" Bmniyh is the great source of Indian tin supplies. In the Tenasseiim division, 

 tinstone is very plentiful, every strcani bed near Maliwun in Mergul yielding the 

 metal when washed. Dr. Oldham states main source of all the Tenasserim tin 

 is the pranito range separating province from Siam, where it exists as an 

 ci^sontial infrredient of the mass of rock."

In 1837 tin was discovered near Lake Loadut, about 110 miles north-northea.st 

 of Maulmain, and in 1840 the country nortli of the Pakchan River was reported 

 to be the richest stanniferous district within the Tenasserim provinces. Ore is 

 found in the debris of primitive rocks, and the range is said to be a continuation 

 of the Siamese tin district of Rinowng. In an hour and a half 11,889 grains of tin 

 were collected in the vicinity of the coal mines on Great Tenasserim River.

Mg. Journ. Railw. Comm. Gaz., Vol. 78, 1905, London, p. 247. 



Describes alluvial tin-bearing ground as covering an area nearly 2f>0 miles long 

 with an average breadth of about 40 miles along the water courses. At MaliwQn 

 both lode and alluvial mining is carried on. Veins are from 1 inch to 6 feet wide. 

 Mining is done in most primitive manner by natives. Climatic conditions are 

 favorable.

" Beyond some workings near Malce-wan on the Pakchan River, the ore is nowhere 

 systematically worked on a large scale within British territory. South of the 

 Pakchan stream the richness of the tin washings is derived from the degradatioH 

 of a stanniferous granite, in which the tinstone occurs as one of the integral 

 constituents of the rock."
