JELEBU MINING AND TRADING CO., LTD.

T

The ordinary general meeting of the above Company was held at noon 9th inst, at the office of the General Agents, Messrs. Syme and Co., for the purpose of receiving the Directors report land accounts for the half-year ended February, 18th 1901.

There were present Mr. A. Barker (Chair mon), Messrs. C. J. K. Van Alst and Nathan (Directors) and Messrs. Ewald, Scott Russell Dietz, and others.

The Chairman having read the notice calling the meeting, the minutes of the last ordinary meeting were rend and confirmed, and the adoption of the Directors' Report and accounts for the last half year was moved by the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Ewald and passed unanimously.

In moving the adoption of the above report, Mr. Barker remarked that during the past six moriths, work at both the Rin and Glami lodes had been pushed forward vigorously, but they had been hampered by their extremely im perfect winding gear, which had only permitted of stone being taken from the surface, it being impossible to have taken it from a lower depth, Now, however, two new sets of winding gear had been purchased, and they had already been shipped Seremban and as soon as these were erected and in working order it would be possible to get stone from the bottom, and to go on in a very much improved manner. With twenty. head of stamps in working order and new winding gear there was no doubt, of better returns. With regard to the Rin Lade there was enough, stone in sight there to keep the batteries going for another three years. In the report it was stated that there was only enough stone in sight for another year, but this referred to the Glami. Lode only. The prospect was an extremely satisfactory one. The Chairman then went on to say that according in an estimate formed on the retums for the past year, it had been derided to increase the crush ing power by ordering another ten head of stamps. In doing so they felt they were per fectly justified since with thirty head of stamps and their machinery in good working order, the operations of the Company must be greatly ex tended. He thought that after all the disappoint. ment and dangers through which the Company had passed, at last they were in a safe position, on a rocky bottom and there were good times, ahead for the shareholders as a reward for their patience. In concluding, Mr. Barker said that he hoped that in a year hence the Profit and Loss Account, would be wiped out, for of course until that was wiped out, there could be no dividends, as the Directors believed that that was the better and the safer course to take.

Mr. Ewald asked several questions rela live to the proposal to add the extra ten head of stamps, mentioning that when the old Directors had decided on the addition of stamps, the percentage from crushing results was higher than now. He only wanted to be assured of the favourable future of which the Chairman had spoken? He would also like to know had the Company a sufficient supply of firewood?..

All the questions were answered satisfactorily by the Chairman and the Mine Manager, Mr. Gardner, who was present. The latter gentle nsan mentioned that the low percentage of crushing at present, was accounted for by the fact that they were crushing almost worthless stuf, taken from the surface, but there was plenty of good stone further down and with the

new machinery they would be able to get it A to the supply of firewood, there was a sufficient supply now in hand to last six months,

a thing before unknown at the mine.

In concluding the debate, the Chairman' remarked that according as information con tinued to come in as to die' inining progress, it would be laid before the shareholders, that they might not be kept in the dark as to what was going on and monthly reports from the Manager would be inserted in the local papers.

Mr. Barker, the Director to retire by rota tion was then re-nominated for office, being proposed by Mr. Dietz; seconded by Mr. Scott

Russell and re-elected nem con...
