amounts brought in by escort alone being apparently
about 40,000 ounces per week. A now bank was pro-

Geelong Ban7;ing Company, and it was to allow interest
on deposits ranging, according to their character, from
1 per cent. to 3 per cent. Schemes for a ship canal

two engineJrs, Messrs. Christy and Bremner, having

to 1,470,0001. and 1,300,0001.
