VIM OF JAPANESE TO THE COPPER MINES AT
ALDERLEY EDGE. In accordance with an invitation
given some time back, by Mr. Charles E. Proctor, of
Macclesfield, the chairman of the Alderley Copper Min-
ing Company, to Mr. Ryle Holme and the Japanese
gentlemen under his care, a- numerous party assembled
on Saturday last to view these extensive works. During
the time occupied in lighting up the subterranean galle-
ries and caves, which were illuminated for the occasion,
the Japanese guests made a minute inspection of the
works above ground. A move was then made to-
wards the incline leading to the mouth of the mine.
The company were gratified to learn that Lady Stanley,
the Hon. Miss Stanley, with other members of the same
family, had signified their pleasure to witness the illumine-
nations of the inner works and galleries, and her ladyship
led the way, followed by the guests of the chairman and &
strong muster of the fair sex and other residents of Alder-
ley and Chorley. Suddenly they emerged into a large vault,
whose dimensions the light from hundreds of candles failed
to reveal. This, was, however, from time to time acconr
plished by the mining men who were perched aloft with sup-
plies of magnesium wire, which being burned, lit up the cavity*
and its ramifications with surpassing effect and brilliancy.
From this point the works seemed to take a sudden dip
downwards ; still the path was never impracticable, and
walking was continued with pleasing facility for perhaps
a quarter of a mile further down, leading to a still larger
cavity, lit up with innumerable candles and impromptu
chandeliers. This was evidently that part of the mine nowt
being vigorously worked. The spacious cavern was repeat-
edly and brilliantly illuminated with blue lights, magne-
sium wire, and yellow, pink, and white fires; and at this,
the culminating point of interest, the Japanese guests could
be seen gliding with great alacrity into the different lodes
or subsidiary galleries from which the copper stone 15
being daily extracted in large quantities. The pleasing
interest of the company present was here kept up for fully
a quarter of an hour, every minute of which was filled uP
with a variety of illuminating effects which elicited fre"
quent exclamations of gratification. Subsequently 06
guests of the chairman adjourned to the Queen's Hotel, ill
Chorley, where a sumptuous repast had been provided.
