MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The business done this week has been of a remarkably
steady character, and without much advance as respects
dividend concerns, with the exception of such as have
shown improvements in the lodes, in which the rise has
been sudden and important. We foresee that we are
approaching the limit to which prudential capitalists will
be inclined to go, in hesitating to pay a price for a divi-
dend-share when the interest of capital would become
reduced below 12i. or 15 per cent.; and, doubtless, this
is a sound and practical stand to take. Several new
concerns of favourable aspects have had their shares
distributed without difficulty; and, on the whole, we
congratulate the mining interest on the present condition
of affairs.

The Metal Market has been very animated during the
week.—Copper firm, and in good demand.—Foreign
Tin more inquired for, and several parcala have changed
hands; a good business doing in Tin Plates.—Lead is
firm, with a brisk demand.
The arrivals at Swansea during the week have been
—1,821 tons of copper ore, and 9 tons 11 cwts. precipi-
tated copper ore, for the Cobre Company; and also 567
tons of copper ore; 782 tons of copper regulus; and 20
tuns of silver ore. The sale of copper ores, on Tuesday,
amounted to 2,167 tons, producing 22,4361. 115. 6d.
The weekly sale of copper ores at Redruth, on Thurs-
day, amounted to 2,613 tons, which produced
16,5271. 1 ls. 6d.
_ _

Wheal Mary (Redruth) sold 100 tons of copper ore,
realizing 4211. 2s. 3d.
Tincroft sold 26 tons of black tin at 42/. per ton, and 4
tons at 251. per ton.

The Rock's and Treverbyn Mines sold two parcels of
tin—the one at 551. 7s. 6d., tho other at 361. 10s. per ton.
The report states the mine to present very favourable
appearances, and promises for increased returns as the
workings prcgress.
Wheal Mary Ann sold two parcels of lead ore-88 tons
to Pontifex and Wood, at 201. 18s. 61, and 99 tons to
the rasiar Smelting Company, at 91. ls. sd. per ton.
The lowoat tender for the first lot was 181. ls., by Locke,
Blackett, and Co., and for the latter 41. 48., by Walker
and Co.
Court Grange sold 24 tons of silver lead ore, at 171.
514 6d. pe.r ton.
At Callington, a parcel of lead ores, 45 tons, was sam-
pled on Monday. The Kelly Bray lode now produces 8
tons of copper ore per fm.
At MillpooL they are raising tin, and the stamps are
fully employed, preparing for returns.
At Wellington Mine a new lode, worth 151. per fathom,
has been cut.

