IN THE DARK, AND WHY?
Thbb« is always a something in connection with the South Pacific Petroleum Company which to the ordinary mind is difficult of comprehension. The Company, we may be told, is a private speculation, and therefore, beyond those having a monetary interest in it, it is nobody's business to enquire how things are conducted. However that idea may fit in with some people's views, we are not inclined to endorse it, because there ar e many other interests equally entitled to con. sideratlon. A couple of months ago events occurred which gave much cause for reflection, and now we are told that the Directors have held a meeting, but will not allow the proceedings to transpire. Why this seoresy ? Is there something behind the scenes which it is thought should not be allowed to leak out ? There may be no grounds for such suppositions, but this secret conclave conveys a lurking apprehension that things are not as they should be.

The local shareholders are now In the dafht and why ?
