Excerpt from The Tin Deposits of the Carolinas On account of the value of the metal, tin, it is possible to work very low grade ores, if they are in quantity. Usually there is but little difficulty in cleaning and concentrating a tin ore so as to obtain a nearly pure product. The tin mineral that constitutes the ore is cassiterite, a tin oxide represented by the formula, Sn Oz, and is a heavy mineral, having a specific gravity of about to 7.

Excerpt from Tin Resources of the World Tin reserves of the world, exclusive of the and China, at a price be tween and per long ton pounds) of tin, are estimated to be at least long tons in 1970; tin resources of lower grade are estimated to be at least long tons. Reserves and resources of the and China together are estimated to be at least and long tons of tin, respectively. Thus, world reserves are ample to satisfy demand at a yearly rate of production of long tons of tin for about 31 years; resources should sustain production at a rate of long tons per year for an additional 56 years.

Excerpt from Tin Deposits Near Irish Creek, Virginia Mr. A. C. Ledoux and Professor W. O. Crosby; and to Mr. Moses Joy, of New Haven, Conn., for several interesting specimens of ore from the pros peets. Mr. F. L. Hess made a short visit to this district. In 1913, and has kindly placed his notes and specimens at the disposal of the writer. The Irish Creek tin district is in an isolated part of the Blue Ridge of Virginia. The nearest post - offices are Irish Creek, which is a short distance west of the tin deposits, and Montebello, in Nelson County, a few miles east of them. The district can be reached by roads that are passable except in very bad weather. The old mine may be reached from Arrington, on the Southern Railway, by a drive of 2-9 miles, or from Vesuvius, on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, by a drive of 12 miles. Accommodations may be had at the house of Mr. Sam Cash, about a mile west of the mine. In May, 1917, a logging railroad was under construction from the mouth of Irish Creek to a point near Irish Creek post - office.

Excerpt from The Tin Mines and the Mining Industries of Perak and Other Papers The duration of the Bronze Period is necessarily unknown, but it is conceded that it must have extended over a very considerable number of centuries. During it, man rose from a state of almost complete savagery to a comparatively high pitch of civilization. Writing was invented, and great advances made in many of the arts and manufactures; nearly all the animals we now keep were domesticated, and the cereals in cultivation, before the commencement of the Age of Iron. During this time, judging from the abundance of bronze objects of all kinds that have been found, large quantities of tin must have been used. It is considered that the sources from which it was derived were Spain, Britain and Malaya. In the early Iron Period the great navigators of the world were the Phoenicians, and it was they who took tin from England and Spain and the Islands of India to the centres of civilization. There was, however, some other race of navigators who preceded the Phoenicians and exceeded them in the extent of their commercial voyages. Who these people were is uncertain, but the recent investigations into the antiquities of America make it certain that they crossed the Atlantic Ocean and carried on intercourse between the Old World and the New. A few of the discoveries that have been made may be mentioned here, to Show the connection that exists between the old inhabitants of America and those of Europe and Asia. The stone and bronze implements are absolutely identical; the round towers, pyramids and coins are very similar; in both hemispheres embalming the dead, artificially deforming skulls, and the rite of circumcision were practised; and the most con vincing of all is, perhaps, that carved representations of elephants have been found in Central America, and veritable tobacco pipes, associated with prehistoric remains of a period very many centuries before Columbus re introduced the use of tobacco into Europ-, e have been found in Ireland. It is perhaps not improbable that these people, whose existence is recognised by both philologists and antiquarians, may have traded, like their successors the Phoenicians, with the lands of the East, as it is certain they did with those of the West.
