news of the inat crushing at Jalis, 18 oz 14 dwts, of gold from jo tons, may do a great deal towards settling matters in London; but in the meantime we should have funds in hand so that, if the debt remains unpaid after the expiration of our notice or I remittances be not sent to Jalis, we should be able to pay expenses at the Mines, while deciding on any future course of action. Also during this period of delay we must go on prospecting, and so keep possession of our valuable Concession; and also In case of any discovery of reel worthy of attention some little money might be spent in ascertaining its value. It would be suicidal to abandon all at the present time and, if more funds be, not subscribed, the Company must proceed to liquidation. It will be naturally asked "hat amount of money is actually required, and what are the future lines of working, and the expenses? We propose, with your sanction, to try and dispose of the Sanghie Dua portion of the Concession, by returning it to the Govern. ment on terms to the agreed upon. This will save an expenditure of $1,000 per month. We would then confine our expenses at Punjom to about $1,000 per month, and Head office and Singapore, Sinyum, and other expenses might be reckoned to make up a total cost of about
