An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
Herapath's Amoral, shows the total receipts on
6,l3omiles to be 270,128/., which gives an average of
43/. 10s. per mile per week. In the corresponding
week of last year, the amount was 249,9811. on
6,192 miles, or 401. 10s. per mile per week. Them
is thus an increase in the gross amount
received of 29,1411., or 10.83 per cent., an in-
crease in the mileage of 238 miles, or 3.84
per cent., and nn increase of 3/. in the amount re-
ceived per mile per week. The R„ /way Timesesti-
mates the total receipts on 0,300 miles, since the Ist
of July, nt 5,548,311 L, averaging B+4o/. 1 Is. 3.1 d. per
mile, and as the receipts for the same period of 1850
were only 4,087,970/. on 5,991 miles, or 782/.25.2 !d
per mile, the difference is shown to be in favour of
the present year to the extent of 98/. 12s. I id. per
mile.

MINES.

!Front the find g News.)
The Australian Mining Company have advices to
the tith June. The report from the mines states that
the 4 lathom level is continued westward on Hagen's
lode, the ground being soft and turning out some
good work for the stompers. Wotton's shaft is now
3S fathoms deep fromsurflice, and about 2 fathoms
remain to hole on edit level, which will be completed
in the course of the month. In Downes' mine driving
northward is continued at the 15 fathom level; in
the end there is about 21 feet of lode, composed of
very tine gossan with tine specimens of yellow and
grey sulphuret of copper throughout the gossan, and
yellow ore interspersed in the hard spar. Downes:
mine is looked upon as a good speculation, although
nut adding much to the produce of the mint% at its
present depth of 15 fathoms from surface. The adit
on Alexander's lode is now so far south as to be
under Alexander's shalt, cc hieli is to be sunk for ven-
tilation. The lode is composed of spar spotted in
various places with yellow pyrites, some of which
will pay well fur stamping. the thll size of this
lode is not known, as no mote than from 2 to
3 feet has been taken down in the adit.
The size and regularity of dip and direction shows it
to be a most substantial lode, and likely to be very
productive of copper at sonic point at present un-
known, and it is considered proper to persevere in
driving this edit, the ground being very favourable.
Having sunk Penhalcs winze down to the 10 fathom
level it is finind that there is a junction of Bakers
and the side lode, and having opened ground on the
former which is productive of good stamping work,
it is now driving west through the side lode, and
also produces good work for stamping. Itenhales
winze is to be sunk on side lode, and is producing
good ore for stampiag. This lode in edit is full 9
feet wide, all of which is spotted with ore, and will
pay welt for stamping, and should it turn out simi-
lar froin edit to 10 fathom level, it will supply the
stompers fur a considerable time. Six men have
been set to drive the 10 fathom level south on the
side lode from Masterman's and towards the two
winzcs List named, which will be the means of laying
open some valuable ore graced to supply the stump-
ing mills, and there will now be a chance of raising
sonic ore fit for shipment in the rough state.
'l•he news to hand by the Asia from all the mining
districts of Culifornia is again of a very important
character, the returns being represented as extremely
large. Those called" dry diggings" will be most
successfully worked during the winter, and the rain,
it is considered, will present little obstacle to the
working of the quartz mines, which may thus be ex-
pected to continue yielding abundantly throughout
the year. Quartz mining, as we anticipated would
lx• the case, is undergoing great extension. Many
' companies were preparing to work these mines with
improved machinery, and plentiful supplies of all
descriptions were being sent forward from the sea-
coast. The accounts from the bars on the Tuolumne
and the Mariposa mines mention that great activity
prevailed, and rich auriferous deposits were being
daily discovered. The black sand that is found is
the beds of sonic of the rivers is beginning to attract
attention. The gold, however, is found is be distri-
buted in exceedingly minute particles, and it is found
impossible, with the means at present at command
on the spot, to
~separate it from the sand. So soon
as an efficient means of separating the gold from the
sand shall have been put into operation, a field of
immense magnitude will be presented for labour.
Samples have been sent to eminent European and
American chemists for analysation. Meanwhile the
shipments of the precious metal from San Francisco
arc proceeding on a large scale.
