" Tin is widely diffused from Maine to Alabama in Appalachian Range, exploited 

 from Dakota to California, but the mining of it so far has nowhere been sufficiently 

 remunerative to create a smelting industry."

 rence in Black Hills, at Temescal, York River, Virginia, North and South Carolina. 

 Compares United States deposits with those in different parts of the world.

 occurrence in Bolivia and Malay Archipelago. 



1208. HEADDEN, W. P. Mineralogical notes, No. III. 



Proc. Colorado Sci. Soc., Vol. 8, 1906, Denver, pp. 167-173. 



Pp. 167-168 give an analysis of cassiterite (credited to " Mecklenberg, N. C.," but 

 probably from further west or south in the tin belt), which contains SnO 2 95.18, 

 FeO, 1.11 and Ta 2 O 5 3.82. Sp. gr. 6.7671. Pp. 169-170: Cassiterite which he thinks 

 resulted from the decomposition of stannite, from the Etta mine, South Dakota, gave 

 Sn0 2 94.36, Ta 2 5 2.42, Fe 2 O 3 1.80, SiO 2 1.00. 



Analyses of cassiterite from Herbert's Placer and the Sammelias claim No. 3, 

 Pennington County, South Dakota, showed only iron and SiO 2 as impurities.
