MINES

THCILSDAT EIIIIIIITNO.
A moderately active business has been dune to-day
in the mining share market, which continuos to pre-
sent a favourable appearance. rhe prices at which
actual galas have been concluded are thus reported
by the most respectable dealers and brokers, but due
allowance mast be made for the " margin," which
in this market is frequently ',try wide :--Cundurrow,
100; West Providence, 61 ; Hilbricken, 41, 6;
Great Wh.al Alfred, 36, 36, 371; South Tolgua,
1971; East Buller, 7; Mendip Rills, 3; Gagman,
New, 6t prem.; South Tamar, 61 ; Linares, 4.
Great activity again prevailed- in the foreign mine
department of the Stock Exchange. Purchasers of
nearly all the gold mining shares are eagerly offer-
ing, and prices were again decidedly higher, ear-
ciolly for Nouveau Monde, Port Phillip, Ague Fria,
and Australasian. Shares in the last named under-
taking, with 21. paid, have been done at 71. or 61.
St. John del Rey reached 31, but left off the came
as yesterday, at 30 to }.
At Great Bryn Consols, a call of 2s. 6d. per share
has been made.

At Alfred Consols, Field's engine shaft is sank
6 fathoms L feet under the 100, and the lode at this

oinking. The lode VI the 100 west of No. 1 ;Tore is
from one to two feet wide, and worth about 61. per
fathom. The lode in the 'topes over the 100 west
of this winze is worth from 801. to 100!. per fathom.
The lode in the "topes east of this winze is worth
50/. per fathom. The lode in the stopes over the 90
cast of engine shaft is worth 30/. per fathom.
At Wheal Trelawney, in the 107 north end, the
lode is 4 feet wide, and worth 71. per fathom. 92
north end the lode is 3 feet wide, and worth 121. per
fathom ; south cud it is 2; feet wide, and worth 101.
per fathom.
At the north mine on the 78 north end the lode
is 2 feet wide, and worth 9/. per fathom. In the 68
north end, the east part of the lode is 6 inches wide,
and worth .51. per fathom ; the west part is 3 feet
wide, and worth 71. per fathom. The stopes and
pitches are much ns usual.
At Bat Holes Mine the lode in the 48 north is
very large, and the men are engaged in cutting in to
find the foot wall; the lode is all saving work for
lead ore. The lode in the 30 north is about 1 foot
6 inches wide, ea rying a leader on the hanging wall
about two inches wide, rich work for lead ore. The
wept.' in the bottom of the 40 south of tho wince is
producing excellent work fur lead ore, which will
yield a good profit.
At \Vest Wheal Russell an improvement has
taken place in the adit level driving west from
Bayly's shaft, the lode at present is 3 feet wide
and will yield from 4 to .5 tons of ore per fathom in
the bottom part of the end, the upper part not being
so rich. The ore apparently is rising as the level is
extended west. There is no alteration of importance
in any other part of the mine.
At ltound Hill mine the men have commenced
driving east on the eut and west lode, which is about
3 feet wide, composed of spar of a very congenial
character mixed with carbonate of lime, with a
branch of lead ore about one inch wide (which
will yield about 80 per cent. of lead), a very pro-
mising end.
The Kilbricken mine has sold two parcels of rich
silver lead ore, viz. :—No. 1, computed 21 tons at
32/. per ton, and No. 2, computed 4 tons at 284 per
tun. The agent's report states that the mine conti-
nues as last reported, and preparations were being
made to sink on the lode in the old bottom where
the rich lode was discovered last week.

At Hingaton Downs the lode in Doidge's winze
sinking below the 35 is worth about 7 tons of good
quality ore per fathom. The 'topes continue much
as usual. The south lode driving west from Hitching'
shaft at the 53 is not so valuable for ore as last re-
ported, but no doubt is entertained of a change for
the better again as the drivage progresses.
At Great Wheal Baddern the lode in the 51 east
is 6 inches wide, composed of mundic. The lode in
the 40 cast is 9 inches wide, producing good work
for lead. The lode in the 30 east is 1 foot wide ;
very good work for lead. The lode in the 20 wed
from Sunderland is 4 feet wide, producing good work
for tin and lead. the lode in the 30 west is 6 inches
wide, composed of mundic, with spots of lead. The
stopeo and tribute pitches are generally looking well.
At Wheal Crebor the lode i■ the 34 end is fast
improving; it is upwards of 2 feet wide, with good
stones of ore, and in the whole of the lode there are
large quantities of green sulphate of copper, with a
huge stream of water issuing from the north. At
the 24 there are two promising lodes. Next month
all the ends will be driving west, and, from present
appearances, some important discoveries are expected
in that direction.

At Wheal Golden Console the lode in the 97 north
(Thorne's shaft) is 1 foot wide, producing 8 owt. of
ore per fathom. The lode in the 87 north (Young'ssbdt)
is 13 inches wide, producing 7 cwt. of ore per fathom.
In the 77 the lode is 20 inches wide, producing 6 owt.
of oro per fathom. In sinking this shaft under the
87 the ground is good ; the lode is 18 inches wide,
producing 5 cwt. of ore per fathom. The tribute
department is looking well.
