Tan SOUTH AURORA SILVER MINING COMPANY,
LINITID.—The Shares of this Company, it is isle, 000
since be be in active demand, at improving prices; and
she regatta of the working of the mine amply justify
the oonfidence indicated by this state of things on the
pert of the public- The balance of profit up no the end
at December last was £21,075, and on the 18th !retirees,
the directors declared • dividend at the rate of 90 per
taut on the allotted stock, with interest at the rate of
5 per cent. per annum on amounts fully paid up in
advance of the second call. A farther dividend at the
wine rate of 20 per cent. per annum hu been declared
payable on the let June next. Thus, since the mine
came into the possession of the company, two quarterly
dividends have been paid, each of a most remunerative
character; and the mine, as it is being further worked,
will prove yet more prolific of profit. In the words of
. the report of the directors, just baited, the mine is in
fall operation, and yielding • large and constant supply
of ore. The South Aurora is thus one of the great
prises of silver mining.
