MINES.

T-:EiDA.T EVENING.
A very large amount of business has beeu done tc-
day in English mining stocks. Upwards of 1,300
shares in the North Damsel Mine have been trans-
acted at prices varying from 305. and 325. Gcl. to
335. 130 Par Consols wero taken in one lot
at 161. per share. The prices realised to-day are as
follows:—Wheal Buller, 820; \Vest Caradon, 240;
West Providence, 541, 55; South Caradon, 140;
East Frongoch, 31; Fast Tamar, 335., 375. 61 ;
East Polgooth, 3 to 1 prem. ' • Trelawney, 59, 60 ;
Alfred Consols, 131, 3; United Mines, 103. prem. on

Trehane, 23 ; East Crowndr:le, 4 ; Balnoon, 12 ;
Tamar Consols, 5,1; Gorn, IGs.
The gold mining. shares were depressed all the
morning, but experienced a rally upJa the announce-
ment of the arrival of the Australian steamer, but
went heavier again in the afternoon, and closed flat.
The arrival of this vessel appeals to have been " dis-
counted," and the arrangements for the settling arc
beginning to excite attention.
Santiago and United Mexican are both heavy.

and Mineral, 103 to 11 prem. • Nugget Vein Com-
pany, 41 tol prem. ; Australian Mutual, 3 to 1 prem.;

1 A dividend of Is. per share was declared at
the Mariquita meeting held to-day, a full report of
which wiil be found in another column.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed the 17th instant as settling day in the West
Granada and Varaquas Mining Companies, and the
20th for the Nugget Vein Company. Both Com-
panies are to be marked in the efficinnist.
We understood that the directors of the New
Granada Company have received very favourable
adviecs from their agents, 1)r. F. Gonzales and Mr.
Whitefoot, stating that they had made a provisional
contract for the purchase, amongst other mines, of
..r the Frontino old Mine, near Autioquia. This
mine has for moo time been worked by a few gen-
tlemen of grew respectability, but possessing neither
mining skill ner adequate machinery. The produce,
however, of the mine has under these disadvantages
amounted to 20 its. of gold per month, and the
vents had satisfied themselves, by a careful inspec-
t= of the company's bootie, that their annual profits
had exceeded 27.000 dole. The terms agreed upon,
subject to confirmation in this country, are for
a sum less than four years' purchase, which the
agents considered most favourable, as the application
of improved machinery would probably greatly in-
crease the produce, and develop Who: lodes of great
apparent richness. The titles comprised about 2,000
English acres of freehold land, with all mineral
rights, subject to no royalties, and well timbered.
The produce cf the mice will henceforth be consigned
to the directors of the New Granada Company for
disposal on account of the owners until the comple-
tion of the purchase.
At Tamar Consols a parcel of 02 tons of sliver lead
ore has been sold to-day at 221. 7s. od. per ton,
which leaves a profit of about 600!. on the December
workings.
At Lewis Mine 18 toms of black tin will be sam-
pled to-day. The lode in the 70 cast from Praccl'n
shaft is 21 feet wide, worth 131. per fathom.
At Wheel Arthur the lode in the 50 west is 5 feet
wide, producing 1 ton of ore per fathom, worth 8/.
per ton. The lode in the 35 west is 4 feet wide,
producing 3 tons of ore per fiatie.in, worth SI. 10s.
per ton. The lode in Cock's Mope in back of 33
west is 4 feet wide, producing 3 tons of ore per fa-
them, worth 8!. 10s. per ton. The lode ih Cruses
stope, in bottom of the 35 west, it feet wide, pro-
ducing 11 ton of ore per fathom, worth per ton.
In driving upon the branch scat from the 50 cross-
cut south, north, and south, a lode has beendiscovered
producing good stones of rich silver lead ore ; but
can be stated respecting its size or bearing at
present.
An inspection of East Wheal Russell and IVhcal
Crebor having just been made by Captain Matthew
Francis, me subjoin his report :
I am quite 'geisha:l that the value of East liossell Mine
will be greater than the most sanguine have anticipated.
The course of ore in the tunnel cross-cur produces ssht3h to
33 per cent. for copper, and the lode is oroy f .r I feet ;tido;
the lode is not y 1 taken down, but from the produce of the
cross-cut will yield 4 tons of ore per fathom, earth 201. per
ton, or 801gper fathom. I attach much importance to this;
but the whole appearance of the mine warrants the conclu-
sion of au ism: sise formatian of copper be.ow. The engine
shaft is in one of the most I straordinary and richest-looking
gassers I ever 11Nof The cross-cut daiving north at the 20
to cut the north hide is in a rich killas, such as always at-
tends great courses of ore in every wail-m4seraSised country.
The 45 fathom levs.l east, from the engis.e shaft is in a lode
producing tine yellow copper ore and greens. In fact
the whole lode shows unmistakeable symptoms of a
course of ore such as I have always taken as evi- '
deuce of rich denonits of metal, and in which I have never
(seen deceived. L have just seen C apt. Charles Thomas's
report. According to his testimony I should imagine he
supposes the lode ni this mine to be sea iron lode, although
I perceive he leaves a door Nen to (scup(' try, when v.°
copper is laid open throughout the mine, as I expect it will
soon he. I am sorry to see Captain Th /1.113%.41 indecision.
I would rather he had at once declared that it was tither
an iron or a copper lode, or frankly tbat he could not
understood it. The goloan is in :.n immune bay, and
from its continuance to such a depth I argue that the body
of copper will he commensurate with it, awl that the mine
will be one of the richest and deepest in the district. A;
Wheal Crebor I hod the lode above the edit west of the
engine shaft is in a fine course ni Tellow ore, coat's! with
black, where the tributers are raistug large quautitits of

The great feature of the mine, however, is,

this will also be a good and extensive mine.
