Tin has recently been re-discovered in various parts of Argentina. Deposits 

 were formerly exploited by Jesuits, who obtained tin from the outcrops of the 

 veins for bell metal. Cassiterite occurs in small crystals in granulite near 

 Tinogasta (Catamarca), at the village of Mazan. In La Rioja Province, close to 

 the Catamarca frontier, a company is at work with 100 miners on a stockwerk 

 of small veins occurring in altered granulite dikes. Surface ore gave 7 per cent 

 tin, but in depth the per cent fell to 1 and IVz. Mining is cheap and easy; the 

 countrj' is fairly watered, well wooded and fertile.

Tin, gold, silver, coppper and lead deposits reported in departments of Chicoana 

 and La Poma, Province of Salta, Argentine Republic. Bismuth was worked in 

 1889 in a ravine called Agamillos. Vein said to be six and a half feet wide and 

 forty-four yards deep.

States tliat cassiterite was found some years since near Tinogasta, Catamarca. 

 After a few tons were mined the vein pinched out. Stream tin had recently been 

 found in a small stream at Mazan, northeast of Chilecito, 6 miles from the frontier 

 line of Catamarca.

 " According to Hermann, native tin occurs in the gold washings of the Ural 

 (Central Asia) in small gray metallic grains containing also some lead."
