Exploitation and Development company,
the president of which is Horace c.
Knowles, Our former minister to Bolivia
Mr.. Knowles tells me that his prospectors
have recently discovered wonderful de-
post Of stream tin in one of the Bolivian
rivers. The most of the tin now mined here
is in quartz, but this stream tin is in mug
gets and Jumps from the size Of an egg to
that of your own fists or larger. 1t is said
to be very rich containing So per cent of
oxide of tin. The deposit runs through the
bed of a river for distance of 20 miles
Mr.. Knowles thinks that the tin Of b.
livia has scarcely been touched he says that
his engineers are sending in reports of many
finds that promise to pay big dividends
upon their development He believes that
when our canal is completed the tin ores of
Bolivia will go to the United States rather
than to Europe. We are now using 40 or
50 per cent of all the tin mined, and the tin
we get from Bolivia is taken down to the
seacoast in the ore and shipped off to Eng
land, where it is smelted and then carried
across the Atlantic to be used in our fac
tories. Mr. Knowles thinks that the enor-
nous canning industry of California should
the tin ore should go north along the Pacific
coast from the mines to the mills
At present it costs about 500 to get tin
from these mines to Liverpool, and of this
SIS covers the freight to the seacoast. The
other $45 is taken up in various charges, in
Guiding $l3 for carrying the ore from Anto-
fagasta to Liverpool. The distance to San
Francisco, Los Angeles or Puget sound is
very much less, and the great saving in the
charges of the go-betweens who handle the
tin between England and the United States
would make a fine profit for the American
factories We are now using almost $780,
100000 worth of tin bars and blocks every
year. The export of Bolivia is worth much
less than this, and the United States could
take all of its product and still not have
enough to satisfy its demands.
In the meantime tin prospecting is going
on in many parts of this country, and the
new railroads, now building, will open up
highly mineraized territories that will prob
ably increase the tin product The old
mines are being re-equpped with modern
machinery, and many think that the future
output will be such that it will drive the
more expensive Malaysian tin out of the
market At present they are using 1900
pound stamps to crush the hand-sorted ore,
which is then run through screens of from
six to 10 meshes per inch. After that the
tin is concentrated and shipped off to Eng,
land. In the past the ore has been taken
out OF the earth in the most wasteful ways
Much of it was carried out of the mines in
buckets of raw hide, up ladders, on the
backs of Indians Thousands of tons of the
richest ore were crushed between stones

some OF the miners came out and I photo
graphed them. | asked as to wages and
they told me they were paid about so cents
for ten or eleven hours work underground.
The men are brought up in the mines and
are skilled in the handling of ore.
The mining company that owns this
mountain OF minerals has three different
properties, all of which are producing silver
and tin. 1t has hundreds of miners and
keeps $50 women at work. The Oruro
mines have always paid WE'LL and today they
are producing good dividends | visited
them when I was here some years ago, be-
fore the railroad to La Paz had yet been
constructed. The fuel then used was the
llama manure, brought in by caravans from
all over the country
1t took four tons of that stuff to run the
40 horsepower engine "a hours, and I re-
member going with one of the managers of
the mine into the pit where the fuel was
stored. 1t then contained SO, 900 pounds of
llama droppings. The stuff looked like gray
bullets or gravel; it was as dry as bone and
gave forth no smell.
Today the company is using coal at a cost
of about $50 a ton. 1t has installed the
most modern machinery, and it is saving
money by employing anthracite gas engines
that give 70 per cent fuel efficiency, using
one pound and a half of anthracite per
horsepower per hour. This saves a great
deal in a region where the coal freights from
the seacoast are from SIS to $50 per ton.
[ have already written of the mines Of
Potosi that were opened up by the Span
ards. Since their beginning they have pro-
duced three or four billion dollars worth of
silver, and it is now thought millions of dol
lare more were thrown away in the tin
which was mixed with the silver. The peo-
pie did not understand the value of the baser
metal. They could not realize that it might
some day be worth $1l0O ton, which has
been its selling price within the past year,
although it is now very much less. So they
took out the silver and left the tin on the
dumps, whence it has been washed away by
the streams All this is changed and the
great profit is now in the tin, the Potosi
owners having originated a syndicate to
operate the property on a silver basis. They
will work the mines almost solely for tin and
will capitalize them larger, on their fame in
the past as silver producers.
There are other tin mines OF enormous
value in the Potosi district La Salvatore
has produced as much as 100000 pounds
of pure tin in a month, and the Uncia mines
are now yielding more than half million
pounds of that mineral every II hours. The
Uncia mines are the property of Simon l.
Patno, who might be called the tin king of
the world. He is worth many millions, and
it all comes from tin
1t is only few years ago that Patino was
a poor clerk, working for a few dollars a
month He had Indian blood in his veins,

