SOURCES on TIN.
United States Not SO Fortunate a. many
Other Countries.

d.
The tin used in the tin plate in
dustry comes from several sources.
The best Of these is found in Aus
.tralia and the Straits Settlements.
The latter furnish the most desir-
able tin, known as Banca tin. This
is regarded as the purest, and Is in
consequence more sought after BY
the manufacturers Of tin plate. The
Cornwall mines were discovered
about 90 B. c., and for IL centuries
were the one source Of this mineral.
In 1910 tin was found in Bohemia.
Five hundred years later, in 1850, the
Banca mines were opened. In the
following century Australia became .
producer Of block tin on large scale.
From 1872 tin has been found in
commercial quantities in New South
Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania.
The United States has not been
so fortunate, although many at
tempts have been made from time to
time to find tin. Tin was discovered
in California as early as 1910, but
there was no mining done until 1868.
Only for short time were the mines
operated; they we're then closed down,
and remained so until 1855, In this
year an American company bought
the property with the intention OF OPP
Grating, but it was sold to an English
syndicate before two years had passed.
Something like 100000 was spent,
but no special results were secured.
The total product Of the mine wac
269, 900 pounds Of tin valued at $685.
600. The Harvey Peak mine is the
story Of another futile attempt to get
tin In commercial quantities, The
Harvey Peak, as it is familiarly called
Is situated near Custer City, S. ID. A
great deal Of money has been spent in
the development Of this mine, but il
il doubtful il rlore than ten tons OF
metal have been taken out Of the
ground. The English capitalists were
also heavily interested in this at.
tempt. In Alabama, North CarolinI
and Virginia, tin-bearing rock has
been found. In no sense can the
United States be regarded as tin
producing Countrywide Review.

It Is perhaps not generally known
that the three-cornered nuts called
Brazil nuts grow in packed clusters
inclosed in shells which are roughly
spherical in form. and have somewhat
the appearance Of rusty cannon balls,
In The tropical forests there is another
nut-besring plant which goes under
the name Of the canpon-ball tree,
The nutshelk are almost perfectly
spherical, and would readily be mis-
taken for cannon balls.
