MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The mining share market has not been so brisk this
week as we have had it for some time past, although
several shares in our leiding mines have changed hands.
The advices received from the great mining districts
of Cornwall and Devon are generallyo f a gratifying
character—the mines, on the whole, looking remarkably
well.
There are several new adventures, which have recently
been brought before the public, which appear to com-
mand some attention from the parties who have not be-
fore been much engaged in mining matters; and, from
the highly-coloured reports produced, we fear are apt to
captivate the inexperienced. We would
opinion on their assumed merits, but not venture an
but recommend the
public generally to be satisfied of the correctness of the
representations made before they become involved.
