MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal )
The crippled condition of railway property at a period
when it was expected to have resumed one of its most
flourishing aspects, is producing a gradual withdrawal of
capital from that gigantic interest-one of the effects of
which will be, no doubt, to increase investments in
mines. An effect is, indeed, already percepdb;e in our
woken nut only in the increased amount of business,
but the growing and extended inquiry for mining shares,
even of the speculative clesses, in which more in amount
is now doing than in dividend mines. A remarkable
degree of success is also attending the numerous explo
rations in the eastern part of Cornwall and the Tavi-
stock district, for the shares in which great activity pre-
vails, and being in some cases at a considerable advance
on the original cost, a fresh stimulus is given to the
market, of a legitimate and satisfactory character.

steady in price. Lead is without material alteration.
