This smelting estabfi-h- went has been Iccated at a distance mearly midway be- tween the two mines. The object of locating it there is in consequence of the groana between it and both mimes. where the dressing flocrs will be placed. Tho ores will then, when eleanred, be very near.

The whole lode may be described thus its value at £30 per fathom. do aswell Ihave nodoubt The extent of this ore ground must be, say 300 feet lomg on the Union lode. ‘We have here discovered a new vein, 20 feot to the north, | croceing the others—it isabout two feet wide And the | Victoria veim which also erowes. shows rich orey ground at the surface, Cross cuts below will open these two ad. ditienal veins. and [ am much mistaken if this mine does not turn out a much larger quantity of ore in depth than what I have rated. (£30 8 fathom.) If there veins hold good, like the Unton vein now does, | the orey ground now discovered will reach 800 feet in length n all tbree veins, at this Union Mine At the Coal Hill Mine the water will not be out below the adit before the last of the month. But from what | has been done there and trom what workings remain at i that depth. this is I think a great lead vein, and I heve no doubt will prove very rich, when we see the bottom of | it next month What it bas yielded astonishes me thus far and I think what is to ceme will astonish you all. i The orey parts have produced £60 per fathom The ore ground is over 340 feet long There are 15 000 tons of attle now at grass, and 15 000 tons of ore were dressed up, yielding for all the ground taken away £35 per om. fel Itis Sy oe that the shafts in these mines will cost £25 per fathom, the levels say £15: but all the mi- re ‘egree'with me that ore can be stoped for about £6 per om. If your mines are carried out in the epirit in which you have begun them the profit must be very great. I will explain my ideas thus :— Lod Cost of breaking a fathom of ground. am) Raising it to grass, 8 0 Crusbing.. 8 4) Dresring,.. 40 815 4 Cost of smelting, product ef eay three tons.....1 18 0 1018 4 Or, $61 60 per fathom, of six feet long six fect high,and four feet wide. The shafts and levels will pay for themselves. I have estimated the Union Mine at $160 per fathom. The Coal ‘Hill mine is no doubt the richest. But if they both yield alike, you have two thirds the product of your ore ground to pay contingent expenses. which. if allowed at 40 per cent., your clear profit ought to be ome balf on all your operations, after erecting all machinery. But not less u £18,000 to £20 000 will in my judgment. be expend- ‘compicting all necesrary preparations for working the mines properly, of which enly about £8,000 need be contributed by the company in cash, as all the rest will be from retrings in the mines. I have now give: L bat beeper d eccount of what we have done in of time; and trusting it will be approved by the Committee, Iam. gentlemen, your most obsdient and humblerervant, HENRY RODDA The Executive Committee repert that they have ap- pointed Captain William Lean, of Callington, Cornwall, England, chicf manager, for two years. Captain Lean, as manager of Dolcoath, East Pool, and Molmbush mines, during twenty years. har been at the head of extensive establishments, where the greatest economy has been exeroised, has acquired the best information relative to mines and mining operations. His long praetical ex perience murt command the fall confidence of those interested. Oaptein Rodda, the underground snb-agent, has been recommended by high authority a9 ele. miner. Captain Rodda has placed the eoneern, im the short time which has elapsed since its commencement, very farouward. The utmost sotivity has been infused into every department. We bave received the first report of the New Jersey Zinc Vompany, made by @ committee from the board of directors. It appears by this report that the eom- pany pcesess mineral rights im fee simple of four kun. dred and cighty aeres of land, im Sussex county, upon whieh their principal mines are situated, and that the company also bave perpetual leases on 1,102 acres of land inthe same county, all containing valuable minerals, Besides this the company own 41 30-100 acres of land at Newark, upon which their manufacturing works are lo. eated. Tho report says that by a late survey of the mines by Prof. Jackson, of Bo:tom, it is established by actual measurement, that the eompany possosses in the mines now opened and worked, 1,200,000 tons of the red oxide of sino, omd over 1,100,000 tons of franklinite, both above water level. It is, therefore, the opinion of the committee. thet as to the main question upon which all the operations of the New Jersey Zine Oompany repose, in the abundance snd chrapnens of ite minerals, the re rult is in the highest degree satisfactory. In relation to the cost of mamafacturing, &e., the repert says:— The ctatements prepared by the treasurer and book- keeper of the company embodying the results of three monte. contina scrutinized and analyzed, ited, and the books there exam- establish the fast that the works at Newark ined by your committer, both the dry priaee and the manufsctured paints are produced reddy for market, at @ cost of full thirty cent below the oash price at which they find an active morket.
