At the Wheal Vincent meeting it was resolved that s(?•ft4.-
call of 2s. 6d. per share should b.: made, and steps taken
to obtain the payment of calls in arrest.. Mr. Murray ~•
gave a very favourable account or the capabilities of the
mine, and stated that two tons of tin ore could be raised
frotn the new shaft per month, with a good profit to the
adventurers.
At Wheal Trefusis meeting, the accounts presented
and passed showed a balance against the adventurers of
1101. 17e. 2d.; the debits, inclusive of the balanoe against
the mine at the end of August, merchants' bills, &c.,
were 6921. 4s. 10d. The sum collected on last call was
504/.; tinstuff sold, 771. 7s. 81-leaving the balance as
etated. A call of 10s. per share was made. The report
on the mine was of a satisfactory character.
At the meeting of the Ithoswydol and liaeldeddon ad-
venturers the accounts showed-Mine cost for October,
149/. Bs. Bd.; Nov. 152/. 7s. 6d.; balance due on previous
account, 475/. 10s. Bd.-7 7 71. Gs. I od.-Ca,h received on
last call, 210/. 65.; ores sold, 1261. 15s. lod.-leaving
balance, 4404 55.; which will be reduced by proceeds
from lead just sold 771. 165., and arrears on calls
1431. 175., to 218/. 12s. A call of 9s, per share was
made. The report from Captain Edward Davies, after
detailing the operations in progress at the mine, stated
that " the composition of the lode in Pro.i•ser's level has
entirely changed during the past two month. The lust
cross-cut in the end et the level has intersected the com-
mencement of a course of orey ground ; the lode is 10 ft.
wide, from north to south walls, and is subdivided by two
branches or joints, which corm the lode into three divi-
sions ; the central division is 5 feet wide, composed of
cape], quartz, blende, and lead ore, the blende being iu
large solid masfes, unit the had from minute strings and
spurs up to lumps nearly 3 lbs. weight. Oa the
north side of the middle portion of the lode there is a
great ' loch,' or vugh, filled with a gossatmy matter,
chiefly oxide of iron, each side of this loch having an
incrustation of crystallised quartz. Evidently some
mighty process is, or has been, going on in this one of
nature's laboratories, and it is hoped that it will prove
to be the mineralisation of the lode." At the end of
October they shipped 6 tons 13 cwt. of lead, per the
Sluice, and have now about 5 tons dressed. If the
weather continue open, they will dress from 8 to 10 tone
this month. The cost for December will be from 1201.
to 1301., and which, it is expected, there will be sufficient
lead dressed to meet.

At the Dyfngwm Mining Company's meeting, on
Wednesday, the report of the resident captain, with a
supplemental statement, and the accounts, were read.
The present account showed receipts and expenditure
for the past four months, the agent having neglected
to forward the accounts in due time for the pre-
vious meeting. From those then submitted, it appeared
that, during the past tour months, the ores sold amounted
to 1181. 4s. 9d.; in addition to which, the amount re-
ceived for calls was 6634 7s.=---731/. I ls. 9d.; while the
cost for the months ending Nov. amounted to 714/. 3a..
Sd., and sundry payments, 231. I Is. 10d.; in all 7371.
15s. 6d., which, added to e balance due on the former
account of 239/. 12s. Id., gave a total of 9771. 7s. 7d.,
thus leaving a ba'ance of 195/. 15s. 10d., carried forward
against the mine. The amount of calls in arrear was
stated to be 31/. 165., and the assumed return from sale
of ore, not included in the account, 634
At the Trelusback meeting, the accounts for Sept. and
Oct. showed—Balance from last account, 1,0571. Os. Bd.;
costs and merchants' bills, 539/. 18s. 7d.-1,5961. 19s.
3d. By call in October, 1,0244, leaving balance against
the adventurers, 5724 19s. 3d.

