During 1904 the production Of tin
ore In the United Staes amounted TO
1859 snort tons, which contained from
40 to 10 per cent OF metallic tin and
were obtained from deposits near
Gaffney south Carolina, Tinton, South
Dakota, and suck Creek, Alaska.
Nearly all OF this tin ore was ship
ped to England for smelling. AL
though about 40sper cent OF the tin
produced In re world IL consumed
in the United states, there has been
practically no production OF the met
al in this country until the last year
or two.
During the last few years the pro-
duction of tin In the world has not
been equal to the demand, and the
accumulated stocks Of tin that have
been held in various countries have
become very much diminished since
1896. One OF the chief reasons for
this increasing demand for tin is the
large growth OF the canning industry,
and also Of the use OF tin boxes and
cases in shipping sundry articles.
On account OF the demand for tin
and the high price II brings, q new
industry was started few years ago
which is known as "detinning" tin
scrap, and this has now become OF
considerable Importance In the Unit
ed States. Many hundred tons or
metallic tin and chemical salts OF
tin, chiefly chlorides, are procured
each year from the chemical or cleo
trolytlc treatment Of new tin scrap,
which Is obtained from tin can and
fruit can factories
On account of the value OF the met
al tin, II Is possible to work very low
grade ores II they occur In quantity,
and usually little difficulty Is exper-
fenced In cleaning and concentrating
tin ore so as TO obtain nearly pure
concentrate. Casslterlte % tin oxide,
Is the usual tin ore. Although the
American production has thus far
been very small, II may be the be-
ginning OF what may become an i'm
portant industry In the country.
Or. Joseph Hyde Pratt OF the Unit
cd States Geological Survey. VINO
has written brief report on the pro
duction OF tin In 1904 for the Sur.
lvey's annual volume, Mineral Re
sources of the United States" states
that the total production OF tin in the
world In 1904, exclusive OF the pro-
duction in China, was 94,243 long
tons. The product comes mainly
from the Malay States, Banka and Bill
lIton, Bolivia, England and Austral'
la. A very small quantity Is also
produced in Austria, Germany. Japan,
Mexico and America. There was a
slight decrease, amounting TO 1850
long tons, in the estimated produc.
ton OF tin in 1904 as compared with
1903. The consumption OF tin In
1904 Is estimated at Approximately
91, 755 tons, which is 2512 tons more
than the actual production.
The tin imported into the United
States for the fiscal year ending June
| 30, 1904, announced to 40.S32 short
tons, valued at s21,4Se,311. The
greater part OF the tin consumed In
the United States is produced In the
Malay peninsula.
