HAUB GOLD WINES.

TUR. DEEP SHAFT,

There is little to record of any progress mada in the gold-mining industry. It is, I think, great pity that the sinking of the deep shaft at . Raub' was discontinued. If the Government

and the Raub Australian Gold Mining Com pany were justified-to-begin with in sinking sbis jolat shaft, subsequent developments have

not in any way Justified the discontinuance of so doing. It" was an experiment puro end simple, and would have proved the value or the worthlessness of a large field, the geological formation of which is favourable to the occur. rence of gold.—Warden of Mines Annual Report:

Application was made at the High Court on July 14 before Justice Boddam and Miller for, the release of Sir George Arbuthnot on bail.

"In the summer of 1935, before the treaty of Portsmouth, Korea.received the first Russian communications about the present conference, called at the instigation of President Roosevelt, and entrusted her minister at St. Petersburg. Prince Yi Tchene Pomm, to represent ber at The Hague,"

Keiraku Tsuzuki, head of the Japanesa dele* gation, speaking to the Associated Press la regard to the matter, said:..

"The Dutch government officially stated that Korea was not and could not be invited to the conference. Therefore, the Korean delegation, it is asserted, cannot receive any recognition."

Mr. Napier objected to the large amount releas as the second which is generally the one quired, quoting authorities to the effect that bail should not be made punitive, but their Lordships held that the bail required must bear some relation to the amouats involved.,..

ACCUSEL'S PATHETIC APPIAL. SUICIDE NOT THOUGHT OF.. Mr. Napler's application for the release of Sir George Arbuthnot'on bail was supported by two affidavits, one by Sir George Arbuthnot and the other by Sir Henry King. The follow. Ing is from Sir George's affidavit,

Bangkok has hardly yet attained a position jy which a boarding-house scheme would meat with success. But that can only be tested by actual experiment. We have two or three very excellent hotels in Bangkok, but they are rot specially run for the accommodation of our local bachelors. Ono need col, perhaps, dilate on that ever fruitful source of bachelor discontent, the vagaries of the cook and the peculiar ways of the "boys. They are a con. tinual source of invitation.
