Thomas Mein, general manager of the Robinson Gold Mining company, Johannesburg, South Africa, furnishes a voluminous and detailed report of the workings and condition of that mine, the expenses, etc., for the year ending December 31, 1895. Fifty new stamps were added during the year, which cost $205,000. During the year there were mined and milled 140,655 tons of ore, yielding a value from mill of 431,666, from concentrates by chlorination and from tailings by cyanide process (75,825 tons) 72,553, a total yield of 157,208 ounces, worth 565,942. Compared with the figures for 94, there was a falling off of 4 dwt. 14 grains per ton in yield, and 16s lid in value. Milling expenses were 3s 10d per ton; mining and milling, 19s 1 per ton in 95; 1 Is 8 in 94. During the year 247 Europeans were employed and 1332 Kaffirs, the average weekly wage being 14s 6d, exclusive of food. MINING REVIEW.
