The pure molten tin, freed from the slag aa It simmers in tho pit, looks like so muoh quioksilver. The pigs are like so many large bricks with one side rounded, and the other flat, the flat side having a broad rim or border. The explanation of this is that blocks of wood of precisely this shape are pressed into the sand or mud which forms tho natural floor of tho smelting houses. When these wooden molds are removod, of course corresponding holes remain, and into those holes the molten lead is ladled from the pit. It takes a whole day to cool sufficiently to get firm. When it has well set, it is lifted or dragged out of the holds with long rakes and dashed with water. After a little more cooling it is ready for shipment. At Perak in 1888 and at Maliwun in 1893 I found that four. or fivo Chinamen could turn out seven hundredwight of tin pigs a day, worth in 1893 about $140 in all. E. H. Parker in Chambers Journal.