A lode, 18 in. wide, has been cut at East Wheal
Leisure in driving the 10 fen. cross-cut from Taylor's
shaft; it contains copper, jack, and mundic. Both north
and south lodes are expected to be cut in a few days.
At Wheal Adams, the lode has been intersected in the
28 fm. level, the part cut into being very promising, and
productive of lead
ore, of good quality. This is viewed
as an important point in the
operations,_ and likely to
turn out well for the interests of the adventurers.
At Wheal Penhale, the lode in the 40 fm. level is
much improved, and thel taunter lode
in
th
opening on it north and south, is statedet we
inbzee' sinceworth
from 50/. to 60/. per fin.
From the Merllyn agent's report, which gives a most
favourable account of the operations, it appears that in
the pitch between the whim shaft and the boundary ad-
joining, a great deposit of ore has been taken away,
somewhere about 25 tons. One stone broken was esti-
mated at 1} ton weight; and of the entire mass 15 tons
are in stones from 1 cwt, to 1 cwt., forming such a pile
of stones as has never before been seen in the mine. At
one spot the lode was about 4 ft. wide, without a bit of
waste. This pitch was working on the boundary, but.it
was hoped that good many tons would yet be taken
away within the Merllyn sett.
The directors of the Devonshire Great Consolidated
Copper Mining Company, at their board meeting, held
yesterday, declared a dividend of 71. per share, being
7,165 Z from net profit arising from sales of copper ores
sampled for the months of September and October last.
After payment of this dividend there will remain in
hand a balance of 20,5241. 16s, Id. in cash, ore bills not
PP the general
licable to
at maturity, and reserved fund a
purposes of the company.
At the Wheal Buller meeting,_ _on Tuesday, the ac-
counts showed-Ores sold (less dues), 8,7351. ls. 4d.;
balance from last seemnt 9601. 75.=4,695/. Bs. 4d. Two
months' cost, 7811. 125.; merchants' bills, 253/. 2s. : di-
vidend of 201. per 1-128th share. 2,5601.: leaving ba-
lance in hand of 1.1001 14s. 4d. The report stated that
upwards of 1,000 ions of ore were discovered during the
two months' workings, more than taken away.
T ...iine Treviskey bi-monthly accounts show-mne cost
for October and November,
ore, 3321. 55.795/. 155. 3d.; tribute of
7d.; merchants' bills, 3341. 4s. 11(1., Tre-
savean water-charge, 229/. 7s. 9d..=1671. 13s. 6d. By
ore sold in Sept. (less lords' dues), 3,442/. 10s. 3d.;
leaving a profit of 1,771/. 16s. 9d.; to which add balance
last account, 41/. 85. 51=1,813/. sr. 2d. A dividend of
1,5/. per share (1,8001.) was declared, leaving balance in
toted, 131. ss. 2d. On Wednesday, 485 tons of ore were
kampled, and the same quantity, it is expected, will be
*Pained daring the next two months.
The Warleggan Consols accounts show-Mine cost for
Sept., Oct., and Nov., 185/. 118. 5d.; materials and other
expenses, 92/. 4s. 5d.; disbursements in London, 52/.
1%0.'61-Balance last account, 51s. Ils. 7d.; cash re-
ceived on call, 3831. 55.; sale of tin ore, 25/. 125.,=--469/.
81. 7d.; leaving a balance in hand, 129/. 18s. 3d. The
accounts were passed, and the report read to the meet-

