THE MINING INDUSTRY.

A Big Bonus to be Asked For.

ITe understand that at its next meeting tt Council of the Chamber of Commerce ppose considering a proposal that has fei brought bgfore them, embodying an eteWi'O scheme for the development of fis goldiielda of the Cape Colville Penin sulas Jts main feature is a recommenda tion; to the Government that £100,000 be offered throughout the world as j bonus for the establishment of a plant ktcapable of dealing with refractory ores that exist in such boundless quantities in otr reefs. The merest; outline of the kask has reached our ears, but it is suggested that the plant should be Hμ,property of the colony, that no ffioaey anould he paid on account of bonus until it is demonstrated that tho plant will producer high percentage of bullion on the smy value of the ones at a minimum cost & treatment. The ideal, appears to be to -model the undertaking on the lines «7W great German Works at Fribery »Mch are maintained by the Imperial Go wrnment We''trust that the Council of the Ganiber, in considering the matter, will »ider this most important point. By {"Besting to the Government that the »« money may largely bo taken from w duty on gold saved by the process—the ditty might be raised 6d or Is per ounce— any objection to the amount of the bonus wold be overcome. Let such a bonus be *red and thoroughly advertised in Gei- ""ay, England and America, and we have nohesitation in predicting that the desired tenltfill be secured.
