In the afternoon there was a great inquiry for
Santiago shares, which lett off punt(' 7!, to 8 • or
1/. higher than yesterday. Transactions arc repotted
at 8 after business hours.

The Californian papers just to hand show that
the excitement relative to the gold discoveries at
Queen Charlotte's Island (of which the first accounts
were published by us some weeks ago), was increas-
ing; and so much interest had been awakened on
the subject that an expedition to the new gold region
was actually in course of organisati:n at San Fran-
cisco, and a vessel had already been "laid on for
passengers to Queen Charlotte's Island mines."
Other vessels were expected to follow, although it
was thought probable that the marked hostility of
the Indians would have the effect of keeping timid
people away.
The following dividends have been declared dur-
ing the month of April :

Late advice, from the copper mining region of
Lake Superior mention that the prospects of all the
leading companies engaged in mineral adventure in
that district have so greatly improved that the yield
of the metal this year cannot fail to be greatly in
excess of the produce of former periods. 'llie Cliff,
Pittsburgh, and Boston Mines are described as parti-
cularly promising, and the shipments this season are
expected to amount to 1,200 tons. '1 brie are now in
sight several masses weighing from 2,5 to 00 tons
each, and estimated to ) kid from 75 to 80 per cent.
of pure copper. The Copper Falls Mine is also im-
proving, and, should present appearances not prove
deceptive, this adventure will realise a handsome
profit. The ancient works upon this location are
very extensive, and afford evidence that a large quan-
tity of copper must have been extracted. At the
Minemota Mine it is stated that several large masses
of almost pure copper have been laid bare, weighing
probably 250 or 300 tons. From the other " loca-
tions" the prospects of a large and increasing yield
ire also confirmed.
