From the Taquaril Gold Mining Company
(limited) the following report, under date the
28th July, 1870, has this day been received from Mr.
T. S. Treloar : General operations since my
last respects, enlargement of level to old mine, to facili-
tate exit of crushed and other matter, has been in hand,
little or no debris, consequently has been removed
from the old workings. From the shoot in
under the lode, found standing high and dry
in stopes west of old shaft 2i tons of
stuff have been broken and treated at the sampling-room
in the same manner as that advised in my last, and a pro-
duce of 750 z. 14dwts. troy of gold derived. With this
exception all our discoveries remitin untouched, owing to

at present at our command for pulverising the ore
A new engine-shaft is progressing apace, and will
we expect in the course of another month or six weeks to
strike the lodes. Water is becoming more plentiful. In
the deep adit good duty is being done. Martha crosscut
and crosscut to lode from deep adit have been placed
under suspension, and the hands transferred to the stamps
wheel pit, where, I regret to state, the ground is very
oublesome. The timber work for stamping mill,washhous
and tramroads is in a forward state, but the excavations are
not progressing with the despatch I could wish. At the
stamp wheel pit we have met in the bottom with the same
extensive bed of Manganese, and clay encountered at the
pumping wheel pit, and, being moist, great difficulty is
experienced in handling it. Most of the hands employed
about Casa Grande have also been removed to the wheel pit
in question. The remaining surface works are advancing
steadily.

The report of the Alum and Ammonia Company
(limited), presented at the meeting to-day, shewed au
available total of £11,541, and a dividend at the rate of
10 per cent. per annum was declared, absorbing £4,173,
and leaving £7,368 to be carried forward.
At the meeting yesterday of the Crown Preserved Coal
Company (limited) at Liverpool, a dividend of 4s. per
share was declared for the half-year ended the 30th of
June, absorbing £1,134, and leaving £.538 to be carried
forward.

The Demerara Railway has suffered a decrease in its
traffic of 87 dollars for the fortnight ending July 23rd, as
compared with the corresponding period of 1869.
