Virginia Tin Mines.

The Boston Tin-NIining Company will
purchase l7O acres of tin-ore property
on IRISH creek, Rockbridgc county, Va,
which they now hold under lease. Their
lease is good for two years aud was &C.
cured at 4 minimum royalty OF $4,000
per year, with the option OF purchasing
the property for 100000. 1t is now an
open secret that the character OF the
tin ore on the land makes the purchase
at that price certain.
Since the company leased the proper
ty they have had force OF men quietly
but steadily at work opening up mines
and have run into the mountain tun-
mel 200 feet, and from this opening sew
eral side tunnels from fifty to 100 feet.
y lOO-foot cut has also been made and
the workmen found in al! places tin ore
OF sufficient value to be reduced with
profit. y reduction plant that cost
moro than $4,000 was recently COM
pleted, since when they have had ut
work crusher with daily capacity of
200 tons. The force OF men at work will
be largely increased SO rs to keep the
crushcr busy.
The tin in the ore runs from 2 to GO
per cent, and even at the minimum the
value OF the mines are beyond calcula-
ton, rs the ore exists in very large
deposits, virtually inexhaustiblc. The
deposits are said TO very much resemble
those in the Australian mines, and M
experienced tin expert, who has spent
years in Australia, does not hesitate TO
declare aftera complete investigation OF
the American mines that they are the
most valuable in the world.
In the last issue OF the .lmrican Nan
utucturcr was the appended editorial on
the British tin plate depression:
4" Although the opposers OF the new
tariff declared that the advanced rates
on tin plates would result in greater
cost to the American consumers We
find the foreign manufacturers to-day
making unavailing efforts to hold prices.
One year ago, rs shown by our cable re-
ports OF the British markets, L. V. grade
coke tin plate l4x20 sold for lbs Sd on
board OF vessel in Liverpool. The
same grade this month sold for 12s Cd.
Two years ago the same grade sold for
los Cd. Thus, while the duty has been
increased to 81 26 4 box, in one year the
price has been reduced 81 o."

The children made the most OF tho
snow yesterday, and every sloping side
wnlkwas covered with coasters. AtJacob
and Fourteenth streets there were Sow
crNl narrow escapes from accidents, tho
slcds dashing across tho Ter street Mt
great speed right in front OF vehicles.
There was 4 little leo over the water on
the creek, but it was too weak for even
the reckless small boy to venture on. 1t
has been so long since there was any
need OF tho "snow ordinance" that
everybody forgot there was ono. The
s!eighing was not good, and few cutters
tried 1t. There were few fnlls report
cd, but mono OF them serious.
