MINES.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The mining share market continues aeive, and a
large amount of business has been transalted during the
week. The probability of • prograsive improvement with
the new year is fully anticipated from the general inquiries
now making for shares sold for investment.
Heignston Downs Consols is reported to be in an improving
position ; come very rich stones of copper have been taken
from the 35 fathom level, weighing upwards of 1401bs. in •
stone

In Tuicroft an.l Tamar Consols there hu been some large
transactions during the week ; the former continues improv-
ing, and Tamar Consols is at present in a very gratifying
poUtion.
South and Eist Tartar reports are of a very satisfactory
character ; and the pitches, to the former especially, have
been set at a low tribute, whilst the men are making good
wages. A large number of shares have changed hands this
wcik, and inquiries for them are rather above the supply at
present prices. At East Tamar, 70 tone of silver lead ores
have been soli—the highest offer being 141. 15s. 6d., being
two months' raising..
Cook's Kitchen continues to improve, and a demand for
the shares

Several Trelawny mum have changed hands this week.
A dividend of 221.105. per share was declared at the meet-
ing of Norlh Pool.

At Ballaswidden two-monthly account, a dividend of 91.
per share, amounting to 7301. 16s. was declared for Septem-
ber and October, leaving a balance of 741. 2s. Bd. to credit
of adventurers, exclusive of balance left from the previous
account. The mine is represented in a very prosperous
p.ai,
-..0n.
At Speen' Console account for September and October, a
dividend of 35.. per share for the two months was declared,
leaving a balance in hand of 1951. This appears to be the 14th
dividend in four yeirs, affording an average return of 80
per cent. per annum on the original outlay. The mine is
reported to be highly productive, and progressively hai-
-1 proving.
In the " Progress of Mines daring the Past Year," pub-
lished in the journal last week, the amount of dividends paid
by Balleswidden is stated at 2,7601, and Spearne Consols at
6361. We have sines been favoured with a statement by a
large holder, who informs us, that " Balleiwidden Mine has
paid to the adventurers to the end of December, 2,9231.4..,
and left in hand of purser, 1,0071. Ils. 6d.: snaking a profit
of 3,9301. 16s. fed. during the year. Speen. Consols paid to
the adventurers, daring the year, 1,0241., while the journal
says 6661." We are thankful to our correspundent for this
correction : and would feel obliged to any purser or agent
who would furnish us with their periodical statement of as
; and we are certain our esteemed friend Mr. Wet-
eon, would feel equally so in participating, whereby his
labours would be diminished, and a great obstacle overcome.
There is a fact of importance to notice in connection with
the metal trade, that of the first sale of copper from the
Burn Burn Mines, South Australia, in the Indian market,
which realised 511 rupees per cwt.—about 961. per ton.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands since
our last: East Wheal Rose, Trtivisky and Barrier, Devon
Great Consols, Bedford United, Treleigh Consols, South
Tamar, Reignston Down, Wheal May, East Tamar, Cook's
Kitchen, Wheal Trehane, Tinereft, Lamerooe, West Provi-
dence, Camborne Consols, East Buller, Tregorden, Tn.
lawny, West Caradon, Mary Ann, Condarrow, South
Frances, But Wheal Crafty, Herod/foot, South Tagus,
West Wheal Jewel, and Devon and Courteney Consols.
At Tregorden bi-monthly account for September and
October, • balance of 2961. 6e. was hand against the com-
pany, and a call of 11. per share was made. Arrangements
were made for the purpose of erecting a 36-inch cylinder
engine, the improved prospects of the mine fully warranting
an efficient development.
At the Callington Mines' quarterly meeting, held on Wed-
nesday last, the statement of anonnm for the three months
ending September, showed • balance of 2,2221. Is. 7d.
against the Callingtca Miami and 1,2451. fa. Bd. against the
Kelly Bray sett. The directors and agents' repute are
given in detail in another column, the latter holding out en-
couragement of imprevements and increased returns on the
lode being intenseled in the 125 fen. level, end the diagonal
abaft being sank In the same depth.
The East Oeseertede Mining Company held their annual
meeting oa K.. lest. The balance in fanned the mine
amounts to 1011.1 M 2d. The sales of ores during the year
appear to be 1,8071. 4s, 6d. The committee's report enters
into a fall explanation of their position last year, and fur-
nishes a very satiation:, account of their preemie prospects,
and soonootil mina adopted for bringing the mine into
• perm and preltable state of working.
In foreign mina there has been an average amount of
business done, espedelly In St. John del Rey and United
Mexican shuts- in the latter there has been a decline,
whilst in the 'former an advance. National Brazilian,
Copiapo, and Guadalcanal shame have also changed bands.
The Linares weekly report represents the operations as
