Cane Mills; and Megass as Fuel. 6i 
This surplus of carbon r66, with diminution of 3*10 of 
water in the Leonora megass, as against Rose Hall 
makes the difference between success and failure, and I 
am now persuaded that to burn megass from the mill 
successfully calls for at least 70 per cent, extraction from 
the cane. 
The following calculation will explain the position of 
Providence with 77 per cent : crushing of its canes : 
For juice extracted. For fibre. For sugar. For total juice.
