3. The Federated Malay States Government has undertaken to 
grant a sum of £100 a year for 5 years to the Department with a 
view to the careful investigation and commercial development of 
the mineral resources of the States. 
The Government Geologist is collecting specimens for chemical 
examination and after analysis the Imperial Institute ** hich is in 
very complete touch with the principal manufacturim and other 
industries of the United Kingdom, will bring the specimens before 
manufacturers and others for trial with a view to their commercial 
development. 
It is expected that this action will do much to help in finding 
a market for new products and developing the markets for those 
already exploited.
