Tokio, 28th July, falto a.m. The Saghalien army reports that at 1 p.m. on the 24th. Inst., one detachment drove the enemy near First Alcova, and- occupied the line extending from Polowinka to Second Alcova. The enemy in that direction, consisted of one infantry battalion, some volunteers and about eight field guns. The enemy fled in disorder towards Lonikov. Previous, to this engagement another de tachment under cover of the destroyers was sent to the pier of Alexandrov which the enemy was trying to burn. That detach

ment succeeded in taking possession of the pler unburnt and repulsing the enemy by repeated attacks.

The location of the new shaft had to be adapted to three paramount conditions:-{a} solid ground to sink in and build on; (8) accessibility to all lodes; (c) facility for auto matic conveyance al are to mill. Hence the sita chosen. But this site, being necessarily of the line of our present principal lode, is less convenient than the old shaft for that lode alone at shallow depths. Therefore, when. it began to look as if even at 440 ft. we were going to encounter little or no payable stone, Grilled there was only one rational course to be taken, Y:-To suspend outlay on the new shafrontil everything possible had been done with the old, or till circumstances warranted its resump- tion.

R. Norman said: At 2 p.m. on the 24th July, 1905, I was on duty by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's buoy in the central fairway. I noticed the steam launch Ping Po coming from. Yau- matt towards the Southern fairway at the same time the Standard was approaching from east to west, the Standard being on the port side of the Ping Ps. The Standard held her course, and compelled the Ping Po to alter her course some so to starboard. Had the Ping Po not done so there would have been a collision of a certainty. The Ping Po afterwards passed under the stern of the Standard. The defend- ant was not at the wheel of the Standard.

ALLEGED MURDER.

SUSPECT IDENTIFIED BY PRIEST,

The foreman in the shipyard at Quarry Bay spoke to finding the body, at 9 a.m. op the 218. June, floating close to the shipyard. A piece of string was in the mouth.

Inspector Robertson said that the string was tied at the back of the neck and was hanging loosely down the back. He examined the body, but found no wounds or marks of violence A woman subsequently reported that deceased had been missing since to p.m. the previous night, and that she had found the girl's boat on the foreshore, at Saiwanto. She retumed at 7 a.m. accompanied by deceased's mother, and, in consequence of the statement the latter made, witness went with them to village boat 5507, and there in the stern he found a board with fresh blood upon it.

There is, however, another side to the picture, As fast as we have cut down expenses, the grade of the ore has fallen oft.

diminishing, and, though there were transient improvements, the general tendency has been downwards, with a decided impoverishment in depth. To what extent this last feature may continue, will only be known as still greater depth is reached--it may be only Incal, or it may be persistent. Had the previous year's. average of 5 dwt, been maintained, we should have earned a handsome profit. As it is, we have only just kept our heads above water. So long as this can be done, there is room for hope, and that it can be done, especially when the tailings' treatment shall help to swell the revenue, I have not the smallest doubt. Mean time, we can only patiently await future de- velopments, and economise. At any rate, there is a large amount of surface and shallow ground which can be profitably worked.

Doubt less the district is popular with the Chinese, but rational handling of the coolies has much more to do with the good work we get out of Lai Yat Ming said he was a priest, living at them than any other cause or combination of Causeway Bay, On the night in question he causes, each in his special class of labour be was walking to Shaukiwan, when he saw a boating wonderfully cheap, and efficient when well row in towards the shore, and went towards it to engage it to take him to Shaukiwan, and when he got near he saw three men land from it, and run towards the road, leaving no one in the boat. He noticed the three men. The defendant was one of those three men. It was a bright moonlight night and he could are his face quite clearly. Witness picked out the defendant from among twelve others all dressed alike.

Timber and Firewood-We still have abundant supplies of both the hard and soft building woods, mine poles and slabs, and fire. wood, within the limits of the concession. Our average monthly consumption of mine timber costs us 3goo, and we have lately been using four or five times that amount for new construction work. Our firewood bill has been reduced from over $2,000 a month to between Sago and $300, since the extended application of glycİJİ

Plant and Machinery.-The installation of great inroads on our capital, principally in new plant and machinery has again made connection with the extension of electric mrtive power, and, the cyanidation of our tailings.

The elegirically-driven Cornish pump-the first and only one of its kind in the whole world-was put to work in July, and has run beautifully without a moment's stop ever since. It is a most successful installation, and its economy is remarkable, saving at least $1,000
