" From an interesting article by Frochot, printed in " Annales des Mines," we 

 extract the points which may be the most directly useful to national [i. e. Peruvian] 

 mining; although the metal referred to has only been known to exist in the 

 department of Puno, it will not be strange if some day, owing to the mineral 

 wealth of the Peruvian soil, tin may be found as a result of new explorations, in 

 conditions where it can be conveniently worked." Then follow extracts from 

 Froehot's article.
