REPORTS OF MINING COMPANIES.

WALLED. GOLD WINE.
The directors of the Waller Gold Mining Com-
pany have just published and circulated amongst
the shareholders the plan and sections of their mines,
drawn up by Mr. Gregg, the resident engineer. We I
make the annexed extracts from the accompanying
remarks of the directors :
The directors avail themselves of this opportunity to in.
form the sharrholden that since the publication of Mr.
bugg's former report, his letters to them are of the most
enmeraging nature. Rehab now thoroughly examined every
part of the property, and discovered nine veins, in addition
ti thaw mentioned in the prospectus issued by the company,
end known to their vendors. In order that the shareholders
may folly oppreciate the advantage of these discoveries, it
may ha Mated that whilst many companies were formed in
Lentos for working • few hundred feet on single veins, not
Noel in thickness to the seeress of the 16 on the Willer
I...ate, the aggregate length of the veins on their property
is not leas than 11 miles, and that they are contained in an
eases of about 440 acres only, so that works and machinery
legated, are available fur wuria.ng this great leogth of
p Id-bearing veins. The whole of the veins recently
&covered have been fully proved, and hare given on
slay by Mr. Gregg exceedingly satisfactory results
• qiianuty of ere, comprising average samples from the ve-
nous veins, is now on its way to England. • • •
The directors, although placing the fullest reliance in these
statements, hesitated to wad out mochinery which would
not be available fer the general purposes of the mine, until
folly convinced that the extent of the deposit would justify
the oslay, but they have now the pleasure to state that
their resident engineer, after • careful examination, has
rood the existence of an extensive deposit of Cascalho and
ferrugisous sand, lying in the hollow bed near the centre
of the estate, which will be awn by reference to the
',thetas takes over the Waller and Ooochland Veins. Fully
sassible of the great impirtance of taking advantage of this
discovery, the directors have had machinery constructed on
the model of that employed by the Russian government in
wa,bing the gold sands of Siberia, and this apparatus,
eart's of washing 40 tons per day, will bo immediately
set to work, and the geld extracted made available for au
early dividend. The sand will be collected like gravel
from a pit, and thrown into the machines, which are self.
acting, and so Maple and inexpensive is the entire process,
that the cost of working will cent exceed 2. per ton. The
erection of the different buildings, and the machinery, is
steadily proceeding ; and having means of making conside-
rable returns fur a long time to come from the deposit
above mentioned, the directors recommend the concurrent
proszention of the works upon the veins in a miner-like
system, :nil on such a scale of magnitude as their great cx
teat cad richness demand. In conclusion, the directors
fed themselves fully justified in anticipating that, before
many months elapse, the whole of the veins will be brought
lam a state of profit, aid that, by the end of the present
year, the company whose affairs they have now the honour
to watch over, will' have, in compli ta operation, one of the
heist and most productive mining establishments is the
world.

LAS INFANTAS SILVER LEAD MINE.
The directors of the Las Infants, Silver Lead
Mining Company have received the following report
from Capt. William Michell, jun. :
The tames of this company are situated about four miles
from the town of Litmus, and two miles from the village of
Guam:ion. The property consists of 14 pertitsencise, or
conceseions, of SOO yards los, by 200 yards wide, giving in
the aggregate 1,800 fathoms ow ths raa of the 'overall lodes,

Contiguous to sad north of these mime are denonasements
belonging to other companies, in which there are two er
three other tine lodes, making together six or seven paraliel

Wiwas mine, there being sewn lodes in that min% ialser-
sictcd by driving a crow-eat shoat sixty fathom. Only

could deepen the mine to s peat extent, thereby saving a
vest expense, even should It be presticable, which I much
doubt, to get the engine on the top of the mountain. As
the edit levels and cross cat would give a fair trial to all
these lodes on the western pertiaencias, I would further
suzgist your slaking en engine shaft at or near the entrance
of the edit level for the Quads' canal engine, by which
mesas you could work acme the valley east, which ie in •
more decomposed granite, and where I have no doubt you
would hive larger deposits of lead. Looking at the produc-
t:mins of the mines in this locality, and the general elm
titter of the stratum, I consider the Las Infantaa well
elected piece of ground; and I have no doubt, if prose-
cuted vigorously, and with proper judgment, it will soon
prove remunerative to the shareholders, without any great
outlay of capital. The engine purchased from the Guadal-
canal mine in in good repair and condition; bat I
would suggest, ere it is re-erected, that the side
rods are removed, the emirs beam, which is now
inverted, being pat on the boom wall, and the
parallel motion replaced. The expense of this altera-
tion would be trifling; and it would be • considerable ad-
vantage in the saving of feel, breakage, and wear and teas
Should the engine become fairly loaded, some little &S-
-cults may still he experienced in removing it ; bat milting
kw than this ma be expected in this country, awa this elm
be overcome by having sufficient strength, e. I present
vat% this • rough plan of the district, showing the relative
p•tuition of Las lodates Mine, with those already in active

'ouch cannot but confirm and strengthen my opinion of
