The fact that Togo's crowning success at Tsushima took place in the cententary year of Nelson's great victory at Trafalgar has not escaped the public and the press, and the realisation of the influence of sea-power on history is now stronger than it ever has been in our history. The great battles which destroyed the fleets of Napoleon and the Tsar will go down to history as decisive and epoch-making encounters : the first saved the British, the second the Japanese from the menance of invasion, and both resulted in the total overthrow of the hostile fleets. But in celebrating the great sea flight on Saturday last the British people had no desire to wound the feelingso f their erstwhile foes and present cordial friends. The French navy is now in better condiiton than it ever was, its vessels are among the best, its officers gallant and highly trained, and it is pleasant to hope that this most efficient force will never again be ranged against our navy. The success of Japan is also a subject for rejoicing among Britons, who feel a certain, pride at the fact that Admiral Togo was trained on the Worcester, and that his best vessels were armed and built by our yards; but it need not prevent us from hoping tha our own rela- tions with great Power defeated in the Eastern Seas may become more and more friendly. Defeat, unless followed by dismem- berment, seldom leaves a lasting pain, and our people have long ago forgotten or forgiven Beachy Head and Yorktown, Fontenay, and Saratoga.
The second report of Sir William Willcocks on the situation of the Sucrecries Company from the agriculutral point of view is of pain- ful interest to the Egyptian public, which, till the first rumours of a crash, had obstinately refused to criticise or even to think of questioning the excellance of the company's manage- ment of its estates in Upper Egypt. In future, we hope, the would-be shareholder (we do not refer to the speculative buyer) will take a little more trouble to acquaint himself with the actual working of the undertakings in which he wishes to invest ; the information is generally procurable with very little trouble, though cases can easily be imagined in which it has to be taken with a grain or two of salt. A discharged servant, for example, is not always a fountain-head of truth.
Sir Williams Willcock's criticism are numer- ous and important. He points out that over- centralisation has been fatal to the proper management of the factories, the Cairo head- quarters fixing the rates for transport and taking into its hands other questions of detail which might have been far more rapidly and profitably settled by local managers. Managers have obviously failed at times to "hit it off" with local growers, so emphatically does Sir William state that necessity of dispensing with the services of managers who do not succeed in winning the confidence of the cultivators. The premiums and percentages allowed to managers should be expressed. Two suggestions which Sir William makes are of special im- portance : that an attempt should be made to adopt the system of payment for sugar-cane according to its quality- the system adopted in the early days of cotton culutre in Egyptand that a hardly variety of cane that can resist frost should be imported, and that the Government, aided by the Khedivial Agri- cultural Society, should aid its acclimiatisation.
As to the future of the Secreries, we are left in truly Egyptian darkness. Sir William Willcocks deals with the problem from the point of view of the agriculutral expert, but the future is for the financier to decide. Those few members of the public who still talk op- timistically of reconstruction by the efforts of Sir X.Y. or Mr. A. B. deserve the utmost credit for their optimism, but we should like to remind them that financier does not necessarily spell philanthropist.

INTERESTING SPEECH BY
The third ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Central Egypt

The Secretary (
"I should like, however, to say that, although j the statement of accounts shows only about £1,503 in hand, our fiancial position is much better than appears in the balance sheet, which is made up to the 30th June. We bad no diffi- culty at all in placing a further 3,500 shares, which leaves us 35,000 working capital shares in hand for disposal. The whole of the working capital shares are under call, and the develop- ments on the property are so good that I have very little hesitation in saying that the call will be exercised. Your directors, therefore, have with this knowledge authorised the Expenditure of a considerable sum of money in sinking a main shaft, which will have the result of proving tho Ataliah Mine at depth. The expenditure was entered into with the fall knowledge and consent of the group which is financing us, and hitherto all our demands for working capital have been promptly met "I think you will all agree with me that the record of the work we have done at Atallah is satisfactory in the very highest degree. We have bad the good fortune to strike an ore shoot 700 ft. long of a highly payable charac- ter, and there is no question in my mind that when our main shaft is finished we shall be in the possession of a very rich and completely proven property."
