LOTS OF TIN IN AMERICA,
But We Can't Compete With the Malay
Peninsula. Where Labor Ii Chean.

Experts attached to the geological sur

hopefully, but not with confidence. There
Is plenty of that metal all over the
United States, not only in Dakota, Cali
flrnla and Virginia, where millions OF
money are being expended in preparing to
mine for 1t, but also in Montana, Wyom-
ing, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, along the Hudson and
elsewhere. Wherever coarse granite ex-
lists the industrious prospector will find
this valuable metal. But the difficulty is
to get 1t out at small enough cost to
compete with the foreign product.
Two-thirds of the tin produced at pres
ent in the world comes from the Straits of
Malacca- The backbone of the Malay
peninsula is granite range of mountains
containing the same formation as that of
the Black Hills IN Dakota, with irregular
veins OF coarse rock that holds oxide of
tin. Severe rains accompanied bv ire
mendous tornadoes are characteristics of
the climate in that region. They
wash away the substance of the
hils, which is carried towards
the sea by the rivers, the tin being
dropped on the way because it is heavy.
This has been going on for ages. and in
the dry channels where streams formerly
flowed the mining is done for the metal
which is found in little round nuggets
like shot of different sizes. These mug
gets are separated from the gravel by the
crudest conceivable methods of washing.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 14.-[Special. +
The late OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Meigs,
who died in this city last week. was
born in Georgia, but always claimed Penn
sylvania as his home. His parents were
Pennsylvanians. He often explained,
laughingly, that in the matter of having
Georgia. as q birthplace he was in no way
responsible. 1t was an accident over
which he had no control whatever. His
parents were on visit to Georgia at the
time that the accident happened-that
was all. General Meigs, during his long
term Of service in the engineer and in the
euartermaster's corps, handled billions of
dollars. Not even his bitterest enemies
ever charged that a cent of that
vast sum stuck to his fingers.

ALUMINIUM FROM GREENLAND.
Soda Extracted From Cryolite and the
Light Metal From the Refuse.


Light Metal From the Refuse.
The attention of the world has for some
time past been directed more anxiously to
aluminium than to any other metal. White
as silver, lighter than glass, untarnishable
as gold, ductile as lead, and harder than
steel, with tensile strength unequaled,
this substance seems to be adaptable to all
the uses to which its rivals collectively
are put, with none of their disadvantages
Accordingly, great hopes have been en-
tertalned OF It's future usefulness, depend
ing apparently for their realization only
upon the cheapening of the processes for
its production. Inasmuch as it is reckoned
that 20 per cent. of the earth's crust is
aluminium, there is evidently plentiful
supply, the sole difficulty being to separate
1t from other elements with which it is
combined in nature.
When it was announced a year ago that
the cost of producing aluminium had been
reduced to 80 cents pound it was felt to
be getting within reach for ordinary COM
merclal uses, to many of which it has
been already applied. Within the last few
weeks the expense of obtaining it in a
pure state has been brought down to IS
cents pound, and it is stated authorita-
lively that within two years 25 cents a
pound will bc the figure. 1t will not ever
go much below that, in all probability, so
the chemists say.
All the aluminium made in this country
at present is brought from Greenland orig
Inally IN the shape of sort Of rock that
LOOKS somewhat like alum, called "cryo-
lite: There is company in Philadelphia
which has for years past been sending to
that region vessels built expressly for that
purpose, and of great strength, to fetch
back cargoes of this mineral. From it the
concern manufactures soda in enormous
quantities for washing and cooking pur-
poses. After having extracted the soda
there Is left over q substance which chem
lists term oxide of aluminium, and from
this waste material the metal is obtained.
The cryolite is dug out of the ground in
Greeland, and there is about enough of it
obtalnable to last for fifty years, but no
more. However, when that is gone. or be-
fore, resort can be had to enormous de-
posts OF substance called "bauxite. -
found in Arkansas. 1t is a compound of
aluminium, just as cryolite is, and looks
like white clay. spread out for miles in flat
layers. Aluminium is already much uti-
lized, chiefly on account of its lightness. in
the manufacture of scientific instruments
opera glasses, watch-cases, springs and
many other things.
