HC Deb 09 May 1901 vol 93 c1136
MR. BLACK (Banffshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state the names of the proprietors of the mines in the Transvaal which are now producing gold; and, whether his reports show that any further mines will be started this month, and the names of the proprietors of these mines.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I am sorry to say I have no information on the subject.

MR. BLACK

Will the right hon. Gentleman ask for it?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have no objection to writing for it.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

Cable for it.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

It is hardly worth telegraphing for.
