MINING OPERATIONS, GREENLAND.— It was men
tinned on the 23d of June last that an expedition was
about to start from Portsmouth to test the mining capa-
bilities of the southern coast of Greenland, in conse-
quence of a grant having been made by the King of
Denmark to a Mr. Lundt. The Dolphin yacht, of 217
tons, which was fitted out for the purpose by Mr.
Albert Robinson, Sir Walter Trevelyan, and Mr. Regner
Westenholtz, has now returned, after an unprecedented
passage of six days from Cape Farewell to Land's-end,
having on board up wardsof 16 tons of copper ore, said to
average more than 50 per cent. of pure metal, and a
great variety of specimens of silver and lead ores. The
expedition was accompanied by Mr. W. C. Vivien, a
mining captain from Cornwall, and Mr. Hoff, a mine-
ralogist, on the part of the Danish Government ; and
their report is stated to be very satisfactory regarding
the metalliferous character of the entire country included
iu the grant. Mr. Friis, a Norwegian mining captain,
and ten men were left at the mines to carry on operations.
