• MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Joul sal of this day.)
An unprecedented amount of inquiry, combined with
a largo extent of business, has pervaded the mining
market this week, with a stesdinets and freedom from
merely speculative feeling quite remarkable. Conse-
quently, all dividend-paying concerns are on the ad-
vance, and, in some cases, handsome profits are realis-
able upon transactions scarcely a month old, either from
the good opinion entertained of the particular invest-
ment, or an improvement in its prospects under-
ground—the result, in most cases, of vigorous
working and the power of capital. In the Tavis-
tock district, in particular, new and rich lodes of copper
and lead are being continually developed, and attention
is strongly directed to that quarter which participates
largely in the amount of business doing. Capitalists,
however, should be as much cautioned not to neglect
good progressing concerns, where the lodes have al-
ready been seen, and thPir quality entertained, as to
avoid the merely speculative and worthless ones, which
abound as usual, but whose numbers will daily diminish
under an improved organization for the sale and pur-
chase of mining shares. •
In the Metal. Market, Copper ii sluggish, aid without
alteration. The late advance has been fully maintained
in :Lead, and the market is firm; there is but little
ISpanish left in importers' band. Tin is the turn dearer,
but the demand is very slack; a parcel of certificated in
publics sale sold at 791. 10s. In Banca nothing has been
done. English Tin in bars and blocks are unenquired
for; for refined the demand is good, and a fair business
done. The supply of Tin-plates is very short, and ready
buyers are found for any actually on the spot. Speller
on-the spot is held at 161. 103., but the demand is very
limited; tor arrival in the spring, 161 ss. has been paid
for several hundred tons.

A consignment of 60 tons of South Australian copper,
from the Burra Burra Mine, has been received by
Messrs. Edwards. of Birmingham—the freight from the
mine amounted to about 3/. per ton. This is the first
arrival of copper from the colony in Birmingham, and,
as other supplies are expected, it has occasioned much
speculation on its probable effect on the price of that
metal. The quality is said to be excellent.
•The Tamar Mines have sold 83 tons of silver-lead, at
181. 17s. 6d. per ton.

The first parcel ofcopper ore from East Wheal George,
21 tons 9 cwtE., has been sold at 94 17s. Bd. per ton, re-
alisingnet, 2161. la. 3d.
The sale of silver lead from Wheal Golden was 39
tons, at 131 lls. 6d„ realising 5294 Bs. 6d.
The new 36-inch steam stamping engine at Great
Wheal Baddern is at work, and will, it is expected, re-
turu ten tons of tin this moath.

The report from Lamherooe Wheal Maria announces
this discovery of a courso of ore on the No. 2 lode, which
had been cut into nearly five feet, all good work, without
finding the south wall.
In the Caradon Vale report, the agent calls attention
to a splendid lead course which, when assa3.ed, con-
tained 44 ozs. of silver to the ton, and is worth 14 in 20
for lead. For the ground explored, the improvement
has been unusuolly great: the agent expresses a high
opinion of the property.
A reported improvement in Bodmin Moor Consols has
occasioned an inquiry, after the shares, and we are in-
formed that a number have. changed bands at 'present
quotation.
At the Wheal Trelawny meeting, held at Liskeard on
the 12th instant, the accounts for June, July, and Au-
gust were presented, showing a balance in favour of
mine of 1,1701. 10s. 2d. The balance of last account

which are nearly all paid, the assets exceed the

exceed 390 tons. A resolution was passed to divide the
shares into t0..5,120.
