The Telegraph understands that one of the largest contracts in the history of the Colony mining has been given to a Hongkong firm by Messrs. Neilson & Co., Inc., the prominent Manila mining engineers.

The contract is in connection with the property of the Hongkong Mines, Ltd., on the Kwangtung-Hongkong border, about 27 miles from Hongkong proper.

It calls for the erection of a small township on the site of the mine. Buildings will include large canteens and quarters for European and Chinese employces, machine shops, office build- ings, assay laboratory, hospital, three executive staff residences and a mill building.

These buildings will be constructed of a locally made spuncrete tile, and are expected to be completed before the end of May. It is expected that the crushing mill will be put into operation by the middle of the year.

Due to the present price of lead and the tendency for the market to rise, mining engineers believe that the property in question is an attrac- tive proposition. Very good outcrops of the vein have been found at con- siderable distances from the old workings,

DYSENTERY BREAKS OUT IN MEMPHIS DISTRICT

New York, Feb. 7. Dysentery has broken out in the camp of the flood relief workers at Memphis, Tennessee.

The efforts of 120,000 of these workers have hitherto kept the Mississippi within its bank at this point, but the crest of the flood has not yet reached Memphis and the slow fall of the river at Cairo-only three inches in 60 hours-is worrying the engineers, especially in view of the forecasts of further heavy rain and a rise of 16 inches at St. Louis.

Women and children are still being kept away from Cairo, The Red Cross has requested Coast Guard boats to stand by, ready to evacuate the men who are manning the levees at a moment's notice.
