ANDREW SOUTHBERG, Manager.

N.B.—The Expenditure of the Company for the last six months has been very heavy, owing to the opening out of the Mine Cutting and Formation of Roads for conveying Timber; also, additional Machinery, which will be spared for the future; and last, but not least, the severe drought that unfortunately set in the last six months, which prevented Crushing operations; still, under all those unfavorable circumstances, the yield of the Mine for the last six months shows a nett profit of over 13 per cent. per annum on the Capital expended.