ing stated that another parcel of tin would soon be ready
for sale. The report of operations, which have been
chiefly confined to the southern part of the sett, was
deemed highly encouraging. The balance in favour of
the company has been augmented since the accounts
were made up, by payments to the amount of 701. 12s.
6d. The directors, we perceive, decline all compensa-
tion for their services until the returns are sufficient to
pay dividends.
At a meeting of the Sidney Godolphin adventurers,
the accounts presented showed :-Costs to the end of last
June, i 931. 17s. lld ; for the five months ending in No-
vember, 6261. 18s. 4d. ; merchants' bills, including 3001.
on account of engine, 868/. 18s. 7d.=2,190/. 14e. 10d.
The amount of call in May last, left unpaid 16/. was
I,OOBL, leaving a balance against the mine of 1,18.21.
14s. 10d. A call of 1/. 10s. per share was made to meet
the balance and defray the future expenditure of opera-
tions. The report stated that the engine is now at work,
and the shaft sunk 12 fms. below the edit. The Orchard
lode eastward produced good stones of copper ore, and
the eastern end of Vivian's lode is now stated to be worth
10/. per fm. for tin and copper.
A report on the Leeds and St. Aubyn Consols was
read at the meeting of Sidney Godolphin adventurers,
explanatory of the present state of the mine, and the
prospects held out in the contemplated working of the
sett, when it was resolved that shares should be offered
to the latter, in proportion to their interest, on payment
of 10s. each, for working the mine.
At the Wheal Blencowe meeting, the accounts were as
follows:-Balance on last account, 651. 12s. 11d.; mine
cost for the four months ending Nov., 1541. 7s. ld.; mer-
chants' and other bills, 22/. 15s. 3d. = 2491. 15s. 3d,-
By tin sold, three parcels, 49/. 83. ld.; amount received
on calls, 64L 4s. 6d.-leaving balance due to purser,
1361. 2a. Bd., to meet which a call of 153. a share was
made. The agent's report states, that the two southern-
most lodes, east and west, had been cut, one of which
was very promising, and had yielded fine stones of tin,
with every prospect of being productive. A cross-cut is
also being driven, to intersect the east and west lodes.
At the meeting of Wheal Vincent adventurers, the
report on the mine was read, and considered very satis-
factory. Some discussion took place relative to " Tre-
vint Marsh" sett, and the secretary was instructed to
offer Mr. Northam, the owner, twelve shares in the mine
and 701. in cash, or 25 shares in full of all demands, and
the expenses of the lease. It was resolved, that 90
forfeited shares should be added to the umber of shares,
restoring the number to 1,000. The cost-sheet for
November was 118/. 1 ls. 3d., and the payments were
made amounting to 154/. 15s. 10d. The balance now at
the bankers, all arrears of calls being paid, is 1761.85. 7d.
At the Berriow Consols meeting, a call of 1/. per share
was made; and it was also determined to commence sink-
ing the shaft on the main lode forthwith, and to continuo
driving on Budge's lode, to ascertain the best place for
sinking a shaft. The agent's report states that small
bunches of good quality ore had been found in cleariug
the edit on Badge's lode, and there are other lodes near,
which can be tried at small expense by a cross-cut.
At the Bridford Consols meeting, the report of the
agent stated that the great lode in the mine, consisting
wholly of barytes, had been cut through, and found to he
at least 40 ft. wide. Operations have been commenced at
the western side, with a view to ascertain the best place
for an engine-shaft. The &erecter cf the great lade is
stated to resemble exactly that in Wheal Adams, and
would, it is anticipated, be equally productive. The
gossans from the lode have beau found to yield lloz. of
silver per ton. The costs for the last three months
(381. 6s. 5d.) were allowed, and the purser was authorised
to procure a good steam-engine, when an opportunity
offered of making an advantageous purchase.
At the Wheal Arthur special meeting, on Friday, it
was recommended, in consequence of the prospereus
state of the mine, that no more shares should be dis-
posed of; but that a call should be made on the share-
holders. The following resolution were then passed:-
That the Wheal Arthur be now divided into 1,225
shares, instead of 2,048 as heretofore; and that the list
of shareholders produced at the meeting he the share-
holders to this date. That a call of 53. per share be
made, one-half to be paid on the 7th February, and the
remainder on the 21st February. The report read at
the meeting was highly favourable as regards the pro-
spects of the mine, which, according to the opinion ex-
pressed by the agent, is one of the best speculations in
Cornwall or Devon.
The agent's report to the Mineral Court meeting
states that the engine-shaft is sunk to the 40 fm. level,
and the lode cut through, which is considered to be
worth from 151. to 20/. per fathom. A new whim has
been erected, and other operations are in progress for
developing the resources of the mine. The accounts
show-Balance last account, 1,565/. 19s. 6d.-Mine cost
for October, 445/. 18a. 7d., ditto for November, including
balance of purchase money, 6801. 7s. 6d.a-a2,6921 ss. 7d.
-By cash on call, 41. per share, less arrears, 918/. ;
arrears received, 621. 10s.; water-wheel sold, 17/. 103.;
tin sold (less dues, 42/. 18s. 10d.), 7301. ls.-----1,7581. ls.;
leaving a balance against the mine, 934/. 4s. 7d. The
mine is stated to have never presented a better appear-
ance, and fall confidence is expressed in the success of
the undertaking.
At the West Downs Consols meeting, the accounts to
the end of Dec. were passed, subject to the absent
vouchers being produced at the next meeting, and a call
of 10s. per share was made. On account of the large
number of shares in arrear, the purser was authorised to
take measures to have the affairs of the company ad-
ministered by a Master in Chancery, unless the arrears,
together with the call then made, be paid within four-
teen days. It was also agreed to indemnify the purser,
Mr. Robins, and Captain Carpenter, the agent, against
the costs of an action cernmenecd by the East Crowndale
Company, for an alleged illegal distress for rent. It was

