TkiirNlNG INVESTMENT.--Parties seeking
safe and profitable investments should turn their attention
to the shares of those companies farmed for mining, especially when
their estates are in Cornwall and Devon. The dividends from many
of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 per cent, upon the subscribed
capital, while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent
prospects of soon doing so, afford abundant scope for speculation, not
alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise
on account of the great enhancement in the value of the stock at-
tendant thereon. Mr. JNO. S. LANE, 32. Poultry, London, having
correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a
position early to advise his clients. Parties communicating will re-
ceive all requisite information, and Mr. LANE will recommend
either dividends paying, or non-dividend paying concerns, to those
wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so
doing
