Indeed, Cornwall has not been in such a state of bustle for many years, and when an Express representative visited the St Just mining district, where the sullen booming of the Atlantic breakers mingles with the clanking of the machinery at the shaft month, he found theil Company, excitement had loosened the miners lougues, From its point of view of dock shareholders This proven how great it must be, for the disfisputo is exceedingly unfortunate, because it Cornistutaan is characteristically distrustful and must affect dosk warnings, and these, presum- ably, will be to lasis on which the Government silent.

How much higher the price of Cornish tin is likely to go it is impossible to say," said he, There are signs that the advance, will not only continue, but be maintained.
Most of the mines that were closed down ten years age, because of the pour price for tin, would be well worth opening up again, but during the long period of depression from which Cornish mining has been sfering the great bulk of our winers weat to South Africa and Australia, where they now earn grand wages in ia barely sufficient skilled digging gold. There is labour in Cornwall to work the big mines to their foll capacity, without being called on to opau sp1
up the hundreds of disused shafts. "Last year the total of the world's pr duction of Lin was 97,00 tons. About 7,000 tons oame from Cornwall," he
he continued. The great bulk comes from the Straits Bettlements, and the explanation given for the present high price of the ore is that the supply from the East has not kept pace with the world's demands. The United States alone is bidding twelve months ahead for the entire output from the Strais Settlements.
There should be a great revival of the ancient prosperity of the Cornish tie industry, for Cornish tin is the finest in the world, and the county is streaked with i from Dartmoor to Land's End The old delusion that the maines cannot be profitably worked will soon be a thing of the past.”
A well-known American engineer, who lately visited the Carn-Bron-district, said that were the Cornish ruining foldsstusted in the United States they would be one of the basiest and wealthiest spots on the map.
THE SHANGHAI DUELLISTS.
In continuation of our acte yesterday, we quote the following letter from the N-C Daily Nexos
ply
to
room for the accommodation of the soft wood
trade, which is the mainstay of the Surrey Commercial Dock Company.
We are informed that the London and India and Millwall companies gave the plainest in- tamation that the claim of the Surrey commny to complete liberty of actio would be regarded 15 a declaration of hostilities. Further so far from the present, reduction in rates being tem porarily introduced, it is stated that there is every intention to maintain it antil the Surrey comping.comes to an und
to an understanding. Last year. the Surrey cotopany earned 1204,000 from the handling of wood cargoes, and took for dockage. £55,000, of which probably £40,000 represented ahips bringing timber. If it is resolved to meet the opposing companies reduction, ratos must be reduced by one-fourth, or £31,00, and douk dars by one-half, or £20,000. These two items together represent £71.00, which was the amount required last year to pay 5 per cent, on the ordinary stock of the Enerey company. In ather wers, suppo-dug the Surrey comping, do reduce their charger to the level of their oppo- nonti-apparently they stand to Ines 57KÖKA per annum, area if they keep their business inaot.
