Knight Templary.

KNIGHT TEMPLARY .

THE Restormel Preceptory of Knights Templar and St . Andrew ' s Priory of Knights o £ Malta held its installation meeting at the Masonic Hall , Liskeard , on Tuesday , 21 st ult ., when Frater Thomas White was impressively placed in the chair of Eminent Preceptor by Major Shanks , assisted by several other members . This Preceptory , the only one in Cornwall , has

gained new life since its removal to Liskeard , and it is hoped that it will grow still more rapidly under the new regulations , which allow it to hold occasional meetings anywhere in the county , for the installation of any well-qualified members of any Royal Arch Chapter . The business of the day successfully closed with the appointment of the new Officers , there being members in Penzance , Truro , St . Austell , & c .

Mines Contract Company.

MINES CONTRACT COMPANY .

THIS Company was established in 1888 , and has paid di \ idends which for one year amounted to no less than 95 per cent . Owing to the renewal of activity in the mining market , a resumption of distributions is probable . What the premium on the shares will then be investors can judge for themselves . The issued capital is only £ 58 , 000 , an extremely moderate figure when the assets are taken into account , and which the last balance-sheet

issued show to be o £ an amount nearly four times the capital . Out of this the directors wisely placed about £ 100 , 000 to a " contingent reserve fund . " The Mines Contract Company owns 700 acres of coal lands in South Wales , two-thirds interest in an Australian gold property , a considerable interest in mining claims in Rhodesia , half interest in a large number of properties in Canada , a large interest in the Lomatie ( Lydenburg ) Exploration Company , half interest in a Mexican silver property , and a considerable interest in a

mica manufacturing company , besides shares in various other syndicates . Some of these concerns are doing extremely well , whilst , in addition , the company holds mortgage charges to the extent of £ 32 , 000—a very important asset . Why Mines Contract £ 1 fully-paid shares should be quoted in the neighbourhood of 12 s 6 d is an anomaly which will probably right itself in a very short time ; in any case , a good chance is now given to cautious mining investors . — " Money Market Review .
