Geol. Surv. of California. (Geology), Vol. 1, 1865, Philadelphia, pp. 180-181. 

 Synopsis of the field work from 1860-1864. 



During 1860-1861 the Temescal range was a scene of great excitement on the 

 subject of tin. Description of the ore and its occurrence given.

Mg. Journ. Railw. Comm. Gaz., Vol. 81, 1907, London, p. 305. Also, Can. Mg. Rev., 

 Vol. 28, 1907, Montreal, pp. 39-40. 



Reports discovery of tin near New Ross, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. Only 

 slight development, and economic value is unknown. Tin is found in small quantities 

 in numerous other localities in Canada. States that tin has been discovered in 

 Laurentian rocks in Greenland. 



225. BETTS, A. G. Electrolytic lead-refining. 



Trans. Amer. Inst. Mg. Eng., Vol. 34, 1903, New York, pp. 180. 



Tin is found in electrolytically refined lead at Trail, B. C., to the extent of 0.02 

 per cent. A number of analyses given show from 0.0012 to 0.0140 per cent of tin. 

 Small amounts of Cu, Bi, As, Sb, Ag, Au, Fe and Zn are found in the bullion. 



226. BROCK, R. W. Tin in British Columbia. 



Summ. Rep. Geol. Surv. Dep. Canada for 1902 (1903), Ottawa, p. 130. 



" Tin is reported to have been found near Long Lake, British Columbia, but no 

 information could be obtained regarding the exact locality. It is quite possible 

 that traces may occur in connection with the intrusions of granite rock in that 

 part of the district. But no alterations of these rocks were observed, such as take 

 place where tin occurs in commercial quantities." (Whole ref.) 



227. FAIRIBAUI/T, E. RODOLPHE. Lunenberg County, Nova Scotia. 



Summ. Rep. Geol. Surv. Dep. Canada for 1907 (1908), Ottawa, pp. 80-82. 



Tin oxide was found in sand at Tangier in 1868, and later at Shelbourne, Raw- 

 don and Country Harbour in drift. 



On the Reeves claim at New Ross, tin is found in a pegmatite dike containing 

 large quartz crystals, and is accompanied by scheelite, wolframite, and amblygonite. 

 In the granites near New Ross, besides the minerals named there have been found 

 monazite, one of th" columbite minerals, durangite, lepidolite, hiibnerite, molybdenite,' 

 zinc blende, beryl, apatite, tourmaline, fluorite, pyrolusite, manganite, limonite, 

 hematite, magnetite, siderite, bismuthinite, argentiferous galena, copper, iron 

 pyrites, and arsenical pyrites. Quartz crystals reach 27 inches long and 10 inches 

 thick. 



The amount of tin so far shown seems to be insignificant. Traces of tin were 

 found in pegmatite 6 miles south of Reeves claim. Bismuthinite and molybdenite 

 were found in a dike of quartz and aplite 1 mile south of New Rosa corner. 



Tungsten and rare-earth ores were found 1 mile east of New Ross corner. (See 

 Report for 1906, p. 91.)

Ann. Rep. Geol. Surv. Canada, n. s., Vol. 12, 1899 [1902], Ottawa, pp. 16 R-17 R. 

 Small pebbles of wood-tin found in all tributaries of the Klondike River, most 

 frequently in Bonanza and Hunter creeks.
