THE RAUB GOLD MINE.

A Pabang correspondent writes as follows:- Exceedingly heavy rains following suddenly upon a long period of exceptional drought have again wrought devastation at the Raub Co.'s power station. Huge trees and immense tasses of earth have in part carried away and in part buried the wooden flume which conveys water from the masonry dam into the pipe line that supplies the turbines driving the electric generators. Though the damage is not nearly so great as that caused two years ago by the tin miners' tailings choking the pipe line, it is still serious enough, not less in the cost of the repairs than in the reduction of the output from the mill during the idle period while power is aut forthcoming.

It must not be. understood, however, that idleness reigns at Raub. Just as, in spor, the demolition of the power station was made the occasion for re-timbering the main shaft at Bukit Koman, which would in any case have compelled a long stoppage, so now the oppor- unity is being taken to replace the old steam winding and pumping gear by electrically driven machinery, and to introduce changes which are expected to most materially reduce working costs in the future.
