COBNWALI-. 
A regular silver vein has been found just 
on the Cornish side of the river Tamar. 
Although small quantities of this precious 
fiiecal have frequently been got, in cross 
Veins, in the mines of Cornwall, yet no re¬ 
gular silver lode has ever before been met^ 
with. This vein was found and tv 'ced Jrom 
the surface, and is now regubrly worked as 
a silver mine. The operations arc still very 
recent 3 and it is only within a very short 
time that enough of the metal has been got 
to render it worthy of observation. This 
lode is in Killas, the Shlstose rock of Corn¬ 
wall, and runs nearly parallel to two copper 
lodes which are near it, the one on the 
north, the other on the south, side. At the 
surface, the vein chiefly consists of the 
clayey matter denominated Fhckan. which is 
mixed with the earthy black ore of silver j 
deeper, native silver, with red silver ore 3 
and, at the greatest depth, which is about 
tweijty fathoms, the red ore is found more 
compact, along with vitreous silver ore. 
These lie chiefly in spathuse iron ore, and 
are mixed with arsenical pyrites.
