Mr. Molle-You saw no difficulty, when you were there, of supplying sufficient ore for twenty samps under the present conditions?

Mr. Duff-None at all.

The Chairman-None.

Mr. Leake-What is the value of the un- developed claims?

The Chairman-That it is impossible to say. Mr. Leake You speak of the Tiger Bill as a very valuable claim; you have no idea what the value is ?

The Chairman-We have no idea.

Mr. Leake-Then you will issue these debentures only on the property which you have worked up till now?
