MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The Mining Journal furnishes the following ac-
count of the r.ate of several British mines :

"At Alfrel Consols, the lode in the 60 and 70
ends have much improved. Last Tuesday 225 tons
of copper ore were sampled for the four weeks' raising.
" Wellington Mines have much improved in the
shaft and in the recent discovery on No. 1 lode ; 220
tons of copper ore was sampled on Tuesday for the
two montb, being 75 tuns above the previous sale.
"St. Aubyn and Grylls is improved, and a new tin
lode discovered, productive.

"At Whsal Russell the lode in the shaft still pro-
duces good stones of ore; about 40 tons, it is expected,
will be sampled in a short time.
" At Wheal Franco the improvement in the eastern
part of the mine, in the 32 fin. level, holds good, and
the end produces from three to four tons per fin. of
ore of greatly improved quality.
" At Warleggan Consols a very fine shoot of tin has
been discovered in driving klevel 10 fins. from surface.
" Biston Consols progresses favourably ; good stones
of lead have been met with.

"At Pbceniz the shaft is down to the 130, in a
good course of ore; the 120 and 110 ftn. levels are
also in rich ore.

" At South Caradon, Vivian's lode is much im-
proved, and the mine in other parts generally look-
ing better.
" At liarke Valley, in the 60 east, the lode is 12 ft.
wide.

" The report from Bat Holes states that the new
discovery is promising, the end being worth 2 tons
of lead ore per fathom—ground softer ; the winza is
worth 181. per fathom. The lode at the 20 will pay
for taking away, at 10s. tribute. There are at 20
tons of ore at surface, and the engine will go to work
in about three weeks.

'6 From the Welsh Mines we learn that at Daren
the most favourable accounts have been received.
Ten tons of ore were prepared for the market during
the week, and twenty tons more are expected to be
ready in a fortnight. The machinery works well,
and the different levels are rich in ore. At Bryntail
the ore ground begins to lengthen and improve. One
stone of ore broken in the last week weighs over
ton, nearly solid lead. At Goginan the lode in the
120 fm. level, west of Francis's shaft, is 5 feet wide,
now yielding 1 ton of ore per fro. The lode 7 ims.
below the 110, and 30 fins. west of Francis's shaft,
is 7 f:. ride, yielding 1- ton of ore per fathom. The
stopes are yielding fair quantities of ore. At Level-

WATER IN EDINBUBGU.—Looking to the circum-
stances of so many towns in regard to this absolute and
essential necessary of existence—to the ease with which, ap-
parently, cheap and good water can be brought into any
town—to the vast expense usually incurred in imperfectly
accomplishing the object—to the water carts and high prices
of Dundee—to the Mossy Well of Arbroath—the Hill of
Hedderwick at Montrose—the yellow mixture, mistaken for
pure water, in Edinburgh—to the diseases, cruel and mani-
fold, incurred iby the use of bad water—to the encourage-
ment of filth and indolence from a short supply—to all the
inconsistencies that prevail, and all the extravagancies com-
mitted on the subject—might not the Legislature empower a
perambulating commission of two or three scientific men to
find out how and where water could be procured, enable the
Court of Session on petition to grant the requisite powers for
its collection, and introduce some uniform scheme whereby
the want of water could no longer be a scourge prevalent
everywhere, in a country where, generally speaking, a diffi-
culty exists in the disposal of all the rain that falls? Ancient
heathens esteemed the supply of water essential to the health
of a city. They brought it, at any expense, in superabun-
dance to their population. Could we not retrograde two
thousand years on this matter only P—Daily Mail.
