The following is an extract from the prospectus of tho Ban Jacinto Tin Mining Company of Calfornia, composed exclusively of Englishmen: “Metallic tin can be produced froiil Tfemescal (San Jacinto) ores at a cost not exceeding £25 per ton. Based on a daily output of 200 tons of ore, yielding 10 per tent. of*.metalhc tin costing £25 per lon and sold at £95 per ton, the Cajalco mine alone (the lode from which the company is now taking ore) would produce a yearly profit of £420,000, or nearly double the total profit from all the mines in Cornwall. ” Our lord high tariff maker put a duty of 4 cents a pound pn tin, to take effect in July, 1893, and here thes3 Englishmen are showing how they can make over £2,000,0G0 a year out of their ( allfornia tin mine. Yet, says McKinley, “it is an American bill; it is not a European bill. ”
