THE GREAT ONSLOW

We yesterday inserted in the NORTHERN DAILY
TIMES, a series of articles and correspondence,
extracted from the Carlisle Patriot, in reference to
the " Great Onslow Consolidated Mines." We
have since had handed to us the following state•
ment by a body of Liverpool gentlemen of high
standing, who are now connected with some of
these mines, and which we at once publish :
The great Onslow consolidated mine was commenced by
Bennett, Carr and Co., about four years since, and up to
October 14, 1853, was exclusively managed by them. At a
general meeting, held on the above date, it was resolved to
re-constitute the mine into a less number of shares, and to
vest the management in the hands of eight proprietors, who
will act as joint pursers, by whom all business will be trans-
acted. The produce from this mine, since the commence-
ment, has been 208 tons of copper ore, and about 2000 tons
of mundic, whereas it is usual in mines, situated as this is
in granite, to calculate returns will not be made for double
the time this mine has been working. In January, 1854,
the pursers intend to issue a prospectus. No shares are at
present for sale ; and if any proprietor wishes information,
any of the joint pursers will be happy to afford him it.
PENQUEAN QUARRIES.
These quarries formerly belonged exclusively to Bennett,
Carr, and Co. ; they have since been re-constituted into
20,000 shares, and are managed in a similar manner to
Onslow consols.

BISCARNE MINES.
A committee baying been appointed to examine all cir-
cumstances connected with this adventure, it was resolved
by them to abandon the sett, and the proprietors will re-
ceive their pro rata share of all the effects belonging to the
mine when all is wound up, which is shortly to be the case.

PERRA.-N CONSOLS.

This mine formerly belonge(FtWasalom Bennett, also
the freehold, he having worked the mine several years on
private account. It is now formed into a company of 15,000
shares. This adventure is also conducted by eight proprie-
tors called pursers ; and judging from the report of Captain
V. Vivian, the prosp.ects are very encouraging.
MOUNT'S BAY MINES.
This adventure was commenced about twelve months ago,
and is divided into 12,000 shares ; the sett is very extensive,
and in many parts yields rich ore. The same principle of
management is observed in this establishment as in the
above, viz., gentlemen chosen by the proprietors, whose cha-
racters for integrity and business habits are a sufficient
guarantee that their interest will not be overlooked.
The above mines arc all in Cornwall, and governed by the
Stannary Court laws, thereby enabling any proprietor to re-
linquish his shares at any time, and claiming his pro rata
share in money for all cash in hand, and the value of uten-
sils and machinery existing on the mine.
These mines have been re-constituted, and are all in good
working order, now established on a solid basis ; and, judg-
ing from the reports of some of the most eminent mining
engineers, there is every reason to believe that they will ulti-
mately become profitable adventures.
After the public meetings of the proprietors, the. explana-
tion that was then given, and the various
resolutions that
were fully discussed, and adopted, we think that it is ill-advised
for your correspondent to publish a string of letters, which
were put in the Carlisle Patriot on political grounds alone.
