MINING INTELLIGENCE.

MONDAY EVENING.—Tho market has shown grea
activity to-day, and trausaotions have taken place in
Alfred Consols, Merllyn, Treviskey, Mary Ann, Tre-
velyan, and Penralt.
'rho market for Californian gold shares was quiet,
with little change in quotations, prices b,ing generally
fairly supported. Weet Mariposas were done at on,
time: at par. but left off 3-16 to 1.16 dis.; Agua Frit
ruled at 1 5-16 to 1 7-16 prem.; Nouveau Monde,
a to
prem.; Golden Mountain, 11 to 4- prem.; Ave Maria,
dis. to par; Anglo Californian, to prem.
With the receipt of fuller intelligence from California
relative to the want which is felt of adequate machinery
for the crushing of the quartz, more interest is now fell
in the proposal of some of the companies to use th,
means which will be at their disposal in the prosecutior
of this branch of business alone, should no favour-
able inducements be held out for the commence
meet of actual mining operations. Of the suc-
cess which is to be expected as attendant
upon such a course of operation, we have an illustration
in the arrangement made by Sir Henry Huntley cn as
of the Anglo Californian Company, by which he
engages to crush the quartz, and receive one-half the
nett produce in return. Apprehensions are felt by some
that with the great increase of mills and machinery re
ported as taking place in the auriferous districts, the
profits from quartz crushing will be much diminished,
owing to the competition thus induced; but the objection
appears entitled to little weight, as even in such an even-
tuality a quarter of the nett yield would afford a lam
dividend; and then, again, the attention of the local
management would doubtless be turned to mining, which
in such a case would become the more profitable pursuit.
One important element of success possessed by the Cali-
fornian companies must not be overlooked: " many fai,
of success" state our advices "from the want of practi-
cal experience in this mode of mining;" this being
pursuit in which the advantages of capital are most sen-
sibly felt.
The Anglo Californian Gold Mining Company
•have
given the usual notice iu the London Gazette of their in-
tention to apply in the ensuing session of Parliament fo;
an Act of Incorporation for the company.
Besides the demand arising from the Californian and
Austrian gold mining schemes, the development of the
Australian copper mines has been taken in hand by in-
fluential parties, who have decided upon raising capital
to the extent of 350,0001.
At Goginan Mine the lode in Taylor's shaft below the
130 fathom level is still large, and the part sinking upoi,
is producing 11 ton of ore per fathom. The scopes over
the 120 are producing ton per fathom. In other parts
of the mine they aro looking much as usual. The lode
in the boundary shaft is improving, the part sinking
upon now yielding 1 ton of ore per fathom.
At East Tolgus driving the crosscut south from boun-
dary shaft the end is very wet, with an appearance of
soon cutting a ludo or branch. Tho lode in the adit east
is one foot wide, producing occasional stones of ore. The
new shaft is sunk 7 fathoms from surface. Six or 7 tons
of tin stuff have been spelled, and will be sampled on
Tuesday next. About 9 tons of copper ore will be sam-
pled next week.
At West Wheal Alfred the water is down to 12
fathoms below the adit, and it is expected that the second
lift of pumps will be down early iu the week; the water
will then be rapidly forked.
At Rix Hill the 17-fathom level on new lode is pro-
ducing good stones of tin. 28 on the same lode, good
saving work. The crosscut to the new lode at the 40
islosks well,
especially
favourably. The tribute department
progressing in the 17 in the back of the new
lode.

At East Crowndale the lode in the 58 west is cut
out by a splice, but which now appears to be splicing
again; it is hoped that ere long the lode will again
prove productive. 58 on the north lode is producing
good saving work. The agents expect that in two

men below the 23 at 131. 103. per
fathom, the shaft is now down 26 fathoms.
At Treloweth the 51
cross-cut is in ground easy for
driving. The main lode is expected to be cut in about
two months. The lode in 45 west is improving in e'r.,
with stones of ore; 32 west continues to produce goo 3
stones of ore on the north part of the lode.
At North Boller, Louisa engine shaft has become
much easier in sinking. Two fathoms have been set to
sink at 141. per fathom. At the 40 driving east the lode
is split into three branches, one of which is 9 inches
wide, producing good ore, muudic, &c. Tho lode driving
but unproductive. The lode
in King's shaft is two feet wide,
with a favourable sp-
west is looking promising,
pearance, and contains ore, inundic, peach, and prian.

Clara llAititiNGTori.—A new novel has just ap-
peared under the title of " Clara Harrington," which is likely
to excite considerable attention in fashionable circles. The
hero, who is a nobleman, has entered into a clandestine mar-
riage with an accomplished young actress, though already
wedded to a lady of rank. The embarrassments arising out
of such a posi ion to all parties involved in it, are said to
Produce a deep interest M the reader, and this is much
heightened by the prevailing belief that the characters and
chief features of the story, which are drawn with great clever-
nese, are taken from an incident in the history of a celebrated
family that created considerable notoriety some years ago.—
