NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1916. BOLIVIAN TIN IN THE UNITED STATES We Use More Metal Than Any The ally more gountry in the world. In fact, it con- imes more than the other five lead- ing tin-consuming countries, German France, Great Britain, Austria-Hun- 8 and Belgium combined. By far the greater portion of it goes into the manuf: ure of tin can h as those sed in canning tor nd other vegetables, fruits, salmon and meat produc and it because of this particular that the United States has heretofore bought very little of its tin supply from Bolivia, the greatest producer of tin in the Amer- icas Just why United tin States than consumes annu- does any other is use ore all the to which tin is put should have anything to do with the source of the supply is clearly set out in an article in the February num- ber of the Bulletin of the Pan Amer- an @nion, Washington, D. C., in Svhich the writer deals with the sub- ject of tin, its uses, the location of the greatest tin mines in the eastern world and incidentally explains why Bolivian tin has been so Jittle used in the United States and why the new electrolytic refining process will alter this state of affairs. He writes in part as follows: ‘Bolivia does not produce tin, but not the metal but the min- the chain between Bolivia and the United States there has been lacking the intermediate links which represent smelting and refining. True, there is some smelting done in Bo- livia, but the metal produced, being unrefined, is not of the quality that the' United States demands. Tin has many but these may be grouped under three general heads: First, as an unalloved metal; second as an al- loy with copper, zinc, antimony, lead, ind other metals; third, as a plating for iron, steel, copper and other more easily corroded metals. Under the first head tin is used in making certain pharmaceutical and scientific instru- ments, and tin foil. Under the sec- ond it is used in the production of bronzes, gun and bell metal, pewter, the whole group of so called white metals ete.,, its use as an alloy being almost unlimited. * * * ° “It is under the third grouping, tin 1s plating, that the great bulk of tin imports into the United States finds its employment. Common tin plate, as every one knows, is iron or steel rdinarily the latter, covered with a protecting coat of tin. The property which tin has of not tarnishing or rather of being in a high degree re- ent to the decomposing action of air water and the common acids and alkalies, is what gives the value to its nse as a protective coating for the easily corroded iron and steel. The strength and rigidity of the steel protected by the tin furnishes an al- most” {deal material for the fabri tion of all kinds of container Canning Industry Flourishe “It is the development of the can- ning industry in the United States which has created the demand for containers made of tin plate and con- sequently for tin itself with which to m#ike the tin plate. The United States uses in the canning industry, in the form of containers, as much tin plate as all the remainder of the world combined. According to the Mining World (Chicago), the importation of tin into the United States in 1914 | was 41,700 short tone and in 1915 it | amounted to 47,835 tons. ‘Between the ore in the mine and thes finished tomato can there are a number of metallurgical, industrial, and economic processes and conditions which must be understood in order to answer the question why Bolivian tin has heretofore not been extensively used in the United States. Tt is only a few years ago when nearly all the use tia ore, eral. In uses, GIVE FATHER JOH MEDICINE TO MY CHIL- DREN AND IT KEEP THEM WELL AND STRONG.” ey Ing a recent message from Cedar Rapids, Ia.

The development of the iron and steel industry has changed this condition, so that at present little or no tin plate is imported. This coun- try now makes all its plates and im- ports the tin with which to cover them. Now tin produced from Bo- livian ore by the former methods of smelting contains impurities which render it less suitable for tin plating than the tin from the ore of the Straits, One of the impurities which make it unsuitable for plating is iron, and from this impurity the Straits' tin is free. Feruginous tin, even though the iron content be ex ceeding small, will not readily adhere to steel and iron plates. Hence the United States was compelled to use the East Indian tin.

The loan takes the form of Russian treasury bills in denomination of 3,- 000 and 10,000 yven, and the rate of interest is five per cent. The bond are redeemable in one vear. The bonds will be issued at the rate of 95. Though the subscription list will be opened to the public, the syndi- cate of Japanese bankers interested in the loan does not seem to expect gen- eral support from the public, believ ing that the subscribers will be fined to the banking and insurance ciréles. In consequence an under- standing has been reached between the syndicate and the Bank of Japan that the latter will accept the bills as re-mortgage.
