Description of Peninsula, geology and minerals. Tin and gold the only metals in 

 deposits of commercial importance. Tin deposits mostly alluvial, bedrock is Raojin, 

 or rarely, shale or limestone, upon which is the stanniferous gravel from a few inches 

 to 80 feet thick. A little lode mining is being carried on in Kuantan; in Pahang 

 and at Bundi, in Tringganu. At Kuchai, in Selangor, also at Sungei Rin in Jelebu 

 leaders and veinlets of tin ore have been .found in a " greisen " similar to occur- 

 rences in Saxony and Bohemia. Thinks discovery of veins may have great future 

 results.
