About 60 per rent of the world's supply of tin comes from Straits Settlement. In 

 the past most of it has been obtained from alluvial deposits, and while the placers 

 appear to be unfailing, much attention is now given to lode mining. Alluvial mining 

 is carried on largely on the west side of the Peninsula, while lode mining is confined 

 to east side.

 geology. Describes tin lodes of Kuantan (Sungei Lembing) ; Bundi, Kemaman; 

 Machi tin field; mines in the Main Range, including the Telom district, Tras, Ben- 

 tong, Gunong Gapis, Bukit Frascr and neighboring places; Chin Chin and Tanjong 

 Serai, Malacca; stockwoiks at Bruseh and Tanjong Malini; tin ore in limestone at 

 Changkat Pari, Ayer Dangsang, Siak and Jesophat's Valley; alluvial mines of Trench 

 and Sungei Besi, Perak.

Tlie Ayer Dangsang pipe changed at a depth of 170 feet to a vein 5 to 6 feet 

 thick with the same mineral association — abundant sulphides in a calcite matrix, 

 with fluorite and a little quartz. In the Lahat pipe the original calcite and sulphides 

 were dissolved and after a partial concentration the pipe was recemented witli cal- 

 cite from the limestone walls. 



Scheelite with abundant tourmaline, a little pyrito, traces of copper and arsenic, 

 occur in a quart?, vein at SaJak North, Perak. Scheelite occurs in a number of Pahang 

 tin mines. 



Cassiterite occurs with tremolite in a pipe at Lahat. Describes a stockwork of 

 minute veins which is a type of many deposits in the Kledang Range.
