MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mining Journal.)
A very satisfactory business has been transacted this
week in dividend mines; but the rapid accumulation of
new projects fur Australian and Californian gold re-
searches has considerably damped the inquiry for the
speculative and progressive classes of British mines, the
former in particular. It is to be remarked, however,
that capital once drawn within the mining circle, and
with her results, seeing the scope there is tor its judici-
ous application, is more likely to remain and circulate
therein than to seek for other channels of investment,
now that railways in particular have been thrown into
e ahade, and dividends in mining shares realising very
large 2; and to'esably certain rates of iu:erest. Circum-