long phase. That is all that is the matter at Urn Rus, of which mine I have the highest opinion and the most sanguine hopes. "I will not take up yonr time now by dis- cussing the Eridia and Semca mines, which, with yonr mine of Atallab, form what we may call the Eeueh group. Thero aro others which may later on be brought into this circle of operations, but these three, which are now bring actively developed, form the centre of present interest A diagram of yonr Atallah mine hangs on the wall, and, lest we altogether forget at which of the craopinie*' meetings we are aow attending, I will describe this mine as a type of the o'hsrs, which it ranch re- sembles." (Here Mr. Alford dasoribel the Atallah Mine with the aid of the diagram, and then continued.) "Yon see that we have in this mine some very rich and extensive zones of rock. Now all the interest ceotres in getting that new main shaft down to the Join and connecting it with the part of the mine which wo have already developed, and which I have just described. Probably there will not be much of interest to report whilst that work is going on, though the winze on the vein from the 260ft level will tell ns the size and value of the vein as we go down on it. "It sometimes occurs to me that sharehold- ers are apt to be disappointed when, in these exploration works, a drive or a shaft passes ! frem rich into poorer rock, and to forget that: inch changes are inevitable in all such work. , We are not now ralr'ng out rich ore, bat look- ( ing for it, and to find zones of rich rock we mast get through zones of poor rock. The rich ore that we have already discovered is there behind ns, a valuab'e asset to be some day realised ; masseo of two-onneo rook have not vanished because assays from thi face of the ' level ahead show only two pennyweight*. It is there, good, sound v»lue, va:t>ng only to be taken out and milled. 'The surrounding oountry to thesexnines is rocky and m^&tainoa*; Atallah is 1,600ft j above sea-level. This is not quite what people who know only the Val'ey of the Nile imagine the Egyptian desert to be, bat those who have passed up.or down the Rel Sea ar.d, when near the little rocky island*,with a lighthouse. ! called 'The Brothsrs', boko 1 toward* the west in the evening, will have seen tall, ragged j mountain peaks.some fifty miles away, showing up below the setting san. Then they will have ! seen our Egyptian mining country.^Them are ' mountains there ei-ht thousand feet in height, of a deep red colored granite, wondrous bavu- tiful in the brilliant sunshine, a id the dry, clear desert air. Through these mountain ranges ran wide, dry water-ooarses, with smooth, sandy bottoms, {ihioh form excellent roads, worn in tho conrso of ages by the infrequent but excessively violent. storms of rain and, more so, in my opinion, by the con- stant, never-ceasing attrition of dying pirtioles of hard qnartz sand, which ha* polished some of the maantain sides that tiny shine in the san like mirrors. The sarf*ci of these wadies, except in rainstorm1, is invariably hard and dry, sometimes with a scanty vegetation, bat bslow the sarfaoe water is generally to be found on.sinking wells to a small depth, and these wells fdnmh ns with a constant sn pply of good water at oar mines. "The provision of water for milling pnr poses also will be a matter of no great diffi onlty, and the richness of the ora make* small quantities of it represent great values, thns the transport of it to oentral milling stations is not so onerons a matter as it | wonld be had we to deal with large ma*ses of low-grade mineral, as is the. case in many ' mining conntries. 1 will not take up yonr | time with farther descriptions of the mines | and their working conditions, which ara, to some extent, the same throughout Egypt' and the Sudan, but will now turn to con- sider the system which the Egyptian Govern-' meat has adopted iq dealing with this re- . surreotion of odb of the moit ancient mining indastries of the anoient world. The radix-1 oovery of these mines in 1899 led to un- morons applications for prospecting rights being made to the Egyptian Government, by all manner of persons, which were met by the granting of large prospecting areas on the distinct understanding that the conoesxbn- nairas should explore the grqnnd at their own oo*t, not seeking to gain a^immediate profit from the fact of having obtained a conoession, and when payable mines were1 fonnd should then take ont mining leases on specifio terms and form mining companies to work them. From the first the Govern- ment, led astray by some of its technical advisers who bad taken no trouble to in- vestigato the matter, looked npon the very cxistence of these ancient gold mines, still more their possible re-apening, with incre- dality. The financial magnates of Egypt, - following suit, would have nothing to do i with the matter It is now, I think, a case s of 'soar grape*.' So we have b-'ei left to a make oar way as best we could in the face i of a kind of bonevolent. apathy on the part a of the Government, and of almost open hosti- y lity from the leaders of Egyptian commerce, In some oases, unfortunately, these prospect if ing conoeaaions were giveo to persons who g bad 'neither the will nor the means to do d any bonA fide work on the groond. These at onoe started to sublet or sell their con- s oessions to others, and thns obtain a profit it for themselves without inoarring any risk d or expenditure, a proceeding which was promptly nipped in the bud by the Governa- ment, and to my mind most rightly so. This aaction on the part of the Government, and the ie eanse from which it sprang,' had certainly at r- the time the effect of eoollng down the little pnolio interest which was then being shown in Egyptian mining, but it was, under the cir- eomitanoes. unavoidable, and far better for ns Jn the long ran than to let this evil of irres- poniible company promoting grow.
