The lode split into many veins and the rock was
hard and barren. From these facts, many of
the most influential men of that place said the
lode was unbottomed and there was an end to
deep mining.
After the lapse of some years some parties
were persuaded that deep mining was practical
bic and before sinking 60 fathoms they found
the small veins alluded to, falling in, forming q
complete lode, and in sinking fathoms below
that point, the lode resumed its former appear
ance, rich for tin, and the ground soft and con-
genial, as in the levels above, and is paying a
dividend at the present time. The diagram
above will show the pitch and underlay of the
main lodes here, and in the mean time give you
perfect drawing of the lodes in the mine al
luded to. There are other mines that / am per-
sonally acquainted with which / might bring
before you to illustrate the facts of the great
analogy that is existing between the mining re-
gion here and in Cornwall.
This has been contradicied by parties that
have no knowledge of mining in other parts of
the world. There are places we'll known to me
where they have had the richest deposits of ore
in the upper formation by sinking 40 fathoms
miners penetrated the barren rock but this did
not retard their progress; they pushed their
works into the primitive rock, where they again
found the lode as rich in the stratum above,
and are TO this day the best paying mines in
Cornwall.
Please allow me TO enumeratc some of the
mines where instances of this kind have takep
place. earn Bray mines, in CORNWALL, were
worked down to the 100 fathom level. The
greatest part of the time for upwards of 20 years
was spent in the barren rock, without profit
1t was abandoned. Another company common
ced operations, but before properly penetrating
the rock alluded to. abandoned it also. Yet it
was still the opinion of some that deep mining
practicable that a powerful company
was formed, with Il proper spirit and with am
pie machinery, which very soon reached the de-
sired point. Within the last % years they have
made profit of about 81 100000 and are still
returning large quantities of tin and copper ore
from the same lodes, and paying monthly div
idend. South Wheal Bassett mines commenced
operations and sank 80 fathoms in the barren
rock, and after ten years working on 4 limited
scale the mine abandoned Since that time
she has been set to work, pushed through all
difficulties and paid the company 81 100000,
and is paying divident at the present time
East Wheal Rose mine the same after sinking
through the different strata. good and bad, from
the upper formation to the lower formation, the
Company made clear profit in twenty years
81 100000
There a hundred other mines that have
undergone the same difficulties, which might be
brought before you to show that there is stri-
king analogy between the mining religion here
and the mining region in Cornwall

The Peace.

Nobody seems satisfied with the peace
France herself, because the Austrians were not
entirely elected from Italy according to the pro-
gramme laid down by Napoleon Italy, be-
cause a government or confederation has been
forced upon its people without their consent or
choice and because Venetia and the famous
quadrangle are left still within the clutch of
their hereditary enemy-Austria; and England
because italian liberty has not been secured,
and because Louis Napoleon has now placed
himself in position to make demonstrations
against her Austria because she has been de-
feated Germany. because attempt to extend
France 20 the Rhine IS feared. New complica-
tions are expected to arise, and many shrewd
men think the present only temporary calm,
which may soon change to another tempest OF
war.
Napoleon, having proved himself the greatest
general and the most skillful diplomat in Ra-
rope keeps his own counsel. Like his great
uncle he works for France and himself Find
ing that it would not pay TO fight any longer,

flush of victory. He has accomplished his own
real designs, and the liberty of LAZY which was
the ostensible object Of the war, not being COM

view between the Austrian and French Empe-
