I have the honor to herewith forward you my report of the progress made with the work of developing the Raub mises for the half year ending the above date.

Since commencing tr open nut la March, 1,200 tons of crushing stuff have been stoped from over the back of the main level 1,000 tons of which were included In the last crushing.

Prospecting-Two Europeans for three months and one during the whole time, also two or three parties of coolies, have been kept con- stantly employed at this work. The following is the prospecting work done --

This is one of the places specially referred to in Sungai Argos-about 34 miles north of Raub. Mr. Robert Sefton's original report as being very rich. (This report could only have been made on the statements of natives as the place bore no signs of having been worked for years) Taking advantage of the long period of dry, weather we have been favoured with, and by working night and day with a strong force of coolles I got to bottom of old workings 22 feet. The lode was exposed in and end of our shaft for a width of y feet; how much wider it is I cannot say as it went out of the shaft on the cast side; from appearances I should say it is of considerable which.

Some of the leaders are extremely rich, but a large quantity of the adjoining country rock in which there is no geld, has to be taken, to save the whole of the gold bearing stuff.

In the end north of the engine shaft, the main level has been dilven 370 feet, making the total distance from shaft to face of drive 446 feet. A large amount of stoping and driving has been done in this part of the mine, all the good leaders near the shaft have been worked out to this level. There is still a good number yet to be worked (as we go north) and, as we continue to drive north, we are still cutting fresh gold bearing ones-Four air shafts have been sunk from 43 to 79 feet deep, making the total amount of

He and his shadow make a pair.

Gregory King was thoroughly out of temper that evening.

First grief; he had broken a tooth over an iron shot in his pheasant. Broken an excellent tooth. which showed a good deal when he smiled the mile that was so becoming to him. Of course it was the boy's fault, for having bought a pheasant killed with iron shot. But where was the satisfaction in swearing at him? The idiot understood no expression that did not begin and end with a D. He actually thought his master called for more potatoes, or, A broken tooth grim irony, a toothpick. was grief enough to last, an ordinary mortal a long time.

Their mode of doing so is to fix a kind of large sacket chisel on the end of a long pole (called by the native "a pengalah standing on a stage above the water level. Several men work this until part of the vein is broken off, they then dive down and bring up the stuff (so broken) in a cocoanut shell and the gold bearing portions are picked out. It is surprising the large extent of ground worked by these means; where the veins are very rich they have worked to a depth of 25 to 30 feet below water level.

But Gregory's experience of the world had taught him this mis- understanding could not long continue. What would Mrs. Brown have already done?

And then bow would he, Gregory King, stand in the eyes of Mrs. Brown, of Dr. Mackenzie, even of that Peter Wong, with his fat face and course black hair?
