SIR-I wish through the medium of your valuable paper to take the easiest opportunity of thanking Mr. W. Farmer for the most vald able and disinterested assistance he has given to the members of the "Naval Amateur Variery Company" in undertaking the entire production of the Death of Nelson" tables. Mr. Farmer bra devoted the greater part of his time for the past fortelght to painting scenery, desige Ing, grouping and mounting the tableaux, and arranging the mechanical effects, and to him we owe the success of the plece. I am therefore desirous of publicly thanking him in the name of the Company.

Your's truly,

GEO. SOUTH,

Manager. Hongkong Backyard, August 17th, 1891. [We are lad to give space to. M. South's letter, although it is scarcely a subject for the cor- pendence column of a public newspaper, Mr. Farmer is undoubtedly entitled to recogel tion lot the excellent work he has done in getting up true interesting tableaux, which Commemorate oneofthe grandest achievements In British History, and we qu'te agree with Mr. South that the accent of the representations has been mal ly due to that genil mam's ok!!! and energy.

THE TAMCHOW MINES.

Mr. S. B. Srum, the mi- Ing expert in charge of the silver mines at Tamehow, near Canton, reported as follows to Mr. He Amei, the managing director of the Company, under date August 5th:-

The stem-launch Hing-Po takes to Canton to-day 1,566 65 acts of refised silver in seven cakes, the results from smelting the sing and cupel-bottoms accumulated, during the fourth And fifth moont. The 1,016 08 tacir taken recently to Canton were the product of the last two vats of ore from the fifth moon.

"We are at present busily engaged in milling and tasting the ore mined during the sixth moon, and I anticipate salafactory results. Our underground works, I am glad to be able to report, have not again been troubled with bad air. The steam-jet had only to be applied for one night, when natural ventilation was restored, and everything has remained in excellent order

ever since."
