From South Crenver (May 21) Captain E. Chegwin re-
ports :—ln the &trod shaft, sinking below the 105. the
lode is 14 foot wide, producing good stones of copper ore,
but not to value. We have taken down the lode in 105
east, and find it about 9 inches wide, producing stones of
copper ore. Our tribute pitches in bottom of 105 are look-
ing well. South mine—ln the 51 crosscut south the
days."oun is favourable. We expect to cut the lode in a few
From Hawkmoor Stine (Nay 21) Captains J. Richards
andJ.T. Phillips state :—" The lode iuBo west is 2 feet wide,
composed of quarts, capel, mundic, sad spots of copper ore.
In the 70 west the lode is from 2to 24 feet wide, composed
of quartz, capel, and occasional stones of copper ore. The
60 and 50 levels out are suspended. and the men pat to
stops in back of 50 east, where the lode is most productive.
In :50 west the lode is from 1 to 2 feet wide, composed of
quartz, capel, muu,lic, and spots of copper ore occasionally.
The lode in the stopes, hack of the 50 mat, are worth 2 tons
of copper ore per fathom. The pitch in bock of 30 is sus-
pended, and the men put to drive a 23 on the course of the
lode, which is a fine course of ore, and worth 3 tons per
fathom. West Hawkmoor : In the adit west, on No. 2 lode,
the lode is as yet small, but continuing to produce a small
quantity of saving work for copper ore.
From Wheal Arthur Captain T. Carpenter reports (May
21) :—" The old lode in edit level west is 4) feet wide, pro-
ducing 15 ton of copper ore per fathom. During the. past
week the mew have been engaged in lengthening the rise in
back of edit level west, which is now 18 feet long, and the
lode worth 601. per fathom on an average for the length of
the rise. We have driven the 150 4 fathoms south on boun-
dary croiscoune, but not yet cut the lode, which cannot,
however, be far off, judging from previous heaves and the
fact that the mad has lately become wet and the crossconrse
producing stones of copper ore occasionally."
From North Dolcoath MieeCaptainJ. Vivian reports(May
20) :—" We are progressing rapidly with the sinking of the
engine shaft, which is now about 84 fathoms below the 20,
and shall thus soon—and at a small cost—reach a depth
where we shall have a chance of making a good discovery,
answering to the rich omen which we passed through near
the surface. The lode became disordered immediately
under the goasan but as we get deeper it improves in
diameter, and is Producing occasionally some good stones
of lead and copper, with a small quantity of native silver
imbedded in fluor spar. In the 20 east we are in deity
expectation of intersecting the crosscourse, east of which,
in the 10, we had a much more promising lode than west of
it, and we therefore hope for a favourable change in this
level after passing the same point. We have discovered
some small veins of black copper ore in the 10 north.
are still stripping down the disordered groued by the side of
the level, to ascertain if there is more lode to be found."
