The tin at Wheal Prosper, Cornwall, is doubtless the lowest grade of any in the 

 world, yet is being worked with profit. Ore runs 3 pounds black tin per ton of 

 ore, or about 0.13 per cent. Prof. C. Le Neve Foster gives following reasons: 



1. Rock soft and friable, easily stamped. 



2. Tin in large grains, hence fine stamping is not necessary. 



3. The light specific gravity of substances mixed with tin, make separation by 

 water easy. 



4. There is water power at command.
