Punjom shares, which declined under the influence of some bearing and of rather less favourable reports from' the mines, have had another little spurt this week. This was due to the excellent results of the September crushing, which, with concentrates, yielded 650 ozs. The result of the fide clean-up was that 720 tons treated fielded 323 ozs. of bullion at an average assay value of £1, 185 per oz. These re~ sults are the best yet achieved, and the quotation for the shares advanced from $10 to $12 on receipt of the news.
