At the meeting to-day of the Scottish Australian
Mining Company, Limited, the directors submitted
to the shareholders their report and accounts of the
operation of the company in Australia and London
for the six months ending on the 30th June last.
The Lambton property, which is situate directly
west from Newcastle, at the distance of four and
a half miles, consists of 1840 acres of freehold land,
and 280 acres of leasehold land, together 2,120 acres.
Throughout the first half of the present year
the coal trade of New South Wales has
"en well maintained, and the quantity of coal pro-
duced and disposed of by the company during that
Period cannot fail to be regarded by the proprietary
as very satisfactory. The quantity of coal raised and
sold from Lambton Colliery during the six months
ending at the 30th of June, 1867, was 85,150 tons,
all against 72,219 tons in the corresponding period
of 1866. The price obtained by this company and
the other principal colliery owners in the colony, in
all sales and contracts effected between the Ist of
January and the 30th of June last, has been
9,!* 3d. per ton of large coal put on board
Snip at the port of Newcastle ; but inasmuch
as some heavy contracts at the rate of Bs. 3d. per
tea had been entered into shortly before the price
Was raised, to the extent of ls. per ton, at the end
of last year, that lower rate (Bs. 3d.) is the price
Which has been realised for a very considerable por-
tion of the quantity shipped during the period now
under review. The net profit from the colliery
for the half year at present to be reported on
cottager
£ll3 4s. 10d. received for rent of
on the Lambton property, &c.), after
Writing off the sum of £1,589 63. 41. to meet
Wear and tear, depreciation, Sic., was £7,637 2s. 31.
The profit realised in the six months afford a divi-
dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and it
would be very agreeable to the directors to feel
that they wero fully warranted in proposing that
such a dividend should be paid. They think it on the
Whole best, however, to adhere to the same rate of
dividend as was paid on the last occasion. Their
Principal reasons for this course are--firstly, the
Present position of tie Cadia copper mines. It
ref on the whole probable that there will be a
434 in connection with this company's interest in
C. C. C. Mining Company, and in this antici-
taticn, the directors, as will be observed below,
have deemed it advisable to commence to replace,
from
Profits realised, some portion of the outlay
connected with this investment. Secondly, the
state of matter as regards the price of coal ; which
is
thnot quite so satisfactory as might be wished.
h 0 revenue account of the company, for
the six months ending at the 31st of December last,
dl!elv es a balance of £7,051 19s. 4d. This profit the
'l4- tors propose to dispose of by paying a dividend
at e r
eona th rate of 7i per cent. per annum, free of in-
No,;,tax, on the capital of the company, £120,000,
will require £4,575; reducing the amount

THE PILCHARD FISHERY.—There are four seines
shot at Mullion. About COO hogsheads have been brought
to Newlyn from these seines to be cured. This is quite a
godsend to the place, as many families is both Newlyn and
Mousholo aro in very reduced circumstances from the bad
fishing season. The fish are being bulked as they come in
and consequently a good many persons are employed for
the time.
