THE PERIN SYNDICATE

The Board has issued a statement recording the work done on railway and collieries during 'the past year," in the course of which it is stated:-

The railway starts from Tackou on the Wel River and runs along an easy country to Twang, 751 miles distant, where a branch of "about four miles in length take off to the Ja- Mei-Sen Colliery. All the earth works, most of the bridging and station buildings on the length to Tawang are completed; tails have been laid, a part of the ballasting has been done, construction trains are now running along the whole length. It has been decided to carry on the main line to the Important town , of Chinghwa, some 17 miles beyond Tawang. The survey has been done, land purchased, and work on construction is well in hand. A

survey for the extention of the railway into Shan-si to tap the great coalfields and 'iron' deposits of that province has been started, but no definite-alignment for this difficult piece of line has yet been decided on. Construction on the railway was first commenced in, Jane, 1992, and the progress to date is 75 miles practically completed line. A dock and some Soo ft. of wharf accommodation have been. nearly finished at Tackon for the shipping of coal along the Wei River and Grand Canal. The chief mining engineer, Mr. Alexander Reid, states that there is every evidence of an unbroken coalfield of enormous extent in Honan. Some trials have been made in China on locomotives and marine boilers with the Honan coal, and the results have heen gen., erally satisfactory. A great feature of this coal is that there is an entire absence of smoke during combustion, and its value as a fuel for naval purposes is therefore evident.

With the view of consolidating British in.