At Pendarves Consols meeting, the accounts showed
a balance against adventurers of 312/. 3.. 7d., on the
operations of the preceding three months. The cost up
to the end of Sept., including merchants' bills due, was
793/. 16s. 10d.; to which add balance at last account,
7531. 7s. Gd.—By cash on calls and ores sold,
1,235/. 03.9 d.; leaving balance as stated, in liquidation of
which a call of 10s. per share was made. The report of
Messrs. Richards and Thomas, read at the meeting, con-
tains no feature of peculiar interest.
At the South Tamar Consols two-monthly meeting,
the account showed—Mine cost for Septembev,
6361. 7s. Ild. ; October, 6341. 15s. 9d.; discount, 5/. 15s. Bd..
=1,2761. 19s. 4d.. By amount received in cash, and bill
for ores sold, inclusive of balance of last account,
2,2621. 15s. Bd.; leaving balance in favour of mine,
9851. 16s. 4d. The balance of assets over

liabilities is 1,4561. 13s. ld. The estimated payments
before the next meeting are 1,4791.35. 3d.; and the value
of ores to be sold this month is calculated at 1,3001.
The accounts were passed. Two reports, from the ma-
naging agent, were read, stating that there is a great
improvement in the 30 fm. level—the lode in the bottom
being worth 20 to 25 cwts. of rich ore for silver. About
90 tons of ore will be supplied shortly.
At the East Tamar meeting, the statement of accounts
showed—Expenditure for the last two months, 1,175/.
17s. 9d.; by balance of last account, 4831. Bs. Id.; cash
on account of call. 666/. 10s.—leaving balance against
adventurers, 55/. 19s. Bd. The estimated liabilities, in-
cluding payments fur the nest two months, amount to
1,467/. 18s. 4d.; while the estimated receipts during that
period are 2,984 19s. I Id.; leaving balance of assets
over liabilities, 1,5171. Is. 7d. Reports from Mr. J.
%Volferstan were read to the meeting, in which a gradual
improvement of the lode at the 70 fathom level is no-

tired; the other ends, and all the pitches being as pro-
ductive as before, while there is a prospect of an in-
ereasd quantity of ore, estimated at 70 tans, for the next
sampling.

- -
The report read at the first West Providence meeting
from the purser states that the steam-engine and pump-
ing machinery are in course of construction. It is ex-
pected that a quantity of silver•lead ore can be brought
to surface when the water has been forked, and the indi-
cation; generally are highly favourable for the prospect'
of the shareholders.

The accounts presented at the Gustavus meeting.
showed a loss on the three months' operations to end of
September of 1,272/. 1.55. 8,1. The labour cost end mer-
chants' bills wero 1,3801. 15s. 3d.; balance of last ac-
count, 407/. Os. 5d.---=1,7871. 15s. Bd. By cash on call,
with materials sold, 5151.: leaving balance as above. It
was resolved that a call be made pro rate in liquidation
of the amount. In the report of Messrs. Richards and
Dunkin the heavy balance against the adventurers is
accounted for by the cost incurred in repairs of engine
and other necessary expenses, which for the next twelve
months will, it is estimated, be comparotively light. In
other respects the report is ss,tisfactory.
At Trowan Consols meeting, the accounts for July,
Aug., and Sept. showed—Ey ores sold (less dues), 3901.
12s. 5d.; call in Aug. 751. Ws. = 4661. 2s. sd. Balance
from last account, 84/. 93. 6d.; costs and merchants'
bills, 375/. 3s. 7d. = 4591. 13s. Id.; leaving balance,
61. 9s. 4d.
At Chyprase Consols meeting, a series of resolution
was agreed to relative to the management of the mine,
of which Capt. J. Mitchell wu.s appointed agont—a com-
mittee was also chosen. The report detailed the work-
ings since the commencement, stating that thss enginr
shaft is now down 20 feet, and the sinking is still in
progress, measures being in preparation for drahaing the
mine. Capt. Mitchell states that "a more pro ductiv!
stratum of ground for mineral wealth he never met with,"
and sanguine expectations of success are enter:
when the lodes are cut in the 20 fm. level. A p urser
and trustees were likewise appointed.
