TANGANYIKA DEVELOPMENTS.

A distinctly hopeful tone characterized the remarks of Sir Robert Williams, the Managing Director of Tanganyika Concessions, Limited, at the recent meeting of that company. He was able to report that the scheme for new plant additions, which had the object of increasing the production of copper to 200,000 tons annually, was well advanced. He also stated that with the opening of the Western Mines a new era of development would begin, electric power and leaching becom- ing available when the Benguela route was completed. In the course of his speech, Sir Robert stated that discoveries in Katanga had proved the existence there of over 5,000,000 tons of copper, worth well over £300,000,000. * * * *
