Considered most sparingly distributed metal in common use. Workable deposits of 

 gold cover 1,500,000 square miles, while tin deposits cover less than 125,000 square 

 miles. Gold is, or has been obtained in nearly every country in the world, while tin 

 comes from not more than a dozen different districts. 



1294. . Tin. 



New Volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 10th Edition, Vol. 33, 1902, London, 

 pp. 346-347. 



" Primary deposits of tin are in or closely connected with granite or acid eruptive 

 rocks of the same type, associated with tourmaline, fluorspar, topaz, wolfram and 

 arsenical pyrites, and the invariable gangue being quartz." Bolivia is the only 

 exception, " where the tin ore occurs intimately associated with silver ores, bismuth, 

 ores and various sulphides, whilst the gangue includes barytes and certain carbonates." 



Over % of the world's tin is from secondary alluvial deposits. Cornwall and 

 Bolivia deposits all in veins. Small portion of that yielded by Australia from veins. 

 Methods of smelting.
