By a telegram received from the mines, the parport of which has already been given you through the newspapers, we feel as ared the sale of our properties (together with those of the Olivers Freehold Mines Company) to the Anglo Australian Company of London will not take place and are dally waiting a telegram from London confirming this. In the long run I think share holders will be the gainers, for (as 1 told you a private meciing some weeks ago) your minun are now being worked efficiently and economics sily by the staff of Messrs John D. Humphreys & Son, who speak most hopefaily of success in the near future, and I think, gentlemen, the wil- lingness of Messrs John D. Humphreys & Son to take over the General Management, pay off the existing loan, to take the amount in prafer ance shares and finance for the working of the Company, until an issue of preference share (toons Actonio Ossorio, provide funds which will be necessary) can be made, should satisfy you of the good opinion Mr. Humphreys (now in Australia) must have of your properties.
