SHORT OF TIN.
The Worlds Supply Is Already Less
Than the Demand.

Where is the world to obtain its fu-
ture supply Of tin?
This question assumes considerable
Importance in the light Of the re-
cent failure of the production to meet
the demand and the rcs,Il tant in
roads that have been made upon the
accumulated stocks Of tin held in
various countries. The demand for
tin is rapidly increasing. One reason
for this. if not the chief reason, is the
large growth Of the canning industry
and Of the use Of tin boxes and eases
i'll shipping various articles. TO no
country is the question Of tin sup
ply more important than to the Unit
cI States, which consumes more than
20 per cent of all ihc tin produced
IN the world
It is only within the last few years
that there has been any attempt to
produce tin in this country. Three
years ago this metal was produced in
Alaska, South Carolina and South
Dakota. Compared with the total con-
sumption Of tin in the United States
the production is very small, but
those who have investigated the qucs-
tion say that the small beginning
made in these three sections may be-
fore long become an important home
industry. None of the ore is smcltcd
in this country. The smelling is all
done in England. In the South Car
nlina-North Carolina region. although
,hc output has been small much pros
pccting and developing work has been
carried on, chiefly in the vicinity of
Kings Mountain and Lincolnton. At
The former place mill has been
erected and prospectin" is in pro-
press. Some very promising ore has

has ais" been in progress ut the Tin
ton deposits of South Dakota and at
the Buck Creek deposits of Alaska.
But the production Of tin ore in the
United States continues to be so very
small as to make additional discover
les Of the ore in tiis country cause
Of considerable interest.
BY far the largest quantity of tin in
the world comes from the Malay PEN
lnsuia. The approximate tin output
of the world in 1905 was lO3, l49
short tons, of which the Malay states
turned ont G5,5G5 tons, upward of "a
per cent of the total output of The
world. Bolivia came next with 1866
tons.
Although there are many rich tin
mines in Bolivia, many of them arc
located at long distances from rail
roads. Other obstacles in the way
are the scarcity Of fuel and water,
the rough character Of the country
and the great altitudc-condition
that make ii almost impossible to
work the deposits. II is expected
that one Of the important results of
the development Of BolA'ia will be
large increase in the contribution of
that country to the worlds supply Of
tim. The new lines Of railroad run
ni"'' into Argentina and to the navi
gable waters Of the Amazon are ccr-
tam TO increase Bolivia's production
OF this article by maxim" larger pro-
portions Of the country accessible.
More than l3 per cent Of the tin
output Of the world comes from Ban
ka and Billion. although the falling
off i'll the supply from this source in
recent years is undoubtedly due to
the exhaustion of the placers. About
5 per cent of the world s supply comes
from Australia. The Mount Bischo(f
mine, Tasmania. continues to be one
of the largest tin mines of the world
and drcd"cs are working tin-bcarinr

and Elections decides that Reed
Smoot is not a senator after all,
he will have served a longer
term on suspicion than any 9th

Our old friend, Don Valeriano
Asafedita Weyler, is again Min
lister of War in Spain; but he
can't very well do anything to
Cuba this time. He whom we
called Butcher" Weyler must
smile grimly on reading what
Gen. Wood is doing in the Phil
lipines.
Much the most important move
the President has ever made is
the one now reported, contemp-
lating that of subjecting the
physical operations of the rail
roads to the Interstate Commerce
| Commission. This plan cannot
actually be credited to the White
House, but the rumor is afoat in
tolerably definite shape and it is
important enough to warrant
serious notice. 1t is known that
Judge Cowon, counsel for the
l Texas Cattle Raisers' Associa-
tion had a good deal to do with
drafting the recent rate bill.
Now it is said that he has draft
ed another measure and submit
ted it to the President of vastly
more important scope. 1t is
nothing else than the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall
have the power in times like that
of the present car famine and
freight congestion to step in and
manage the railroads if they
cannot or will not give efficient
public service themselves. 1t is
said that a draft of this bill has
been submitted to the President
and that he has passed it up fol
consideration to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. There
is reason to believe this is so
The Chairman of the Commerce
Commission when asked abou
; the report would not say any
thing on the subjecG but specif
cally refused to deny it.
Now if this report is true, il
means government ownership
with a vengeance. 1t is mor'
effective and more likely of ac
complishnent than anything Mr.
Bryan has ever proposed. l
: means simply that the govern
ment. not by avowed ownership
and the appropriation of a large
lump sum shall take over tn,
railroads, but that it will be abl,
to direct their operations with
out the expenditure of cent o
money.
Leaving politics out of the
!
question, there are reasons VIII.
j. this is one of the most importan
suggestions ever made. 1t is
matter of official record tina
there was more graft and cor
ruption in the Pennsylvania
railroad last summer than in al
other forms of extortion, graf
. and blackmail combined.
