WEsT ST. A.1,78YN is situated in the Parish of Crowan,
in County of-Cornwall, and held on a Term, of which
twenty years are unexpired. It is in the midst of en immensely
rich Mining District, being in the vicinity of Binnar Downs,
Relistian. Copper Bottom, Wheal Vor and Great Work, Pol-
cretrow, Carn Brea Mines, and many others too numerous to
mention. Yet notwithstanding such advantages, the Proprie-
tors are desirous that WesT Sr. A CBYN be valued only by its
own present worth and apparent prospects, which, if not sur-
passing, are considered at least equal to those of anY. Mine. in
the County of Cornwall, however r ch, at the same depth. But,
without further remark respecting the value of Mine, Capitalists,
especially those who may not have the means of inspecting her,
or of getting it done for them, are respectfully referred to the
annexed Letters, from well known experienced Mining Agents,
who have not the least interest in the Mine in any way, men of
high character add acknowledged integrity—Captains Alexan-
der Teague, Nicholas Langdon, James Southy, and James
Front, agreeably trs, whose recommendation the sinking of the
new Shaft, so as to cut the Great Tin Lode 15 fathoms under
the present level, is already begun, and in course of prosecution.
Although the nominal Capital of the Mine is £6,000, yet it is
confidently expected that not one quarter of that sum will be
expended (except for materials) before the Mine will be yield-
ing immense profitsi and therefore ,it is hoped that no call will
be made after the Deposit of ss. per share, except for the pur-
chase of materials, especially a Steam Engine to draw the water
from the Mine, and to stamp the Ores, of which considerable
quantities might be raised even from its present shall-y level, so
as to give immediate profit to the Proprietors, if there were a
Steam-stamps erected for crushing the Ores, as may be seen
from the annexed Letters.

I'o meet the supposed expense of the Mine, and secure a fund
for the erection of a .Steam. Engine, and the purchase of the
necessary materials, it has been determined that a Capital of
£G,OOO be raised, in 6,0(J0 shares of £l. each; towards which a
deposit of.ss. per share has been paid, and a further instalment
of ss. per:share is to be paid on the 2 I of January, "1837; before
which tunejit is supposed, the Great Tin Lode will be cut at the
twenty faihotn- level, and, therefore, the erection of a Steam-
stamps is-necessary, in order to facilitate the making of returns.
But no further call is to be made until authorised by a Special
General Meeting of the Shareholders to be co.nvened for that
purpose an,.month's notice of which"to be given in two Cor-
nish, two London. and two Liverpool newspapers, viz. :—The
Mining Jitspol,,The Watchman, The 11-e4 Briton, The Cornwall
Gazette, atathe Lt VERPOOL STANDARD, and Journal;

The next General Meeting of the Shareholders to take place
some time in December (notice of which will be given in the
above newspaperi), unless sooner called for by sonie unforseen
exigence, ot by a majority of the Shareholders; when the ac-
counts shalt be inspected, and when, if required by the meeting,
two or more Director; shall be elected, who in conjunction with
the Managing Agent, shall have the conducting of the opera-
tion of the Mine.

All accounts to be made up monthly, and open for the in-
spection of every Shareholder,

Application for Shares to be made (if by letter, post paid) to

Since the publication of the original Prospectus, the Mine
has been examined by the under-tnentioned parties (referred to
above), and from their highly favourable report the shares are
now at a premium of two pounds. A few hundred shares aie
now offered to the Public, and as it is confidently expected that
the next report will occasion a large addition to the premium,
an early.application will be necessary to secure them. The
addresses of the Examiners are attached to the Letters, that
persons wishing for inure extended information may refer to
them; upon enquiry being made in the neighbourhood, they
will be found men of long experience and known integrity, and
that the prospects held out to the Public are much inure limited
than the present appearances would justify.

