MINES.

(From the Miming lownal.)
More than an avenge ammat of business has been
traumata this week : the matket continues tirm, with a
tendency to advance, MAIM seeking fur higher prints, which
buyers are unwilling to conform to ; coraequeutly there are
several negotiations on the tsp:r, which are likely to come
off next week.
Our advices tram several local correspondents confirm
former statements as to the prosperous position of the mines

generally.
South Basset, Condurrow, Trehane, Trelawny, and West '
Wheal Jewel have continued in request.
Mary Ann, South Tamar, end Bedford United shares
have been sought for, and several transactions effected at
advanced prices.
In Tincroit several tranautions have token place. Chap.
pell's lode, reported last week to have improved, is further
ocreased in value, and Becomes of vast importance, bias.
much as it is entirely an new ground.
At Wheal Basset account tor September and October a
profit of 1,4711.95. sd. was made ; o dividend of 1,9201.,
being 151. per share, was declared, and a balsam 01
2701. 101. 44. carried to next account. The mine is stated
to be in a very productive acid prosperous position.
The following mines, under the management of Messrs.
Tay', r and Son. have declared dirdende within the last few
days, and all of them are represented to be looking rem irk-
ably well :—Listourne 'Mines declared 101. per share ; Go.
Rican, 5001., or 51. per share ; ant the United Mines, 1,0001,
being 51. per share.
At Great Work quarterly account, ending September, a
profit of 7601. wile made, which, added to a balance left
from a previous account, glowed a diet lend of 71. 10s. per
share, curling to credit of next account 2701. 12s. 2d.
At the Wellington Mine meeting, the accounts for the
; four months, ending August, showed a balance in hand of
1631. 16e. Id. The agent's report furnishes mach to hope

for.
At Rerodsfoot meeting the liabili•ies amounted to
1,7021 , Os. 10d., which appears principally to have accrued
by omissions on the part of the tomtir management, in not
bringing all the costs forward. The proposition made at the
meting is such that all shareholders will, no doubt, imme-
diately respond te, and place the mine, now making a profit
of 1101. per month, in a position capable of paying continu-
ous dividends.
At Bwlch Consols meeting, held on the Gth, a new com-
mittee was appointed, a
vecid the whole of the new issue of
shares were stated to ha been taken up. The reports from
the mine were highly setisfactay.
Wheal Vincent Is represented to be in a very satisfactory
and encouraging position. S,mesplendid specimens of tin have
bees recently received in town, which affords positive evidence
ci the richness of the lode. We burn the mine is now work-
lag to a profit.
Cawthorn, Console is about to sell a few tons of silver ore,
which will enable a fair calculation being made of the value
of the lode. The back of the 20 is still producing good
silver ore.
The first general meeting of the Tnthevy Consols (late
Caradoa Copper) was held on the let, when several highly-
respectable gentlemen were named as a committee of ma-
nagement for effectually carrying out the objects of the meet- I
log. The reports of come well-known practical agents, and
the opinions of miners who have recently worked in the
mine, were laid before the meeting, all agreeing as to the
value and importance of the sett, and measures adopted for
the immediate resumption of operations. Not more than
50-612th shares remain unappropriated.
Wheal Russel: account meeting was held on Monday, the
3rd instant, when Captain Barret, the superintending agent,
assured the shareholders that the call of 10s. per share would
be the leet required teem them. The mine is represented to
be in a mist gratifying position.

A very intelligent and esteemed correspondent, writing
from Cardiganshire, refers to the following mines as likely to
take a prominent and permanent position in that rich mine-
ral district :—Nant-y -Cria: There is a course of ore yielding
