MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal )
The business of the week in mines of all descriptions has
been on a limited scale, but without perceptible diminution
of the amount of inquiry for them. We look forward to a
changing state of things, as regards the capital offering for
investment, in consequence of the large sums which have
been paid on either worthless or speculative projects in pre-
miums alone, to the manifest detriment of investments of
solid character, either dividend or other that-rate mines.
The accounts from both Devon and Cornwall are, in several
instances, highly gratify ng- sudden improvements having
taken place in the lodes, and greatly enhanced prices paid or
demanded for the shares in consequence. Although it ap-
pears still difficult for the uninitiated to resist the fascina-
tions of a flattering prospectus, we consider it our duty to
repeat the warning, of caution we have so frequently ven-
tured upon, and particularly where the unsound proposition
is made of large paid-up capital.
In the Metal-market Copper is firm, awl moves off steadily.
Lead is in good demand. English Tin is very quiet, and not
a single transaction is reported in foreign; prices quite nomi-
nal. Tin-plates are again lower; but there is a tolerable de-
mand. Spelter has been sold to the extent of 300 tons; the
stock on the Nth of April was 11,017 tons. Yellow Metal
Sheathing in fair request.
Bar Silver declined yesterday Aid. per oz., which, with
the anticipated reduction: in the price of Quicksilver so talked
of, has created in the minds of a few an ungrounded
alarm as to the effect it will have upon our river-lead
mines. We entertain no such fears; the trifling reduction
made will scarcely be felt by one of our home mines, and the
more prosperous of them are not to be intimidated by the
visionary riches in prospective from &bread.

January and February showed-Balance from last account,
