Co., held to-day, the directors report showed that the income during the year had been derived from calls alone, no work having been done during that time, owing to the difficulty experienced in paying off the heavy liabilities of the' company, but when the calls were paid up the company would be nearly out of debt, and in possession of plant, landed property, and machinery ready at any time to re - commence operations. The number of shares had • been reduced during the year by forfeiting 3,348, thus increasing the interest of those who .paid calls, William Compton was re-elected a director.—A small house occupied by Felix Monaghan, at Ilowiok, was burned down.
