Report of Captain John Webb, on the Great Hewas Mine.
Gentlemen,—This well-known tin mine needs no comment, being
famous for tin. It ceased to work abut thirty-five years since. An
attempt was made some four or five years since to resume working
.3, some parties of limited capital, who drained the mine to the thirty-
' 'ix fathom level only, where the monthly returns were from seven to
eight tons of tin per month, and embarrassing circumstances caused
abandonment.
The engine shaft is sunk to a 126-fathom level, giving nine levels
below the thirty-six, to extend eastward into whole ground, where
there is no doubt of making important discoveries.
There is much till ground throughout the various levels that will
Zqv work to a profit, and was not valued is the old workings ; the
highest tribute then given was 7s. In the pound. A great quantity
tit tin per month may safely be calculated on in twelve months after

time nearly 701. per ton.
There aro great advantages for Immediate working, viz.. a string
well-built engine-house, stack, smithery, carpentry, and other build-
as ; the engine-shalt timbered and well secured to the thirty-six
fathom level, besides several other shafts, which cost many thousands
of Pounds.
Capital of 17,0001. to 18,0001. will place this mine in good re-
vu...e.and soon on the dividend list.
The advantages over the last working, viz., the improved machi-
ve_rY, mode of working, dressing the orcs, the healthy state of the
etsrtade, are considerable. I can conscientiously recommend this
