MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Cioci.

The operations in the mining market to-day
have been rather limited. In the Stock Exchange
nu transactions are ofiicially recorded, but shares in the
undermentioned mines have changed hands, viz. :
—Great Retallack, East Wheal Russell, Wheal
Wheal Buller, Wheal Trelawney, Wheal
GMileioreL Wheal Kitty (Lelant).
In foreign mining share., a rise of about 30s.
has taken place in St John del Rey. United
Mexican are marked 3; ; Great Northern Coppur,
Ito prem. ; and Linares, 9i to 9i.
The directors of the St. Join del Rey Mining
Company (Limited) have received by telegram from
Lisbon the following report, dated Morro Velho,
December : " Produce for November, 30,662
°haves; cost for ditto, 9,2021. ; profit for ditto,
5,8331. ; produce 10 days of December, 12,135
oitavas."

The report of the directors of the Port Phillip
and Colonial Gold Mining Company diatribes the
manner in which the Victoria (London) Mining
Company has been formed. The capital is 25,0001.,
in 11. shares, with a deposit of 2s. 6d. per share,
and a payment of like amount on allotment. The
shareholders of the old company had the prefer-
ence in subscribing. The interest which the Port
Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Company held
in the Mine of Sintingbool has been transferred to
that company by payment of the outlay made by
the Port Phillip Company, so that the latter has no
longer any interest in mining. The amount
remitted in payment is 1,000 f., for which this com-
pany holds the acceptance of the Victoria (London)
Mining Company (Limited). The profit on the
quartz crushing for the year ending the 30th of
September has been 13,1801. The result of the
directors' report is officially summarised as follows :
That the company is ant at this moment in a financial/
position to nuke a dividend, owing to the payment off of
the 5,0001. mortgage debt, and of an outlay of over 7,000 L
on machinery and additions to plant, but looking at the pro-
bable prospective receipts during the next six months on
account of profits, the directors recommend an adjournment
of this meeting to—eay the 21st July next.
At North Downs Vine meeting yesterday the soco .nts
allowed a debit balance of 172/.

The East noseaaroe Mine accounts, presented at the
meeting yesterday, showed a credit balance of 80df., being a
profit of about 100/. per month.
At the Devon Kayoed& Mine meetingyeaterday, a resolu-
tion was passed in favour of voluntarily winding up the
undertaking.
