The Tin Mines of New South Wales

Abstract

THE more rapid growth of the demand for tin than of the supply, and the disappointing failure of aluminium to replace tin for many purposes for which it was hoped to prove an efficient substitute, have led to the more careful study of the tin fields of the world and to an increase in the tin production by about a third in the first decade of this century. Mr. J. E. Came has added a monograph on the tin mines of New South Wales to the series of valuable monographs with which he has enriched the economic geology of Australia.
