MINEB.-(17118 DAYj

Two o'CLoow.

In the mining market to-day the principal
feature is a strong demand for West Chiverton
shares, which have risen 41. Wheal Chiver-
ton and East Chiverton are also better.
On the other hand, East Caradon have
declined 11. 51. Some of the present quotations
are as follows :—Rest Caradon, 26¢ to 27 ;
West Chiverton, 64 to 66 ; Wheal Chiverton, 12!
to ; last Chiverton, 8f to f ; Caradon Vale, 3
to ; Wheal Crotty, 21 to ; and Clifford Amalga-
mated, 38} to 39.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are quiet
at previous prices. Port Phillip are dull.
The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining
Company (Limited) have received, by telegram
from Lisbon, the following report, dated Morro
Velbo, Sept. :—Prodnoe for August, 39,296
oitavae ; cost for ditto, 9,8901. ; profit for ditto,
5,265/. Produce, 11 days September, 12,629
oitsvas ; yield, 6.644 oitavas per ton. Working
steadily.
The prospectus of the Clowance Wood Coppm.
Mining Company (Limited) is in circulation. This
mine is situated in the parish of Crowan, in Corn-
wall, in a fine metalliferous district, and in the im-
mediate vicinity of many well-known dividend-pay-
ing mines. About 5,0001 has been expended in deve-
loping the mine, with promising indications, and
the cost for the next twelve months is estimated at
about a like sum, after which period good returns
are hoped for. Five lodes have been intersected.
The lease is to be transferred to the company for
1,5001. in cash, and 3,5001. in shares. The capital
is fixed at 25,0001., in 11. shares.
Another new undertaking is the Cwt y Bugail
Slate Quarry Company (Limited). This quarry is
situated in the centre of the slate district cot Pesti-
niog, in the neighbourhood of quarries which have
long been worked to great profit. High and prac-
tical authorities, including Mr. James Wyatt
F.G.S., Mr. Charles Spooner, and Mr. William
Williams, have given very favourable opinions with
regard to the probable productiveness of the pro-
mty. The capital is 50,0001., but the first issue is to
be limited to 30,0001., in 600 shares of 50/. each, and
it is mentioned that a considerable portion of the
required capital is already promised.

A very unusual am of intimidation has been
lately used is the strike of colliers at Wigan. The men
employed at the Kirkkes Hall Ooal Company's pit have
bees " out," and on Friday a placard appeared warning two
dthe toasters that "the pistol is loaded," and advising them
to make their will. It is raid that the bulk of the miners
will condemn this savage and unjustifiable act
