This process af absorption gradually disappears as the plates are used. Then there has been too much leak: age as shown by the assays of the tailings An Improvement has been effected here. On the whole, I am of opinion that we did well for s first crushing, especially taking into considera tion the class of ore treated.
As regards the prospects of the mloe, I made a careful inspection of all the different workings before leaving, and am able to say that all the drifts at the 40 and roo foot levels looked most encouraging. No man can look into the earth, and we can only be guided by what appearances point to,

He found a vein with strong out-croppings the whole way for half-a-mile and on the prospecta from this hill the directors were recommended to order the other mill. There had, however, already been the waste of time on Sugasioaf Hill and this was the second blow the company receiv ed. Finally the mill was ordered and then there came the third blow; the war broke out. ing goods for Russian ports and that had to be transhipped and other vessels found, thus causing further delay. Then the directors found they had hot sufficient working capital and the public had lost confidence in the mine, There are people in Shanghai, who do not be. lieve in a mine at Weihalweint all, and there is a certain reason for that in the geological formation of the province, broken up so that although there is gold in many places, it occurs is such small patches that it does not pay to work. The people mentioned did not think this mine was any different from the others. The share- holders had to do something to restore con- fidence, and so preference shares were issued, There was no necessity for such a wording, and

Mr. Speelman-Let the Chairman make his speech first.
The Shareholder--I want to speak on that circulat. I don't think anything can excuse the conduct of the Directors in issuing such a circular, which has caused a panic and sent down the value of our shares practically to zero.

Now, Gentlemen, your Directors, desiting to know how the December crushing was turning out sent the following cable :-"How many do you expect dwts, per ton of 2,140 lbs. Decem- ber, Board."

It now remains to be settled how the money is to be provided.
