THE TIN FIELDS.

A correspondent, writing from Bunbury, under date the 18th inst., states:
— "Last week fourteen tons of tin were brought into Bunbury.  There are at
present about sixteen tons lying on the field fit for market.  The
prospects of the field are steadily improving."

THE EXCHANGE G.M. COMPANY.

Mr Edwin S. Mansfield, legal manager of the above Company, has handed us
the following report, dated Southern Cross, August 11: For the week ending
August 9, 1890, I have sunk the shaft at mine a further distance of five
feet, making a total depth of 102 feet, reef about 3 feet wide; make about
200 gallons of water every twenty-four hours.  At machine I have been
covering the boiler in with stone work, which will keep the cold air from
the naked iron, and consequently steam better and be a great saving of
firewood; also I have shifted exhaust pipes so as to condense as much
steam as I can with the small amount of pipes I have on hand.  I have also
had to repair all rollers in well, which will work much better I am sure
when we start again.  I have also excavated about 20 chains of drains to
the dam, to conserve as much water as possible.

TIN DISCOVERY NEAR LAKE MUIR.

Mr Andrew Muir has written to Mr Councillor Muir, states the Advertiser
(Albany) of the 15th inst., informing him that a party of prospectors have
made an important discovery of tin on the Topanup River near Lake Muir.
The tin is described as good as that got at Greenbushes.  Lake Muir can be
reached, we understand, by road from Albany, Mount Barker, or Cranbrook.
It is a fresh-water lake, estimated to be three times as large as Princess
Royal Harbor [sic].

THE YUIN GOLD REEFS.

A SUCCESSFUL CRUSHING IN SYDNEY.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

GERALDTON, Aug. 19.
The following telegram has just been received from Mr Benjamin James of
Sydney: "Half ton of stone from Yuin, resulted in 19 dwts. 14 grains gold.
 Fennel left yesterday."

there was a very large attendance of shareholders.  The meeting was called
to consider the position of the Company, and to empower the Directors to
make arrangements for satisfactorily carrying on the Company, and to raise
money by way of security on the property; also to discuss a scheme which
was to be brought forward by the Directors, for the reorganisation of the
Company.

The CHAIRMAN explained, at some length, the position of the Company, and
read a report which had been furnished by Captain Oats to the Directors,
with regard to the prospects of the mine.  Captain Oats stated that the
Company had what he considered a good property, and expressed a hope that
the shareholders would not scruple to spend the necessary amount to prove
it.  The Chairman pointed out the various ways which were open for
developing and working the property, and suggested, as the most suitable,
that the Company should be voluntarily wound up and a new one formed, the
47,921 promoters' shares having their face-value increased from 20s. to
25s. each, the increase being payable by calls.  A call of 1d per share
together with the money now in hand, would be sufficient, it was stated to
enable machinery to be erected on the mine.

A prolonged, and at times, personal, discussion ensued, in the course of
which it was pointed out that the notice calling the meeting was not
sufficiently worded to enable such a resolution to be carried, and also
that the motion must be carried by a two-thirds majority both in value and
number.  Ultimately it was decided, on the motion of the Chairman, that
the Directors be empowered to call and extraordinary meeting of
shareholders to pass a resolution to voluntarily wind up the Company, with
a view to forming a new Company to take over the property and assets of
the old Company.  Several other matters for discussion at that meeting
were arranged, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
Directors.  A fuller report is held over.

THE EXCHANGE G.M. COMPANY.

Mr Edwin S. Mansfield, legal manager of the above Company, informs us that
the Huntingdon Mill has completed a crushing of 70 tons of quartz, on
account of Mr Walter Blackborne, and that the cleaning up was to have
taken place on the day the mail left the Cross.  Stone from the Company's
claim is now being put through the machine.

ADELAIDE MINING QUOTATIONS.
[Note: - Clipping finishes at this point]

to the chair, the following report was read: —

"Your Directors, in submitting the second half-yearly report to the
shareholders, are glad to be a position to assure them that they have
every confidence in the ultimate success of the Company.  It is some three
months since the Huntington Mill was started, and two crushings of quartz
from the Company's claim have been made, the result of the first being 12
dwts. to the ton, and of the second a little under an ounce.  The Mill has
also crushed 100 tons of stone for the South Fraser's Company, and a small
parcel for a syndicate.  Several hundred tons are now waiting treatment.
Operations at the works were progressing so favourably that in July your
Directors deemed it unnecessary to levy any further calls as there was
every prospect of the property proving far more than self supporting in
the immediate future.  It, however, became necessary to send to the
eastern colonies for certain portions of the crushing plant which required
renewing, and owing to the strike in the shipping trade it has been
possible to get them forwarded, consequently work at the mill has had to
be suspended pending their arrival, which is expected within a week or
two.  Operations can be resumed immediately we are in possession of the
required portions of machinery.  In the meantime it has become necessary
to make another call to meet current expenses in connection with the
development of the mine itself.  Your mining manager reports favourably of
the prospects of the mine.  This, coupled with the fact that we can obtain
large quantities of stone for crushing from other companies, warrants your
Directors in anticipating good results for the shareholders.  Your
Directors, Messrs. J.W. Hackett, W.S. Pearce, Chas Harper, H. J. Saunders,
W.E. Marmion, and William Cameron, retire, but are eligible for re-
election, as also are the retiring auditors, Messrs. W.H. Gale and Ishmael
Rogers."  The balance sheet was read to the meeting by the manager, Mr
Mansfield, and this, with the report, was adopted.
