" Ore is not ' stream tin ' in true sense of the word; but the disintegration of 

 veins and strings running through the porphjTitic rock, of which the mount is com- 

 posed, gives rise to a shallow surface-drift from which the tin-ore is procured. 

 Lodes in adjacent slaty rocks contain antimony and zinc blende." (Mt. Bischoff.)
