MINING IN'T'ELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The amount of business transacted during the week
has not much improved upon the last.
Several shares in Devon Great Consols have changed
hands during the week. We stated in our last, "on the
authority of eminent practical mining agent, who has
recently inspected the mines, that upwards of 60,0001.
worth of ore is in sight"--it should lave been " 60,000
tons," which, calculated at the price the last parcel rea-
lised, will amount to 390,0001. We learn that improve-
merits have since taken place in Anna Maria and Wheal
Fanny. At Wheal Emma, the engine-shaft is down 20
fathoms, in highly favourable ground for sinking.
South Wheal Frances, Wheal Basset, West Buller,
East Pool, and Condurrow have been in request during
the week. Lewis, Trelawny, and Tincroft have been
sought for at former quotations, and some business done.
East Tamar is reported to have improved, and a few
shares changed hands.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
since our hut :—Devon Great Consols, Treviskey and
Barrier, Trelawny, Trebane, Bedford United, East
Tamar, South Tamar, Kingsett and Bedford, Welling.
ton, West Tolgus, Stray Park, Condurrow, Mary Ann,
Tincroft, Tamar Consols, South Molton, and Kirkcud-
brightshire.
At the Tincroft annual meeting the statement of ac-
counts for Nov., Dec., and Jan., showed a profit on
the three months' working of 1,1561. 35., carrying a ba-
lance of 9461. to the credit of the next account; during
that period the sales of copper and tin realised
8,1821. 6s. 41 The directors and manager's reports,
which are given in detail in another column, are per-
spicuous, and highly gratifying to the proprietary. A
vast extent of valuable ore ground is laid open, and
more continued to be developed—the laudable object of
the directors being to have a continuous dividend-pay-
ing mine, instead of immediate large profits with little
reserve. We consider much credit is due to them for
their steady perseverance and ability in the manage-
ment during the almost insurmountable oppression for
the past two years, arising from the unprecedentedly de-
pressed state of the copper and tin market. We find
that, notwithstanding the many difficulties, an extra
outlay of 1,2001. for necessary erections have been ex-
be expected in about
mthaayt 100,0001. worth of ore

expenditure of 10,5021. I Is.; while the receipts were
10,1771. 185.2,1; leaving a small debtor balance of
3241. 12s. 10d. The reports from the different works
were, in general, satisfactory; and it is expected that,
when the workings are fully developed, a profit of 4001.
to 5001. monthly may be realised. The workings had
been visited by Mr. P. N. Johnson, who was of opi-
ni in that, in order to make them profitable, operations
should be carried on on a large scale. The general
body of the shareholders coincided in this opinion, and
expressed the confidence in the management of the
board of dirt ctors.
At the Wheal Seton meeting the accounts for Jan.
and Feb. were audited. The balance-sheet shows a
loss of 2711. I Is., the amount of costs for the two months
icing 3,0001. 9s. and the returns 2,7281. 183. A balance
of 4401. was brought from the previous account, and
1691. 3s. carried to the credit of next account.
At a meeting of shareholders arrangements were made
for resuming the East Godolphin Mine. The sett is
divided into 256 shares, and a call of 503. per share
made, for the purpose of erecting an engine of adequate
power, and other requisites, and sinking a new engine-
ing placed in the hands of
shaft—the management be
Mr. Vawdrey.
At the Wheal Calstock meeting the accounts for the
past seven mouths were audited and passed ; a call of
11. per share wus made, to pay off the liabilities. The
agent's report of the operations and prospects of the mine
is highly satisfactory. From 40 to 50 tons of ore appear
to have been broken from a bunch found in the 50 Ica.
level, and about 100 fins. in length of ore ground laid
open. An additional piece of ground has been obtained
which will form a valuable adjunct to the property, in-
asmuch that several buildings and other necessary work
is already there. The further requisite machinery is to
be r rested directly.
The Southern and Western Mining Company of Ire-
land meeting, which was adjourned from the 19th March,
is convened for to-day, in the city of Cork, for the elec-
tion of four directors, receiving report, auditing accounts,
and general business of the company. We are glad to
hear that the directors have some good news to com-
municate to the shareholders.
Dispatches have been received by the St. John Del
Rey, Imperial Brazilian, National Brazilian,and Copiapo
Mining Companies.
The St. John del Rey letters are to the 7th Feb. The
returns for January give a profit of 3,984/. 2s. Bd.,_ the
net produce being 20,298 oita. The agent's report of the
mine is satisractory, and represen's th present prospects
indicative of progressive improvements.
The Imperial Brazilian dispatches are to the 13th
February. The returns from Gongo, from Jan. 23 to
Feb. 12, amount to 12 ibs. 1 oz. 1 dwt.; from Bananal,
ditto, 14 lbs. 9 0z5.=.26 lbs. 10 oz. 1 dwt.—making a
total since Jan 1, of 42 lbs. 5 ozs. 1 dwt.
The National Brazilian letters advise the returns from
Cocaes for ten days from the 3d to the 13th February,
at mks. 10 2 7 60, and Cuiaba, from the 3d to the 6th
February, at mks. 17 6 65. The manager's report of
the mine conveys the expectation of shortly meeting
with a rich deposit of gold at the point where the Ban-
deira and Cocaes veins form a junction.
The Copiapo letters are to the 31st January, furnish-
ing the returns for the month of December, which ap•
peer to be about 55 tons of copper. The agent, in re-
ferring to the operations at the Checo Mine, advises of
a considerable irnproveradnt in a winze in the 12fm. level,
west of the new shalt, from whence during the past week
several Weis of rich ore had been raised; whilst the lode
was progressing in size without diminishing in quality.
Preparations were making to drive the 20 fm. level, to
communicate with the winze. Tho Esperanza Mine is
producing a large quantity of copper, but not of sufficient
richness for transmission, averaging only from 10 to 12
per cent. In the San Pedro mines they are only stop-
ping the 5 and 10 fm. levels, which are paying costs,
The silver mines are represented to be in a highly pro-
ductive position, especially the San Jose del Carmen, in
which the lode is large and rich, the produce estimated at
600/. and 8001. per ton. At Alfin Hallada the vein has
been disordered by a slide; but an improvement has fol.
lowed, and bids fair to become productive. The Carmen