Richard. Stephens, Esq.
West St. Aubyn, 30th June, 1836.
.Sir,—Agreeably to your request, we whose names are here-
unto subjoined; have this day inspected West St. Aubyn Mine,
and now send you my. joint opinion of present appearance,
and the manner in which we reemnineud your future method
of working the said Mine, so as to explore as tnu:h of the Lode
as can-be on. the least expensive scale. We conceive the Sett
to he a valinible one-, having, we believe, upwards of 500 fa-
thoms in length, on the course of the large fin Lode; which
Lode: is- worthy-of notice, its component parts being such as
indicate its being a Tin .Lode of such strength as not to be in-
. jured by any change of Strata that may take place in depth.
We were not a
,little suprised to find at the present working
shaft, which is only about five fathoins deep, a Lode varying
from three to ,fotir. ket over, or in breadth, on the course of
which about sixteen Wheals have beets driven at the bottom of
the said shaft, on the 'average worth about £7 10s. per fathom.
We do not recollect: eter seeing,a Tin . Lode so regular in size,
and Making on the north-and south walls tro regular at only five
fathoms from the•itirfilte.. Its Underlay, about five feet in the
fathoM, wecousider i,good underlay.
We agree in the opinion, that you should at once increase
your number of workmen, by putting .nine men. to 'sink a new
shaft, south of the present shaft, so es totake the Lode at twenty
fathoms deep, the said shaft to be eight feet long by five feet
wide, so as to hdre room for drawing the water by Whim Barrels,
and drawing stuff at the same time if necessary, and also for a,
footway. We'strinigly:reconimend your doing this without loss
of tiike, as the:summer season is the best time for accomplish-
ing such an Object. It you are fortunate• enough to cut the
Lode in this new shaft(as we have every reason to expectypros-
perous, we they .would say, erect a Steam Engine for draining
the said Mine, auvi for stamping of crushing the Tin stuff, by
doing which you will save. in carriage to water-stainps, &c. a
very considerable sum. We also should not omit saying, that
the inclination of the surface to the west of the said shaft is
favourable for Metal; this we have observed, in thecourse of
our practice as Mine Agents, in some of the most. 'extensive
Min-es.in this County.

We are, Sir, your most nbeiiient Servants,

yogi favour of the 4th iratant. If my labours,
Sir,7-I have
by inspecting your Mine at any time, v;ill promote your interest,
I shall do it with the greatest of pleasure.
I have been a practical miner for upwards of forty years, and
I never was so pleasantly disappointed by
inspecting a shallow
Mine in all my life as I was at:the prospects of West St. Alwyn
Tin Mine, in. the Parish of Crowan; 'neither have I ever wit-
nessed such atrongiarge Lode, and so productive for Tin, at the
depth'of five fathoms below the surface, as West St. Aubyti.
If there were a Strain:stamps erected on the Mine, you might
return large quantities of Tin, even in this natant state of the
Mine. And I think- the Lode, when it is explored dawn in
settled 0-round, will he found more productive, arid the Tin,
that is now scattered throughout .the Lode, will be collected into
a settled leader, and. produce .rnare Tin iu a less quantity of
work. . - • • . •
I never saw the large Copper Lode that you say is about one
hundred fathoms to the north of the great Tin. Lode.. ,
West St. Auhyn Mine appears to me to be in a good mining
'district; and I would recommend you to open costeell Pits On
the•back of the great Copper Lode, .and every other Lode lathe
sett. It is not an uncommon thing-to find Tiu-backs on Copper
Ltodes, therefore I think you may expect, reasonably', to bud
'fru on the backs of all the Lodes in .st. Aubyn Mine,
I am, sir, yoUr obedient•Cervant, :'

DEAR am in receipt of your favour. ana in reply, beg
to sac, that I never saw a Lode at the present depth is
and likely to:hell) pri,doetive, as that of West St. Aubyn-Aline.
Still I would advise you to see the Lode at a deeper level before
I Would recommend the erection tilit Steatn-stauips.

Richard Stevens. Esq.; •
Stn,--1 would advise you to sink the new shaft in the West
St.:Aub.n Mine with all speed, so as to see the Lode about 15
fathonisbelow the present workings. From the appearance ot
the Lode in the shallow level which is now driving, I think that
the T)-
there is scarcely a doubt ot your cutting a very good Lode at
scarcely
level • fer 1 never saw such a large, strong, pro-
mising, and so priefnetive a Lode at the depth of five fathoms
below the surface, in all the course of my ruining, ( which. is
nearly forty yeats. This Lode, which you call the West St.
Aubyn Great Tin Lode, is on an avera.e three feet wide, car-
ryinztwo recillar walls, end will produce from seven to eight
