THE PLACER TIN IS \
 NUISANCE TO MINERS

Placer tin has been found with the placer gold in the grayels of Sullivan creek in the Rampant dis trict, Alaska. The tin is in smooth ly rounded pebbles of casslterite, or o.ide of tin, and the area in whicl tin is found is less than mile long. In the richest spots as mucL as half a pound of tin to the pan is reported, which at the pres ent value Of the ore would give the ground 8 value of SIS to $2O per yard. The gold and tin has tray elIed together as where one is found in greatest quantity the other is in like proportion. The tin is regard ed as nuisance by the miners as it is difficult to separate from the gold. With cheaper transportation the miners would realize as much from the tin as from the gold.
