MINING IN TELLIGEN CE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The actual transactions in the mining share marke
this week have been unusually limited, notwithstand-
ing the improving position of the mines generally,
and the firmness of the metal market, with an upward
tendency. The small amount of share business
during the week may, in some measure, be attributed
to the several interruptions which business has sus-
tained generally, in consequence of the different days
appointed in London and the country for humi-
liation and prayer, on account of the prevailing
epidemic.
The directors of Devon Great Consols, at their
meeting on Tuesday last, declared a dividend of 5,1201.

not yet at maturity, including 5,0001. Exchequer-
bills forming the reserved fund. The advices from
the mines are satisfactory, and the improvement in
the standard cannot fail being very agreeable to the
proprietors.
Treviskey and Barrier are represented to have im-
proved, and shares have been done at an advance.
Tincrofts have also been done at better prices.
East Wheal Rose, we learn, is looking much better
than she has for some time past; the bottom levels are
improving, as well as some other important points in
the mine. The next dividend may be anticipated at
30/. per share, the same as the last.

they are now working on nine lodes—William's,
Lloyd's, and Theaker's, are the most productive ;
