market hes been an increasing demand for Chas

been done, and the stock has risen rapidly from 40s.

The English and Australian Copper Smelting
Company's shares remain flat at to di..,
thoughlately commanding a good premium. This
fall is owing to the accounts published in the
Daily News a day or two ago, relative to the great
effect produced upon the labour market at Adelaide,
by the discoveries of gold in the sister colonies;
serious detriment is expected to be caused to copper
mining interests in this locality, as is proved by a
fall of nearly 30 per cent. in the value of Burrs
Barra copper mining shares, lately so eagerly
sought after. The probability of this result was
pointed out by us some time ago; and the next ad-
vices are looked for with much anxiety. The in-
terests involved are much more extensive than might
at first be supposed, for a niminished supply from
the great copper mines of Australia would certainly
tend to enhance the price of that metal in the va-
rious markets of the world, and would equally sti-
mulate enterprise in copper mining in our mining
districts, in Cube, Chili, and elsewhere.
With reference to Californian quartz mining, it
may be interesting to state that the San Francisco
market advices just received make especial reference'
to the shipment of a quantity of auriferous quartz
from that port to London (already received here),
and mention the general expectation entertained
that very interesting experiments will be made, and
facts elic;tecl of high importance to quartz mining.
The advices state : " This shipment, it has been as-
serted, was made for the mere purpose of influencing
the London market; but, from the character of the
house sending, and the high scientific standing of the
gentlemen who accompanied it, we are led to believe
the experiment was made as much to advance the
science of quartz mining as in anticipation of an im-
mediate pecuniary return." It is stated that the Ca-
lifornian capitalists express a desire to await the,
result of present operations in the quartz die-',
triets before investing further. Large quantities 011
machinery are on their way out from the United
States, and no doubt was entertained that the pre-
sent year will afford much information upon a sub-1
joct as yet very little understood, being the proper
method of working the immense quartz mines,which
seem destined to form the most important interest
of the oountry.
The St. John del Bey Company have received ad-
vices per Tay, dated Ist March. The produce for
January was 26,049 oitavas, equal to 2501b5. troy, at
a eon of 6,5061. 3s. I Id. , having • profit on the
saseth's wetting es,geu Ss. Id. The produce for
21 days to February war 19,228 oitavas. The supply
of stone from the mine was without alteration, but
latterly of rather an inferior quality.
The Imperial Ugazilian Association have received
the following ecild report:—The produce from
Banana! and Gongo, from Feb. Ist to 27th, was
10Ibs. troy.
The National Brazilian advises are dated Feb. 27.
The report from Comes Mine states that, at the Terra
Capida, several old workings had been met with,
filled with broken earth. This had been got through,
and the lode discovered, consisting chiefly of Jaco-
tinge, with thin beds of hard stone. As usual it
gives samples, but no gold is visible. Until large
quantities of the earth filling these old workings have
been removed, their wells cannot be well searched,
but the clearing of them is being pushed. It is ex-
pected to And stone having visible gold in it, WI wee
the case when the great fall of earth occurred for-
merly. The produce from COMM and Cuiba for the
month ending Feb. 27 was mks. 4 3 5 23.
