Tin.

Tin is one Of the metals Of which the con-
sumption and use enter into almost every
household.
Tin is an elementary metal, and ranks as
such with silver, gold, lead, and iron.
England furnished the world with tin until
the year 1910, when tin ore was discovered in
Germany. In 1910 tin ore was found in the
Barbary states of Africa; in 174o some tin
mines were found in India, and in 1852 tin
mines were found in what was then known
as New Spain (Mcxico).
Tin was used and mined in Mexico long
before the Spanish conquest, and was coined
into pieces and used as money.
Peru is said to have valuable tin mines, but
they have not as yet been utilized. Now
South Wales is developing some tin minos
which may prove to be valuable.
Tin has been found in Pennsylvania, Mis-
souri, and California within the last few years,
and it is claimed that 1t has been found in
Virginia, and parties owning these reputed
tin mines are now endeavoring to induce
capital to develop their discoveries.
If there be found in this country miues Of
tin which will yield a supply to repay capi-
talists who may be willing to make invest
ments and to furnish tho necessary supply
for consumption in this country it will add
greatly to our material wealth. At present
tho tin producing countries of the world are
England, which produces about 10000 tons a
year; Malacca, which produces about $500
tons Australia, 5000 tons; Banca, 1000
tons, and Billion, 5000 tons. Banca and Bill
liton are both islands of the Dutch East In.
dies. If Mexico with which we arc now in
close commercial relations, and Virginia can
furnish reasonable part Of the tin which is
used we may expect to have tinwarc at 1
much moro reasonable price than we are now
paying for it.
