MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The Mining Journal gives the following notice re-
specting the state of the market :--
" Much activity has existed i n the mining share
market during the week, though it does not appear that
more than an average amount of be fide business has
been transacted. Inquiries have been numerous, but
holders remain firm; while, in some ,casss, a considerable
advance in price has taken place. Among those in re-
quest, we may name Comfort, Sout h Basset, Mary Ann,
Treviskey and Barrier, Trethe Ilan, North Buller,
Treleigh, &c.
"In Foreign Mines there has bet in an improvement in
United Mexican, which have char,ed ha,ids at an ad-
vance. Copiapo, St. John del Rey, Oubre, Linares, aad
Santiago have also been done."
As regards the present state and prospects of
various mining adventures, the sa one journal states as
follows :

" At North Culler, the Louisa lo de is very much im-
proved, and the prospects are co naidered of a highly
enc,,uraging character.
" Mary Ann, Cook's Kitchen., Holmbush, South
Basset, and Alfred Consols are a mong the improving
mines reported this week.
" A parcel of 30 tons of lead ore was sold from Llwyn-
melees Mine, on the Bth, at 12/. 55.. 61 per ton.
" The monthly sale of ore from a the Kirkcudbright-
shire Mines was 40 tons, which realised 91. Bs. per ton.
" The North Buller agent repor ts, from present pros-
pects, there is every reason to an ,ticipate a productive
and standing mine at a deeper level.
" Birch Tor and Vitifer Mines appear to have con-
siderably improved within the last month, and the pros-
pects are good.
"It is arranged that the An d'srton Mine shall be
worked in conjunction with the Ta vistock Consols, as the
United Mines (Tavistock); and t hat the Rix-hill lode,
on which a great improvement has, taken place, shall be
intersected by a cross-cut from the, Anderton shaft at an
80 fm. level, being upwards of 50 Alias. under the deepest
point at which the Rix-hill lode he w been seen. Also a
cross-cut south, to cut another stroug lode in the same
level; and the 180 fm. level east axtended through the
cross-course, to cut the two lodes -tri the Tavistock Con-
sols, which are most highly spok,3B of by all practical
miners in the locality. This appe tars to be one of the
most important speculations in the district, and the
amalgamation of the two undertakings affords the means
of proving five most promising lodes at from 80 to 100
fens., at a trifling expense.
" The Guadalcanal report of tlao committee recom-
mend an issue of 3,000 new shares at 21. each, for the
purpose of giving trial to the operations suggested by
Captain Rule, who had inspected t he mine.
" At the Deep River Company's meeting a resolution
was passed for dissolving the company. The amount in
hand will allow of about 14s. per share being returned to
such shareholders as have paid up..
" At the Santiago meeting, the report stated the ore
raised during the last half-year was 712 tons, 557 of
which had been sold, realising 5,1 09/. 10s. 2d.; the re-
mainder was estimated at 8471.; m.a king the total return
6,1201. 191. ld., showing a loss on the half-year of
1,777/. 17s. 3d. This increase of expenditure was occa-
sioned by opening adits and other works in the new per-
tenencias, on which the main success of the company
would depend, as the old mines had become so poor as
to be suspended.
Dispatches have been received by the Imperial Bra-
zilian, St. John del Rey, and Natk.nal Brazilian Mining
Companies.
" The Imperial Brazilian gold report is to the 22d of
April, giving the amount of produce from Gongo Soco,
from 34 to 22d of April, 21bs. 9 ozs. 6 dwts.; Bahanal
ditto, 201bs. 0 oz. 12 dwts. =_- 221bs. 9 OZ3. 18 dwts.

" The St. John del Rey letters are to the 27th April,
furnishing the returns for the month of March, by which
we learn that a profit of 4,3091. Ile. Id. has been made
—the produce being 24,126 oits. The gold extracted to
the 27th April, 15,300 oits.—being 21 days' stamping,
and the stone continued abundant.
" The National Brazilian advisee are to the 4th of
May—the produce being from Cocaes, from 4th April
to 4th Mary, mks. 20 7 1 39; Cuiabs, from 28th March
to 27th April, mks. 5 7 6 46= 26 7 0 13. The prospects
are considerably more encouraging.
" The Linares report to the 29th of June continues
very favourable, and the quantity of ore raked in June
i• expected to exceed that of May, which was 67 tons.
The total quantity now at the mine, and at Seville,ready
for shipment, is 171 tons, of which from 83 to 84 tons
were dressed in June. The John and William had been
chartered at 63. per ton, freight to England, and 100
tons are expected to be ready.
" The Alten report has been received, furnishing the
progress of operations from 4th to 24th June. In the
Raipas Mine the water bed receded, and they were pre-
paring to set contracts in the most important part of the
mine. The old mine continues without any important
alteration. The lode in the new sink at Michell's is pro-
ducing some good work."