_
J - -
lastly resolved to commence an action for compensation,
on account of damage sustained by the forcible removal
of property, and other injuries committed, under the
direction of the East Crowndalc Company, counsel's
opinion being first taken on the subject.
At the South Josiah meeting, on Monday, the accounts
for the last two months showed—Balance last account,
1001. 4s. Bd.—By costs, Oct. and Nov. 58L 24. ld.; leav-
ing balance in hand, supposing all calls paid, of 42/. 2s.
7d.; against which there were liabilities, 75/. Bs. Bd.,
leaving 33/. 6s. Id. to be provided for. It was agreed to
prosecute the level on the course cf the lode, and to rise
on its back, so as to ascertain the size of the orcy part.
A call of I.os. per share was made. The report stated
that a favourable change had taken place in the lode,
which was two feet wide, producing good stones of ore.
At the West Lead Mines meeting, the accounts
showed—Mine cost from the commencement, in Septem-
ber, 1071. 103. By cash received on calls, 84/. 109.•'
loan, 331. = 1174 103.; leaving a balance in hand of 101.
The estimated liabilities, inclusive of cost for January
and February, are 309/. 16s. 2d., and the assets 183/.
A call of ss. per share was made. The agent's report
stated that at No. 3 shaft three fathoms had been sunk,
and the vein driven upon to the extent cf 25 fathoms.
Nothing, says the report, can look more promising and
encouraging than this vein, in which some beautiful
lumps of ore are often met with, forming almost, at
times, a solid rib of four inches in width.

At the last meeting of Crane and Bejawsa adventurers,
a call was made of il. per share, to meet the balance of
846/. then declared against the mine.
At tho East Godolphin meeting, the accounts for the
last six months were submitted, showing—Mine coat
and merchants' bills for that period, 9801. 186. 6d.;
balance last account, 1351. 17s. Bd.—leaving balance
against the mine, 8451. Os. 10d. A call, for 41. per share
was made, which will produce 1,0241. The agent's re-
port stated that the progress of the workings had
been greatly impeded by a hard channel of ground in
the engine-shaft, but this being now passed, it was be-
lieved that the chief difficulties wero surmounted, and
that the next report will be the most favourable yet
issued. About 50 tons of ore are ready for sampling.
At Wheal Venton two-monthly general meeting, on
Thursday the accounts for November and December,
showing balance in hand of 486/. 18s. 2d., and a state-
ment of assets and liabilities, showing balance of liabi-
lities over assets of 361. 96. 11d., were submitted and
passed. Captain Osborn's salary was raised from six to
eight guineas per month, 'and the present prospects of
the mine were considered highly flattering.
At the East Wheal Reeth meeting, ou Wednesday
week, it was resolved to erect a steam-engine; and on
Wednesday a tender was submitted to the committee,
which they will take into consideration on Wednesday
next.

At the Bryn-Arian meeting the accounts showed a
balance in favour of adventurers, 68/. 9s. The mine cost
for Oct. was 2031. 45.; for Nov., 2791. 18a. 93. By ba-
lance at last account, 3391. 15s. 9d.; sale of 20 tons of
ore, less discount, 2111. 165.; leaving balance as stated.
A call of ss. per share was made, to meet the cost of fu-
ture operations at the mine.
Our Share List shows no tendency to a falling off in
the number of transactions, nor, we believe, in the real
amount of business done. For Mill Pool and West
Frances there has been a considerable demand; and, in-
dependent of the well-maintained quotations of dividend-
paying mines, it will be evident that smaller speculations
of a promising character have attracted a full share of
attention.

In Foreign shares but few quotations have been
marked during the week. United Mexican have been
done at 5/. to 511.; and National Brazilian at a slight
decline on previous prices. Shares in Worthing (South
Australia) have been sold at 21, per share.
