account. The mine is reported to be looking re-
markably well ; the shares were increased to 256.
T.le Lisburne Mine,,, in Cardigan, under the ma-
nagement of Messrs. J. Taylor and Son, declared, on
Thursday, the 4th inst., a dividend of 1,5001. for the
two months' working, being 151. per share. The
shares are in demand, and the mines in a highly-pro-
ductive position.
At the Cefn-Gwyn meeting, it appeared the costs
from the commencement had been 6281.75. 6d., leav •
ink; a balance against the mine of 1281. 7s. A call of
10i. per share was made.
At the Great Rough Tor Consols meeting the ac-
counts for the past seven months showed a balance of
531/. 1 ls. 6d. against the mine, to discharge which,
and to provide for the estimated expenditure till
October next, a call of 31. 103. per share was made,
when it is fully anticipated that some important im-
provements will have been made. The present pro-
spects are more cheering than they have hitherto been.
The Wellington Mines bi-monthly account showed
balance of 1491. 14c. sd. in favour of adventurers.
The mines are reported to be looking highly encou-
raging-150 tons of copper were sampled on the 26th.
From the western part of C irn wall we learn that
several of the mines have considerably improved of
late, and important discoveries have been made.
Alfred Consols continues progressively improving.
Botallack and Levant exhibit very great improve-
ments. At Bosorn they have a beautiful rich course
of ore in the bottom level, and shares have much ad-
vanced. Boswidden is much improved, and in the
locality shares are in demand.
Twenty tons of ore have been sold at Bryn-arian,
at 131. per ton. The mine is said to be looking very
well—the ore better for silver on sinking deeper.
At the Wheal Courtenay meeting, a call of 21. per
share was made. A report from the agent was read,
which was highly satisfactory, and it is expected no
further calls would be required.
At the Guadalcanal meeting, the deed of settlement,
which had been prepared according to a resolution
at a previous meeting, was read and explained by Mr.
Duncan, the solicitor, and was eventually approved,
and ordered to be immediately laid before the regis-
trar for his approval.
At the annual meeting of the Barossa Range
Mining Company, the accounts were audited, and
other official business transacted. The reports repre-
sent the prospect of the mines as encouraging, and that
between 50 and 60 tons of copper ore had been shipped
for England.
