Alluvial tin was first discovered in Herberton district, North Queensland, " some- 

 time ago," and afterwards rich deposits were found on Wild River. Older alluvial 

 deposits were later discovered in the Herberton lowland, at Watsonville, Irvinebank, 

 and still later, very rich and extensive tin ore deposits were found in Silver Valley 

 near Herberton. The ores of these deposits contain on an average, 4 per cent of 

 bismuth, 3 to 8 per cent of copper and considerable tungsten. The tin-bearing terri- 

 tory has now been shown to extend over an area of 12,000 square miles.
