Royal Bank a few weeks ago, laving for its object an amalgama- fion. and as the terms appeared to DC fa\'orahle to the shareholders and °ustomers of this hank. the directors decided to consider the matter. and discuss the terms and conditions up- on which the proposal was based. A thorough investigation of the whole situation was madmhy eaeh board. 'l‘erms were discussed and subse- queutly agreed upon as the basis of lan agreement to he submitted tothe {shareholders of each institution. By the proposed agreement, a copy of which will at once he sent to all the shareholders, and a meeting call- ed for submission and approval, the Royal Bank will take over all assets 'and assume all the liabilities of the 'l‘raders' Bank and will give to each thareholder of the latter hank three shares of Royal for four of Traders' Bank stock. This is on a value of $190 per share of Traders and $240 per share of Royal. The net result, having regard to the respective divi- (lends, will he in future ll per cent. instead of eight to the shareholders of the 'l‘raders' Bank.

The trouble was that it was too expenâ€" sive to mine it. There is perhaps no metal so widely diflused as gold. It is not only found in all the earth. but in the waters under the earth, although 'it is likely to be long“' enough before Wall-street finances any scheme to extract u‘old from sea- water. 'l‘he cyanide process (if extracting gold, and the hydrauliv method of washing away I'lVl'l' sand, where the metal occurs in that formation, haw together produced the most remark- ahle economic stimulant and prob» lem of modern times. It was known twenty-live years ago that there were deep°level reefs in the Transvaal con- taining gold, if it could only be ex- tracted. It required the cyanide pro- cess to show how the trick could he done. There comes. however, a point where economies of production cease to be effective. That handicap would be apparent to the adventurer who tried to extract gold from sea wa- ter, early in his operations. The wa- ter depleted would go back to the water he would treat in the future. thereby constantly diminimhingr the small percentage of gold. The output of gold from the Transvaal last year was larger than owr but it is highly significant that the dixidvnds paid rom the mines-I in tho dis‘triot known as tho “Witwatr I-I'srand.“ (Il', shurtly. the “Rand," declined from £8,887,155 to £7,703,- 085. It should be remembered also there was a decline in 1910, and it is almost amusing to find that the British financial papers are asking if there is anything wrong with the Hand mines.
