Occasionally peculiar questions are put to chairmen at meetings of shareholders in gold-mining companies. An instance occurred at a meeting of . the Lucky Shot Company at Auckland. A shareholder wanted to n.ow why Drices were not higher on 'Change, when a mine was getting picked stone? Mr Raymond Sheath, who was chairman, replied with a laugh: "The public is not really to be blamed for showing such little confidence. For the last 25 years" they have been without a patch of gold from the Thames field, and are waiting .until it comes before jumping in for shares on the market. If we cannot get gold out of the ground, the market is no good to us."
