Tieue mines are 11 in number, as shown by the a . .

The leases are for 14 years, at a rental of 10s. per acre per an-

with'r ght of renewal for other 14 years, upon pay-

`tines, Win Pi ke. the discoverer of the Great Northern
saes, has recently examined the various lodes, and, assisted
, bax men, he sunk shafts of from 4. to 12 fathoms deep upon
several of them, in order to test their extent and richness. In
tease operations 130 tons of ore have been raised;
