MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The Mining Journal furnishes the annexed infor-
mation relative to English mining adventure :
" The actual amount of business has been limited
during the week, although many inquiries have been
made for shares in particular mines, among which are
Bedford United, East and South Tamar, AlfredC on-
sols, and Devon Great Consols. Copper continues firm
at the quotations, lead is in fair demand, tin without
alteration, but little doing, and in tin plates there is a
fair business. The following dividends have been de-
clared during the past month:—Wheal Basset, 101. per
share; North Pool. 151.; North Basset, 4; Wheal Seton,
Si.; Levant, W.; Focvey Consols, 14; South Tolgus, 2;
W heal Tremayne, i; Stray-park, i; Bryntail (Welsh),
4. Ten per cent. has also been paid by the Union Tin
Smelting Company. At the North Pool meeting the
accounts for July and August were submitted, showing
a dividend of 151. per share; balance in favour of ad-
venturers of 7941. At the North Basset quarterly
meeting the accounts were presented, showing a balance
in favour of adventurers of 1,1311. The statement of.
accounts: presented at the two. monthly meeting of
West Caradon adventurers showed a balance in favour
of adventurers to the end of September, 198/. No divi-
dend was declared. At the East Buller two-monthly
meeting the accounts showed a balance against the mine
of WI. A call of 10s. per share was made. At the
West Wheal Towan meeting the accounts showed a
total expenditure of 4,3001., and a balance against the
adventurers of 8001. A call of 21. per share was made
for the prosecution of the works of trial. At the West
Wheal Providence meeting the accounts showed a ba-
lance against the mine of 550/. A call of 1/. per share
was made. At the West Nant-y-Mwyn meeting a call
of ls. per share was made. The adventure was divided
into 1.020 shares, and is to be carried on on the cost-
book principle. At the Old Brimpts meeting it was
shown that the outlay had not exceeded 300/. in exploring
the ancient workings and driving the shallow adit to in-
tersect the south lode, which, since it was discovered, has
been productive of tin ore ♦alued at about 250/. The
Craddock Moor accounts for July and August showed a
balance in favour of the adventurers of 981. The Gona-
mena accounts for July and August showed a balance in
favour of adventurers of 961. At the Bodmin Consols two
monthly meetings, held at the offices onWednesday, a re-
port was presented, The usual accounts were passed !bow-
ing a balance in favour of the company. At the Mineral
Court meeting a call of 41 per share was made to meet
the loss caused by the erection of machinery and appara-
tus for dressing the tin. By the report presented at the
East Wheal Leisure meeting, it appears that the ex-
pense of the works, including the purchase of engine
and machinery, since the commencement of the opera-
tions in June last, is less than 1,0001. A call of 11. per
share, to provide for the future working, is to be forth-
with made. The Heignston Down Consols meeting
showed a balance in hand of 4321. At the Wheal Lang-
maid meeting the accounts showed a balance in favour
of the company of 53/. Another meeting is to be held
near the mine in about a month, to determine as to future
working, and what machinery shall be applied. The
Runnaford Coombe meeting showed a balance in favour
of the adventurers of 181. The sales of tin had reached

1,259/.; receivcd on calls, 3,89-11.; mine cost, 5,050/. A
further adjournment of Camborne Consols took place, it
being understood, however, that the shareholders would
be speedily urged to consider the steps moat expedient
to be taken. A private meeting of the governor and
directors of the Company of Copper Miners in England
will bo held on Wedne3day, the 6th ii.st., in order to
adopt such arrangements as Rill lead to a final and satis-
tac:ory agreement with the Bank of England."
With regard to foreign mining adventure the fol-
lowing paragraph contains the chief points of in-
terest :

" In fort ign mines there have been transactions in
Santiago, United Mexican, St. John del Rey, and Aus-
tralian; but the amount of business has not been consi-
derable, nor have the quotations materially varied. The
Royal Santiago Company have received advices, dated
Cobre, Sept. 16, in which it is stated that the efforts to
develops Thompson's shaft had not been so successful as
was expected. The lode is from seven to eight feet wide,
producing five tons of ore per fathom. East from shaft
the lode is six to seven feet wide, yielding six tons per
fathom. The scopes between the eight fathom and ten
fathom levels are the same as previously reported, with
the same quantity of ore. The stratum in the cross-cut
south, in the adit level, is stated to be disordered, the
water flowing freely from the middle part of the level,
as before. In Taylor's shaft there is no alteration, nor
are any changes of importance in other portions of the
mine mentioned in the report. The report from the
Linares mines, dated 19th October, confirms the im-
provement in the general prospects of the mine. A large
piece of lode standing west, of excellent quality, about
five fathoms long, is reported, and the operations for
draining were progressing. The water had prevented
any further examination eastward of La Manca; but it
was expected that a full report on the mine under the
45 would be able to be given next week. The tribute
pitches continue productive, but less ore was expected to
be raised this month on aceeunt of the delay in resum-
ing Wilson's shaft. The ore in stock at Linares on the
12th of October was 124 tons 2 cwts.; weighed in, Oct.
19,11 tons 17 cwts.; sent for shipm(nt, 14 tons 16 cwts.
—leaving at Linares 121 tons 3 cwts.; at 'Seville, 60 tons
3 awls.; at Malaga, 101 tons; total in Spain, 282 tons 6
cwts.; on board ship, 121 tons 5 cwts., making the total
of ore in stock 403 tons 11 cwta. At a meeting of the
board of directors of the United Mexican Mining Asso-
ciation, held yesterday. it was determined that if the
next advices (expected early in the ensuing week) should
prove equally favourable with the last, a dividend should
be immedia•.ely declared, without waiting until January
next, as was contemplated."
