THE PUNJOM COMPANY.

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. on the 8th Inst., for the purpose of considering proposed alterations in the articles of association. Mr. J. Orange presided, and among those present were Messrs. D. Gillies, E. L Woodin, T.E. Davies, E. Georg, W. Legge, G. Fenwick, H. G. James, W. Parlane, H. Harms, J. Jones, D. W. Smith, G. Holmes, F. Soares, Meyer, Hohnke, Ripp. Daver, Samuel, Schwanke, &c., and A. O'D. Gourdin, Secretary.

The Chairman said-Gentlemen, the report

passed at the last meeting gave you the presant position of the working of the Company; "but as the accounts were rande up only to the gath December last, our balance at the Bank at the present momcht is very small, excluding the debt due by the Punjom Pahang Company; and the raising of fresh capital is imperative if this Company is to carry on operations. The encouraging news of the last crushing at Jalis, vir-18 or 14 dwts of gold from 30 tons, may do great deal towards settling matters in London; but in the meantime we should have fands in band so that, if the debt remains unpald after the expiration of cur notice or if remittances be not sent to falls, we should be able to pay axvenies 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

Case of any discovery of reef worthy of attention some little money might be spent is ascertaining its value. It would be suicidal to abandon all at the present time and, if mora funds be not subscribed, the Company must proceed to liquidation. It will be naturally asked what 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 Sunghie Dus portion of the Concession, by returning it to the Govern ment on terms to the agreed upon. This will mave 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 $2,500 per month. We should, therefore, have Bubscribed enough to last say one year, working on the above moderate scale, or say $40,000; but, wo ank. for power to issue at present $60,000, In case new discoveries warrant an Increased outlay; and the shareholders must realize that, unless a sum of $10,000

ba subscribed, the Company will probably be wound up; and it is therefore the duty of every share holder to help, as far as possible, to prevent the collapse of the properly, which the success of the adjoining works may make valuable. I would therefore ask you to pass the resolutions

Mr. James seconded the motion, which was carried.

The Chairman-The next resolution Is-“ To cancel and eliminate from the Articles of Association, paragraph 5 of Article XIII, the words "the Company may from time to time, by a resolution passed by at least three-quarters of the sharchalders present, representing at least half the shares of the company personally or by proxy at any extraordinary meeting repeal, alter, or make provisions in lieu of or la addition to the regulations of the Com- pany, whether contained in the Articles of Association or not."

By paragraph altogether we come eliminating this under the Companies Act, which is practically | the same as this, except that it does not make fascessary for halfthe shares to be represented, Where the shares are so widely distributed as In this Company, being held to Singapore, Is London, and isol ́en, it is very difficult to get half of them represented at a meeting, Do we ask that, tāls Arilcle shall be eliminated,.
