WHAT'S UP WI`NAUBS?
A good many people in Hongkong have been exercised in their minds about Raub shares lately, Perhaps the following letter to the Straits Timer of the 14th instant, will interest them
|
Sir,—I shall be obliged if yan will insert the following letter in your paper: The reports on Raub by Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Herbert Curle, as published in the Straits Times, and which have caused such bad impression among shareholders and the public, vary somewhat, as to the value of Bukit Kuman mine. The former puts down the quantity of payable stone, ( stone carrying 15 dwts, or upwards to the ton) as approximately 60,000 tons while 500 600 Total, the fatter values it at 35,000 tons-a vast differ:

ence of opinion. While on this subject 1 32
should like to point out to you the utter-im- possibility of either of these gentlemen being able to give you anything like an accurate estimate of the number of tons of ore in sight, or the value of each ore, because the reef for mation in Raub is patchy and varies in size. Some four years ago, I had the pleasure of examining the Bukit Koman mine with the 200 500 600 Tutal. late Mr. Bibby, and from my experience in gold mining Palang and elsewhere, came to the conclusion that it was a very promis. ing property and I still believe so. Though a large quantity of the best quartz, has been extracted and milled from above the 14cft. level, there is, every probability of a large quantity still remaining undiscovered, especial- ly below the i. level. "From the go ft. level to the 240 ft. level only 3 winzes hare been sunk to prove the value of the loile and for ventilation. No. 1 is 123 ft. south of the | main shaft; No. 2, 164 ft. further south, leaving a distance of 341 ft. between these winzus, Leong Lin got 3 weeks hard labour for which amotats to a block of quartz.342'x too'. The thickness of reef, as near as I can as- stealing a bag of rice valued at $5.50.
certain by reports, is 6', or about 15,700 tons In my opinion these winzes are too far apart and leave a farge extent of ground unproven The summe remark applies to the wines in North level. Hetween No i bouth level winze and No.¡ Nortly level winze must be a distance of 317% 100x713 17,669 tons. The fol- lowing remarks from Mr. McCarthy's report show at these blocks of quartz are nine- litely underneath the stope in the 140 ft. level that produced rich quartz, and there is every reason to believe this rich quartz will continue down from the 140 ft. towards the 240 ft. at least some distance. Mr. McCarthy writes:- 440'. Level, North--Opposite the main shaft, the formation was fully to . in with, dipping" to 85" to the cast, and carried in it a wide body of ore, since stoped out, up to the old working, abové, and for a distance of 100 ft, to the north, and 200 it, to the south of the shaft. Beyond the rooft, nont the stopes now working are being opened up upon the hanging wall side of the formation, that on the foot-wall and richer portion having been long since stop ed out. A cross-cut from the lending stope 32 ft. in length cuts into these old filled-in stopes, and has lately been driven in the hope of picking Lunchies of ore overlooked and lett behind. A sample of a small bunch thus left gave 1 oz. 12 dwt 6 ge per ton, proving the me to have been very good.

yet, in that the guld holds, dúwn to this lower level, where the whole nature of the reef is changed from a soft oxidized body to that of a light hard mineralized ure, it is in itself a good sign; and with levels opened up below, larger areas of payable ground may be met than have been found in this one. This question is one that must affect the whole policy of working the Raub Coscession.
he does not hold out such hopes as the share
His remarks are cautiously made, and though holders have been looking for, he says there are good signs in the bottom level. From what I saw on the bottom level of Bukit Koman I must support this gentleman in this opinion. Mr. Curle's report coming so quickly after Mr. McCarthy's has no doubt made people think that Raub is practically a ruined property. This I do not believe. There has lately been a great deal of gambling in Raub shares. This may probably have had a great deal to do with the bad reports flying about Singapore

SHALL SOLDIERS.
An Englishman named Ellis has called the English volunteers such insulting names as "little undersized starvelings... decked out in khaki... a discredit to the British Army"
and “men picked up in the slums."
The Spectator attacks him for this. It says that the untrained big man will beat the un- trained little man at fisticuffs or in a wrestling match, but in trained armies weight tells for very little. So long as their armies were re cruited from the cities and villages of Italy, the small-limbed Romans defeated the large- limbed Germans in almost every encounter, and this although the men of the forest were: hunters, loved in the open air, and ate, it is always assumed, quantities of meat. The wiry little Roman who took blows from a vine slock from his own officer must have been one of the best soldiers who ever lived. It was after Romne had enlisted the big barbarians in scures of thousands that her standards went back in battle. The slight and pallid Saracen drove the picked soldier of Europe out of Palestine. If armour is any test, the heroes of the Middle Ages were comparatively little men. Of the men who fought at Jena, the Frenchnien were probably by 10 per cent, the smaller, yet Gernian, Pomeranian, and Pole alike receded before their charge. There are probably no such men in the world as, are to be found in our. Sikh regiments, their average being nearly two inches higher than our own, yet Englishnien defeated them at Sobreon. and if they revolted our officers would lead the undersized Choorkas against them with perfect confidence. That the Japa nese dwarfs defeated the. Chinese may bo a counted nothing; but experienced officers who have watched the former in action believe that they would beat the Rus stans, an opinion, which is shared by the Sikhs, who have observed both, which is the more 'remarkable because the Sikh has to overcome an instinctive feeling about the European. Our own "light" regiments-e, the Rifle Brigade
which, because they are "light," are tolerant of weeds," are among the best regiments in the Service; cor is there any regiment in the world that would not be proud of defeating Zouaves, whose average low stature has fre- quently been commented on. The truth is that weight and height have almost as little to do with fitness for soldiering as with fitness for command.
|
a man--the next best is supplied by the popuła. | tion of the great crowded cities, which lives on the whole the hardest life of the entire com- munity. There will then be no reason for distrusting, still less for scorning, the military quality of two-thirds of our population.

HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI BANK ROBBERY.
FURTHER DETAILS.
|_ (Straits Times; lung 13th) The activity of the police and bank officials In connection with the solution of the mystery surrounding the recent Hongkong and Shang hai Bank robbery has already been alluded to in these columns. Several arrests have been made, and these have resulted, as will be seen from the appended report, in several charges at the Second Police Court this morning. After the charges had been read over to the prisoners, who are all Klings, the proceedings were adjoumed for one week.
of
This morning, fourteen individuals, two them.women, were brought before Mr. Michell in connection with the recent robbery of $270,000 at the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank.
The following are the details of offences laid
Kechil Mahin is charged with abetment of Nina Mahomed and with receiving $15,000, the property of the Bank.
Ana Nina Mahomed and Kader Mydin arc charged with receiving the sum of $3,000, the property of the bank.
Noor Mahomed Abubaker, and Kupensah are charged with having on the 31st of March last retained a keys stolen from, and the property of, the bank.
Mahomed Hassain is charged with aiding and abetting Niua Mahomed, in consequence of which abetment the offence of theft was committed; Inspector Walcham asked for a postponement for a week. This was granted, bail pot allowed.':
What is the financial position? Answer. Profit, in sight in the mine...49,000 1,000
£50,000 Taking these figures as correct, this is a good sum, and, with judicious management and systematical working, will go a long way to further develop the property and prove the continuance of gold-bearing formation in depth.

Mr.. McCarthy speaks of the 240 ft. level in Bukit Koman as follows:
