the Company's lands in the Hunter River district, and that upon
subjecting them to analysis the following result is given:—
" Assay-office, 79, Hatton-garden, London, February, 18.53.
" The specimen of gold quartz assayed for the New South V ales
Gold Mining Company contains 14 ounces of fine gold to the ton of
20 cwt. of quartz. (Signed) "JOHNSON and MArrarir.."
This return, at the price of gold at 4/. per ounce, must yield: the
most extraordinary results, and in making this communicatima the
Committee have likewise the pleasure of stating, that of the fre,Shold
auriferous land now absolutely in their possession, they have en tered
into a conditional contract for the disposal of 500 acres on :such
terms as alone place this Company in a position equal to it any
others commanding a very high premium, and also that measures

progress, by which the interests of the undertaking will be insured
to the fullest extent. A detailed report will be shortly issued.

These mines are situated in the parishes of St. Ewe and M man,
in the county of Cornwall, and constitute in themselves a dist r.ct of
well-known celebrity for mineral riches.
The grants of the setts are for 21 years, from C. H. J. Ha, kins,
Esq., and the Earl of Mount Edgecombe, at the unusually favo arable
dues of 1-24th and 1-18th.
The mines are distant only about four miles from the place WC ship-
ment, so that there will be a cheap transit for the ores, and fhr the
carriage of materials to the mines.
There are many productive lodes comprised within the limits. of the
setts, several of which have been sufficiently tested, and wort rod on,
to justify the concurrent testimony and decided opinions off sired in
the accompanying reports.
The present Company is formed for working these celebrated
mines, and it is only necessary to lay a few facts before the public
relating to their past and present circumstances and position, to jus-
tify their being strongly recommended as a most profitable !invest-
ment.
A very large sum of money was expended some years ago in. laying
open these mines, and at that time the production exceed e d forty
tons of tin ore per month ; owing, however, to the low price of tin,
and the expensive and inefficient management, the operatims were
discontinued.
The sane quantity of tin ore can at once be raised when au) mines
are brought into operation, and at anything like the present price of
701. per ton, there would be derivable a clear gain of 1, MI. per
month.
The mines are 26 fathoms deep, and there are 10 levels, fro n which
a produce of 60 tons per month may reasonably be calculated on ;
but, it is confidently expected that, from fresh discoveries coftsequent
upon the extension of the present levels, and the more eci xnomical
working of the different lodes, much greater returns *will be
realised. '
There is also a large tract of virgin ground immediately t uljoining
to the eastward, where several lodes of great promise h :eve been
opened, from which, at present, some very excellent tin ore Is being
raised, and which will also admit of being worked to the greatest
advantage from the present Company's main engine-shaft : tt 311 the
different deeper levels.
An arrangement has been made with the present proprietors, by
which the leases, steam-engine, water-wheel, stamps, and all the
machinery and buildings whatsoever, with the mines, will be assigned
to the new company for 9,0001., and the amount will be t alien and
held in shares in this Company.
With the assistance of a new and powerful steam-engif to, which
will be immediately erected, and other requisite multi) iory, the
whole will be in perfect working order within six months. •
Assuming, at a very moderate calculation, that 50
tons are raised per month, the annual receipts, at
701 per ton, would be ........ ••• • •• •.•• • • •• £42,000 .0 0

the Cost-book principle, under the stannary laws, and, co asequently,
no deed will require to be signed.
Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed forms, to
Messrs. Dowling and Borthwick, 75, Old Broad-street..; or to the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company.

Report of Captain John Webb, on the Great novas; Mine.
Gentlemen,—This well-known tin mine needs no con- anent being
famous for tin. It ceased to work about thirty-five yea rs since. An
attempt was made some four or five years since to res arne working
by some parties of limited capital, who drained the mine to the thirty-
six fathom level only, where the monthly returns were i Yom seven to
eight tons of tin per month, and embarrassing circumstances caused
abandonment.
The engine shaft is sunk to a 126-fathom level, givir ig nine levels
below the thirty-six, to extend eastward into whole go found, where
there is no doubt of making important discoveries.
There is much tin ground throughout the various rels that will
now work to a profit, and was not valued in the old v rorkings ; the
highest tribute then given was 7s. in the pound. A s Seat quantity
of tin per month may safely be calculated on in twelve months after
the engine and the necessary plant is fixed, which will fetch a this
time nearly 701. per ton. •
There are great advantages for immediate working , viz.. a strong,
well-built engine-house, stack, smithery, carpentry, and other build--
inks • the engine-shaft timbered and well secured, to., the thirty-six
fathom level, besides several other shafts, which cost n kany thousands
of pounds.
A capital of 17,000/. to 18,0001. will place this mine in good re-
,tages over the last working, viz., the irni:nroved machl-
puTteheaf.ddvsanoon on the dividend list.
nery, mode of working, dressing the ores, the healti or state of the
tin trade, are considerable. I can conscientiously r e commend this
investment to my best friends, being fully persuaded t4nat shares will
be worth 100 per cent. (if the mine is well managed at surface and
underground) in twelve months after drained to bott Dm.

Report of John Jenkins on Great Hewes 3 Line.
Agreeably to your request, I hand you a Report on the above
Mine :
The sump shaft is down 126 fathoms below the ad It level, which
will leave thousands of fathoms of tin ground open ilor tribaters to
work on, which can be worked from 75. to 10s. in tit- pound, if the
water is drained out.
I believe you could raise a great quantity of tin per month on the
lode that is open in the old mine. Looking at the lod e east and west
of the old workings, I say, put up an engine of sufficient power in
the old house to fork the mine, which can be done with less outlay
than some calculate. The house is u the sump is down ; the
ladder-road is complete to 36 fathom level; a lift of pumps is stand-
ing in a cistern at this level (worth 1000 An engine can be put up
in this house, and the water forked to the 36 fathom level in three
months. At this level only you could raise from six to seven tons
of en per month ; the levels in the mine are the —3G, 48, 58, 66, 76,
86, 96, 106, 116, and 126—as soon as these levels are drained of
water, extend them downd west on the lode, through the ciurses
of tin. The sump iso a sufficient depth to work the mine for
20 years, and not sink another lift. A 70-inch engine is sufficient for the
a steam stamps and whim will be required. I have
w
d roaruk
ge
hd
t tn engine—he
ine for seven or eight years, and in nearly all the
levels. My opinion is, if the mine is worked in this way, she will he
one of the best paying tin mines in the county.
Report of William Ham on Great HeWas Mine.
I worked in Hewes Mine for many years during the time it was
found so predmtive for tin, being one of the best tin mines in the
county ; but was worked in a most extravagant manner, and was
raistig nearly 40 tons of per month when she knocked ; the price
was then low (about 401. per ton). At this time it will fetch nearly
701. per ton.
Tho mine is sunk 126 fathoms below edit. There was a good lode
in the 126 east end when the mine knocked.
There is plenty of ground remaining in the upper levels thateasward will
pay well for working. I believe, by extending the level ,
important discoveries will be made, and a profitable mine will be
found.