and then washed out in streams of water by
the Indian women. Much Of this ore so
treated carried from 40 to so per cent of
metallic tin; the lower grades were rejected
because they would not pay for the labor.
Before leaving the subject of Bolivian
mining | would say that the future of the
country depends largely upon the passage
OF the laws advocated by the president and
congress- Just now the protection of min
ing investments in Bolivia is not so good az
IN Peru. There is a regular business in the
contesting of titles by the lawyers, and In
hght1ng for mines that other men own.
am told that there many SINISTER LAWYERS
and others who make a practice of LAYING
claims to every mine supposed to be good
and OF contesting its title as soon as it is de-
nounced. Said one of the leading railroad
men of Bolivia to me yesterday.
Il might go to the heart of the baclewoods
in the eastern part of this country and Law
claim to mine hundred miles from where
any white man eyer trod. If did so ven
ture that within two days after that mine
was matter of record there would be
half dozen applications filed, disputing nv
title and swearing that the contestant had
record proof that he owned it, This is espe-
clally so of any mine, thought to be good,
and that even long after the mine has been
prohtably worked Not long ago the engi-
neers of the largest American copper syn
dictate came to La Paz and spent six months
looking over the ground. They found plen-
ty OF good prospects, but refused to invest
under the present laws and went over the
border to Chile, where they could be sure
of their titles.
Zone has also to watch the papers that his
own lawyers prepare making his claim"
this man continued 81 know of one case
in which big proposition was almost lost
by an error in the description. The lawyer
in giving the feet or meters from certain
point used the word northeast where he
should have used the word north When
the error called to his attention he said
it was slip of the pen, but had it been so
recorded it would have resulted in vitiating
the title to a property worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars. / have no doubt that
that error was intentional and that with
view to lawsuit in the future"
Moreover, any large property taken up by
a Gringo is sure to have four or five contests
filed against it by people who wish to en-
barrass the owner, and who expect to be
bought off before they will relinquish their
suit I know of case in which Bolivian,
who has been successfully operating min
ing property for years, went to London and
sold his mine to a British syndicate on the
basis that the title was clear. When he re-
turned he found that five different suits had
been filed, claiming the mine, and it cost .

The tin ore lies in veins between layers of
rock 1t is the meat Of mighty stone sand
witch that has to be blasted out and carried
to the surface. There the great chunks of
tin and rock are broken to pieces and sorted
over by Indian women, who pick out all the
ore that will pay to be sent away for reduc-
ton.
During my stay here l visited this mine
Back of the buildings containing the ma
chinery of its main works are mounds of
broken stone and piles of valuable ore. The
mounds look like gravel. They are the
waste OF the mine. having only about l per
cent of the metal. The good ore looks like
that of silver or lead. 1t is so dull in color
that no one would imagine that it could pro-
duce the shine one finds on a new dishpan
or wash boiler.
| spent some time watching the Indian
women at work. The ore comes out in
chunks, some of which are ten times as big
as your head. The women break the chunks
into pieces with heavy steel hammers and
pick out the bits that contain tin and silver.
They have faces the color of copper, and as
they sit on the ground pounding away their
black bare feet and rosy bare calves can be
seen showing out from under their very full
skirts. They are dirty and frowsy and their
hair and bodies form the homes of unmen-
tionable insects They are muscular Their
continual pounding gives them large arms
and they are noted for the size of their BIZ
ceps. They keep at the job from daylight
to dark, and their earnings are about so
cents of our money. They are paid by the
amount that they do and it was with diff

and it has such vast depos-
its of that mineral that it will some day
drive the mines of Malaysia and Cornwall
out of existence. Tin is found almost every
where in the western chain of the Andes 1t
is mined on the high slopes about Lake Tit
caca, and there are great tin deposits in the
main ranges or the Cordllera Real and its
numerous spurs. Right here in the heart of
the Bolivian plateau eight hours ride by
train from La Paz, is a tin mine, out of
which they have been taking the ore for
generations The mine has tunnel that
starts into it out of the very heart Of the
city, and one has to walk through this less
than half mile before he comes to the
workings These have been extended to a
depth of 700 feet, with solid tin all the way.
No one knows how far down the ore goes.
The mine was worked by the Spaniards for
silver, but later on changed from silver to
tin and the bulk of the product is now in
that metal.
