sidered rich, as for example the Mount
Bischoff (of Tasmania which has paid
large dividends from ore yielding one
per cent. tin, but many mines are work
ed successfully on a much lower average
| yield
The indications point to the Black
Hills of South Dakota as the most prom.
ising region of the United States for tin
production. There is no question what
ever that tin exists there in considerable
quantity, covering a wide area. Some
of the naturalization is, however, irreg-
ular; and few, if any, of the mines have
been developed sufficiently to prove the
probable yield of the ore in actual min
ing. The naturalization is such that
determination of the probable grade of
the ore by mine sampling is almost i'm
possible. The conditions are somewhat
copper mines of Lake Superior and the
lead mines of southwestern Missouri,
where the actual grade of the ore can be
reliably determined only by actual min
ing and milling. The same condition
appears to exist at the tin prospects at
Irish Greek, Rockbridge county, Vir-
ginia.
at is probable that ore yielding 0 10.
of metallic tin per ton can be produced
in South Dakota This would indicate a
value of $3.50 per ton Of ore at the pres.
ent high price for the metal, and a value
of S2.3S per ton at the average price for
the last ten years. If tin should fall
again to the level reached during the
nineties (the average price at New York
In 1896 having been 1920 per h. the
exploitation of mine yielding only 10
lb. per ton would be doubtful, but in
view of the present situation in tin pro.
ductiou, a much higher level Of prices
is reasonably to be expected. This is
leading to the exploitation of low w-grade
tin ore in various parts of the world,
especially in Tasmania, where careful
management enables the Anchor mine
to be operated successfully on yield OF
only Id. of tin per ton. The success Of
some of these enterprises, together with
the success in treating the low grade
ores or other metals, as for example the
disseminated copper ore of Utah, should
direct attention TO the low grade tin ore
of South Dakota.
Attention is in fact being directed to
that ore at the present time, but the eff
forts are feeble and apparently not well
advised. 1t is folly to contemplate opef-
ations on small scale. Success in such
kind Of mining is dependent upon ap.
preaching the problem in a broad way,
involving large initial expenditure OF
capital, with a view to opening a mine
to enable it to produce large tonnage
of ore, at least 1000 tons daily, and to
provide the necessary milling capacity.
The preliminary expenditure ofa million
dollars would be moderate estimate.
"The concentration Of the low grade
tin ore in the Black Hills formerly gave
much trouble because of the association
of the cassiterate with the mica of the
country rock, the latter being coarse
greisen. 1t is probable that modern
methods of ore concentration would sue
ceed in overcoming this difficulty. We
hope that some effort will be made to
test thoroughly the possibility of tin

Black Hills Tin.

The Engineering and Mining Journal.
of New York, evidently thinks tits quite
possible that profitable tin mining en-
terprises may be developed in the Black
Hills In its issue of March 10th il says:
Tin is known to exist in several parts
of the United States, and at various
times efforts have been made to exploit
the deposits. This has been done in
Virginia, the Carolinas. South Dakota
and California. So far, however, all the
attempts have been failures, some OF
them disastrous failures, involving the
loss of much money. 1t has come to be
the general opinion. therefore that the
United States has no important tin re-
sources, and never will be producer Of
tin. We should be unwilling, however,
to indorse such as the final dictum.
There are certainly some tin prospects
in the United States which have been
pronounced promising by experienced
engineers, whose honesty is above ques-
ton.
Tin ore is usually of low grade.
there are few lode mines in various
parts of the world which may be coz

That was remarkable declaration
made at the mass meeting in Rapid City
which endorsed Buell. for congress, says
the Spearfsh Mail. The substance of
the statement was that time has arrived
for making Rapid City not only the
commercial and railroad center of the
Black Hills, but the political center as
well +" Coming from county which
has persistentiy elected populists and
democrats to county, judicial and legis-
lative offices for the past dozen years, it
is rather amusing to read that the repub-
licans of Pennington county do aspire to
corrall the republican politics of the en-
tire Hills at one full swoop.

"The acetylene gas plant in the Casler
building on the east side of Main street
exploded yesterday evening at about six
O'Clock, totally wrecking the building,
the south side being blown entirely out,
falling on the side walk, the roof col
lapsing and falling onto the floor. The
building was occupied by Robt. McNsh
as a saloon. At the time of the explo.
sion there was some ten men in the
place, who escaped without injury ex-
cept Bob McNish, who received couple
of bruises on the head and had his face
and eyes slightly burned by the explo.
sion. c. Won Workman who had just
reached the sidewalk as the explosion
occurred, was hurled to the sidewalk
the front of the building falling over
him. He is suffering from a conclusion
on his forehead and nose, but his worst
hurt seems to be in his hip and leg. His
hurts are not considered serious. The
miraculous part of the whole thing was
that none of the other inmates Of the
