Mines and Mineral Statislics. 
this Division are twentj-flve (25), the total yield of which for the 
past year was 2,080 tons of ore. Of course there are a great 
number of small tribute parties working mineral ground, of which 
I could not get any reliable information, but I believe all who are 
so engaged arc making a very comfortable living. There are 
500 miners employed in tliis Division. 
The discovery of new rich deep leads, and the opening up of 
fresh mineral ground in this district, ■will give fresh impetus to 
mining enterprise, and altogether I look forward with confidence 
to the year 1875 proving a prosperous one for the Tin Mines of 
Xew England.
