Note stating a new discovery of tin ore has been made at Hosainpura, State of 

 Palanpur. Mineral occurs in large distinct crystals, together with the mineral 

 gadolinite, as a constituent of tourmaline-pegmatite.

"Tin ore is found in the Hazaribdgh district of Chota Nagpur and other localities 

 of India proper, but it has only been worked to any extent in South Burma. The 

 total output in 1904 just exceeded 70- tons. It is sent to the Straits Settlements, 

 from which the greater part of the tin imported into India is obtained. The metal 

 is mainly employed in India to form a coating in the inside of copper cooking 

 utensils, which is renewed from time to time. The consumption shows no signs 

 of increase." (Whole Ref.)

 commercial value are situated in the Tenasserim division of British Burma.

Although ores of tin do occur in parts of the Indian Peninsula, there is at present 

 time no deposit large enough to warrant working to any great extent. Localities 

 where tin ore occurs are numerous. Mostly included in the strip of land in Tenas- 

 serim which extends from Y to Maleewoon, a distance of about 400 miles. Sources 

 of stream tin, which is found in the majority of rivers of this district, are in range 

 of hills separating British Tenasserim from Siam. An attempt was made by a 

 British company at Maleewoon to work deposits, but it resulted in loss. Working of 

 ore is carried on by Chinese, Shans a/id Burmese.

In Sept. 1903, tin ore was discovered at Hosainpura, Palanpur State. " Mineral 

 occurs in distinct, large crystals as a constituent of tourmaline-pegmatite together 

 with the mineral gadclinite."
