TIN ORE.-The great Importance of tin
plates in the foreign commerce Of the coun.
try, and the belief that the vast quantity I'M
ported last yesr, about 2j0,0 600 tons, could
be manufactured il this country if q supply
Of tin at low cost could be obtained, give a
peculiar interest 10 the reports Of the dis
covery OF that metal in different parts of the
United States. Among the more promising
of these deposits recently examined IS The
one discovered about two years agoin Rock
bridge county, on Irish Creek. Different
parties of capitalists have since secured
portions OF the property containing this de-
post, and have opened shafts and cuts TO
asceltai the quantity and quality of tho
ore, ant about TWO hundred tens have been
raised, and considerable shipments for
smelling have been made to England. But
the aa?ties interested find abundant reason
to pu5 np smelling works on the spot, for
the supply OF ore appears 10 be large, and
the geological indications and ,hs many con-
verging veins discovered lead to the belief
that a large mass of the ore exists not far
below the surface, though further than the
shafts have yet penetrated
Tic orc in one OF the tracts is said to be pure
and rich cSsiterite, where vein from four 10 ten
feet wide has been found. which is said to yield
according to analysis 81 per cent. metallic tin
from wall to wall Other openings show narrow
er veins Of very pure tin stone, generally almost
vertical, but varying much il width One IS two
feet WIDE OF which specimens arc said to yield
20 per cent. metallic tin. The veins appear to
extend through an entire mountain 7CO feet high,
and covering about 500 acres The location is
stated to be peculiarly favorable in having ample
water power for reduction works. OF the eco

in large Quantities and OF reducing it on the spot,
no details are given as yet, but if the accounts
in other respects are Trustworthy, the deposit will
provo O( great value.

whom it would he supposed would have felt
a little hurt al his defeat, saddled his horse
