We have seen many ebullitions of petty resent- ment on his part, usually arising out of some Unofficial's utterance in the Legislative Council chamber, as, for instance, was notably exemplified in the recent uncalled- for attack upon the Hon.

The Chairman anid-Gentlemen, and accounts baving been in your hands for some days will, with your permission, be taken as send. We should like to have had them sent aut a little sooner, but Mr. Blamey's report being rather a lengthy one, the printing and getting them put took more time than we saticipated The net result of the year's work is that the credit balance of $15,300 brought forward from last year's account has been reduced to $11.939, or in other words we have spent about $3,400 more than we made. This is, however, more than offset by the item of $3,077 for cyanide we have actually just covered our working expenses. Nothing has been spent on or charged, to Capital beroad about Safe for campicting the establishment of the Cyanide Plant, raising the total first cost of same to $20,708. The only other item in the Balance Sheet I think I need reler to is that of unpaid calls amounting to reduced to $294, and the shareholders from whom $3,319, all for the final call. This has since been this is dos have now received notice that their shares will be forfeited, I may explain that the amounts of $1.75 and $16 for and and 3rd calls were actually paid long ago but could not be credited to Capital through Informalities in connection with the scrip, otherwise of course. the shares would have been forfelred ere this Some of you may perhaps wonder how the value of the estate has risen from $152,000 to 8155,800, but it is merely a matter of book-keeping, the difference being the $1.50 credited as paid up on shares which were not taken up, and which were sold during the year, and which $3.50 was the pany for the property it took over. Turning to payment by the new Company. to the old Com the Working Account, the item of Administration in last year's account has been abolished and I think the various heads of expenditure are „Dow so stated that shareholders can bare litile "difficulty in seeing where the money has gone, to 13,850, seem rather high and are now being The general expenses, etc., at Panjom, amounting

When the process was first mooted I was, an many of you know, one of those who deprecated reablog into it without sufficient funds fa hand and just as I was agalost undue baste then so we would ask you now not to be too ready to condemn the process without giving it a fair trial all round. It has cost us nearly $25,000 $ far, and it says something for the resources of the with the sssistance of a call of only $15,000. I will not detain you farther, gentlemen, beyond re- marking that we have every reasons to be satisfied withthe way in which Mr. Blamey and his assist ants have done their work and attended to your interests at the mino and assuring you that your Directors on their part are doing all in their dividend-paying one. Some talk there has been power to make the Company a successful of selling part of our concession at home but I think that until we can fake some money for ourselves and prove to the pubile that car concession can really be worked at a good profit we may defer the consideration of all "such schemes for the present. Before moving the adoption of the report and accounts I shall be pleased to answer xoy qumilon you may have to put to me.

Mr. Mohta:Mr. Chairman, I should like to ask whether the directors havé any scheme for the development of the Goban fields.

Mr. Mehta:-I did'not mean so much neglected attention to it. as that the Board does not seem to pay any

The Chairman then explained that owing, to the amount It would cost to develop there fields, and the royalty that would have to be paid to the Soltan, it was considered best by the Board not to develop the fields just yet, I possible it was the wish of the

Board to sell them, and Mr. Giles had the matter la hand in London. The great want of the com "pany was money, and as the cyanide process requited all their present funds nothing could be done with the Goban fields until a return was received from the other works. The matter bad received the attention of the Board several times, and that was the declalon,,
