Clark, of the geological and field engineering staff, shows graphically the execution of a tiger in a deserted military camp 14 kilometers from Taloek, in the Netherlands East Indies. The execution of the tiger in the trap minht at first thought seem hardly sporting, Mr. Clark wrote, but this particular cat was becomin,q bolder and bolder around the residences. Steuling pet monkeys was his forte, and those in charge were somewhat of the idea that he might have tried a man for a change of diet. The animal was a beautiful specimen, a.s the snapshots show-and might well have been a dangerous one! The life of a mining engineer has its hazards, wouldn't you say? Wide Mining ...

The large expenditures involved consequently could not be met from production as had been anticipated. The directors having under consideration the proposed payment of an interim dividend at this time have concluded that sound business prudence should deter an outlay of cash for dividends when expenses for these capital investments have not been liquidated.~ Accordingly, the matter was deferred.