brief for the Egyptian Government, which he in-several instances gone it own way to it own detriment, but I do maintain that, generally, its regulation* dealing with theee miniog matters are the best that, under the otronmstanoes, could be devised. Had more care bpen ex ^raised athirst in the selection of conoessionnabba, and more trast shown in ^ thosg who might & proved fitting aids to a Government confrontpd with a new sitnatioD, Egyptian mlping wonld have stood in a much more prominent and important position before the public than it stands to-day. "That prospeoting areas should not be snblet or out np, at least until the original holder has spent a considerable sum of money on explore- tion work, is, as I said before, a most ralntary condition. It te 'da to prevent that undoe infla- tion of o\fii a1, which paralyses so many mining ventures in other lands. Another regulation made by the Egyptian Government is that no mining company should be formed having a snbfcribed working capital of less than one- third of its nominal oapital. This it also a most excellent regulation ; the pity is that it does not refer to all companies, mining or otherwise. The mining lease issned by the Egyptian Government has lately been the snbjeot of some discussion ; taking it generally, it is a very good lease, although some of its provisions certainly require more explioit statement. Payment of royalty, as a sort of inoome-tax on distributed profits, is a very sonnd arrangement The anneal rental of £2 per aore charged on the area mining leases is high, but does not form a crippling impost on leases of 200 to 800 ' acres. So far, in the Egyptian form of lease, the area leaseable has not been limited or the 1 shape of the ioolnded land defined, and I do 1 not think they should be. The high rental is a check on exorbitant acquisition of land, and, - as the geologiosl conditions of the country do ' not point to any long lines of olosely contigu- ous mines, the shape of a lease is of no con- | sequence, and a regulation defining it might be very anno} ing under some circumstances. | "In the Sudan the mining lease is somewhat ' different ; the royalty is the same as in the Egyptian form, a tax of 10 per oent on distri- buted profits, but the rental of mining proper- ties is £1 instead of £2 per aore. There ' ! appears to me no reason why these mining 1 leases should not be identical.
"The whole of those parts of Egypt and of ' the Sudan where there is any probability of the discovery of mineral deposits of eoonomio ' value appears now to have been allotted in ( prospecting areas. From some 200 miles sooth of Kbartotm the remains of anoient mine workings have been discovered. It is not within the bounds of reasonable expectation that all of these discoveries should tom oot to be payable mines when re-opened, but I am sure many of them will do so; neither is it t) be expected that all the exploring expedi- ; tions sent out will find anything at all to work 1 upon. Many disappointments are inevitable in so speculative an undertaking as the ex- ploration of what is praotioally a new and so vast a mining conntry, bat the prizes to for- trnate shareholders in the disooveries will be very great. I look back upon the early days of the Indian mines, which these Egyptian ' mines so mnoh resemble, when the same apathy under which we are labouring now was cloud- , ing them, and hindering the day of.their pros* parity. Where were the Mysore, the Cham- pion Reef, and the Ooregum Mines in the early eighties t I was in Johannesburg in its earliest days, when nothing that I and others could say wonld induoe English people to take any interest in those most profitable mines. Then all at once the soene ohsnged, as if by magic, and in the winter of 1889 came one of the maddest speculative mining , booms that the world has ever seen ; shares which could find no sale at a modest sovereign were esgerly bought at fifty, and some few made fortune*, whilst others lost their little all. I desire to see no such mad boom in . Bryptian mines, which in the' end doss far ' more harm than good, but I do desire some . recognition and support for what I believe will shortly be an important and profitable mining industry.
"My mining life has been along one. I have made failures, and I have made snooeases, and l mean to crown it with the snooeaa of Egyptian mining.
