PROtiPECTI3O.
The obiect of this Companyis to continue energetic work-
ings on this valuable mineral property, which were suspended
in consequence of the monetary panic and altered circum-
stances of several of the principal shareholders of the old
Devon Kapunda Company, after an expenditure of upwards
of £20,000 in the erection of a plant of most superior machi-
nery, all necessary buildings, and the general development of
the property, all of which are available to the present Com-
pany. The steam engine is of 40-inch cylinder, with 10 feet
Stroke.
Apart from these facts, it is no evidence of demerit that a
mine should cease to be worked by the original adventurers
and, indeed, there are but few that have been commenced and
carried on by the same association of shareholders to a suc-
cessful and profitable issue. The Devon Great Consols, South
Caradon, Phcenix, and most of the leading mines in the two
western counties of Devon and Cornwall have yielded the
returns of profit to others than those who first worked the
respective properties.
This property is most advantageously situate on the banks
of the Tamar, in the parish of South Sydenham, about l mile
north of the celebrated Devon Great Consols Mines, which are
now giving to the shareholders about 1.30,000 annually. It is
in one of the richest and most extensive metalliferous dis-
tricts in the kingdom. Two of the lodes have been wrought
to the depth of 50 fathoms below the adit level, and will form
a junction a few fathoms east of the present workings, where
there is every reasonable prospect of a good deposit of ore
being met with. The lode in the end of the eastern drivings
on the south lode is of an extraordinary character, is a strong
masterly lode, containing copper ore of superior quality, and
shows evidently that the workings are nearing a very im-
Portant deposit. There are three shafts sunk, the engine shaft
that is down to the 34 fathom level below the adit, the whim
shaft 50 fathoms, and the trial shaft 20 fathoms below the
adit.

The
property extends over an era of 130 acres, being about
700 fathoms in length, and about 300 fathoms in breadth.
Many tons of rich silver lead ore have been raised at the
Upper levels, but at the deeper levels the general character
of the lode is changed from lead to copper ore. This altera-
tion in the character of the lode is very important, and cor-
responds exactly with the change in the stratification, thus
affording ample proof that there can be no reasonable doubt
of the success of the undertaking.
Mr. J. H. Hitching has either introduced, or recommended
by reports, most of the mines in the Tavistock district which
have proved remunerative, and the confidence of this gentle-
Man in the Devon Kapunda is shown by his adhesion to the
enterprise.
Captain Joseph Cock, the agent of the mine, reports, under
date of March 23, 1859, that
" The 50 fathom level, which is in course of driving east on
the south lode, appears to be changing for the better. The
ground is moderately easy and favourable. The lode is about
n feet wide, composed chiefly of spar and mundic, intermixed
With good stones of copper ore, a box of which I have for-
warded. Its indications and character are highly encou-
raging. This level has been extended on the course of the
lode for many fathoms, and is now approaching an important
point, that is, the junction of two lodes. According to the
present bearings of these lodes there are probably about 12 to
15 fathoms more to drive before reaching the junction. I
consider there is a fair and reasonable prospect of a good de-
groisviat,of gie being met with at the junction. Throughout the
e
the tiiper lode presents a much better appearance than in
evels. A deeper level will no doubt lead to valuable
veries• There are other parts of the mine of a promising
cnaracter, and there is scarcely any doubt but that it will
prove a profitable and lasting,. mine.'
