Show THE NEW DISCOVERY the reported discovery die covery of a large vein of tin ore in the mountains skirting the eastern boundary line of this oily city his b caused great excitement hereabouts berea boata tux STANDARD expresses an earnest hope that the report will prove true upon investigation vesti gation and in saying this we dit die claim any intention of calling casting a doubt upon the authenticity of the rood good newa news if the rite can be mined from the mountains in this locality and if it shall prove to be one fourth as rich as claimed in this instance it means more fir than people generally are aware twenty one years ago as this writer well remembers and aa as scores of agdens old time citizens will also remember there was a areat tin excitement here based upon alleged discoveries of tin ore in the bime sime mountains where the present find is said to have been uncovered it will be recalled by those who were cognizant of the facts that for many weeks daring during the winter tin was the principal topic of conversation that a 6 small army of citizens were transformed for M ed into honest miners and betook retook th themselves eal selves to the mountains and with pick and shovel and powder dug dog up the dirt curt and shattered the adamantine rocks in a m mad ad rush for tin and a fortune to this Y very ery day the evidences of that exciting time are visible in the hundred prospect boles holes which were then driven whether any tin ore wan wag really found or whether what was supposed to be such merely bore a superficial resemblance to that scarce but much sought metal we do not know it is a fact though that with the coming of spring the excitement died oat the prospecting ceased and the claims were abandoned but bat in those days people did not know so much about tin or any other kinds of ores aa as they do ao tody today to dy day the worlds production of tin Is small in comparison with other metals ita ito chief use as all know Is for tinning plates the united states consumes more th than an halt half of the tin tinplate plate which is made bat but the tin tia ores have not heretofore been mined milled extensively in this country now however there Is a prospect that prospecting and mining for this desirable ore will be carried on ou vigorously that the reins veins known to exists will be systematic system ati cally cilly worked and that other deposits will be discovered in miny many new now localities although foreign tin comes into this country duty free it would nevertheless be a great saving if we were able to produce enough for homa home consumption i ion we believe that that desirable result will have hav been accomplished by the time we are able ble to fully supply the home market with tin plate which ff will ill be in less than four years from this dace date oar readers are familiar with the tact fact that tin mines are baing baan worked la california and that tin is 13 alsa being aued there also
