The most important old Cornish custom guaranteed by these courts, was that the "free tinâ€" ners" had the right to work upon renâ€" dering the "tollâ€"in" generally oneâ€"fifâ€" teenth of the produce, to the owner of the mine or the lord of the manor. Near Seaside Resort The chief centres of the mining inâ€" dustry are Redruth and Camborne, which were united into a single urban area in 1934. Redruth is 440 feet above seaâ€"level, and, though in the heart of ' Mining Rules Codified From the earliest days tin was mined under stringent and peculiar rules, which were later codified and enforced by the celebrated Stannary Courts. Ancient characters exempted the tin workers from all ordinary jurisdiction, except in cases affecting land, life or llimb, putting them solely under the «control of the Stannaries. The first character to embody the rules of the Stannary Courts was that of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, but it is impossible to say how far back they go before the days of that nobleman. Twentyâ€"four stannators represented the whole of Cornwall,. Their meeting was called at Par’.ment, and was the first held on Hingston Down, a stretch of highway on the Cornish side of the Tamar. Later, these Parliaments asâ€" sembled in Truro, Cornwall‘s cathedral city. A tax on tin, after smelting, was forâ€" merly paid â€"toâ€"the Duke of Cornwall,. the â€"eldest son of the reigning king. The smelted blocks had to be stampedâ€" with the Duchy seal before they could be sold. These dues were abolished in 1838, and compensation was made to| the Duchy in their place. | The stone circles of Boskedan, Bosâ€" cawenâ€"un, and Tregeseal are also faâ€" mous, and point to Cornwall‘s being inhabited long ‘before the curtain of authentic history was rung up. The tin trade has endured many periods of severe trial, particularly ~just before the accession of Queen Elizabeth in the sixteenth century. Elizabeth reâ€" vived the industry by bringing over German miners. Tin is one of the oldest British indusâ€", tries. It was mined in England cenâ€" turies before Julius Caesar landed on the south coast, two thousand years ago. It led to very early settlement of the country round Land‘s End. Evidence of this is proved by the numerous preâ€" historic remains in this part of Cornâ€" wall. Among the more important megaâ€" lithic monuments are those at Layton, Mulfra, Chyn and Zennor. It is estimated that £210 is roughly the lowest price per ton at whichâ€"tin can profitably be mined in Cornwall. At the end of 1927, tin was fetching £265 a ton, but by 1930 it had declined to £116. It rose to £148 in 1932, but did not teuch the £210 mark until 1935. A year later it stood at £2833, and in the early part of 1937 it rose rapidly to over £300. It has since fluctuated considerâ€" ably, but has remained much higher than the prices obtained during recept years. Thousands Once Employed In 1820, 80 per cent. of the world‘s tin came from Cornwall, and for the next 70 years the industry employed 250,000 men. But by 1930 this number had dwindled to less than 1500. At varâ€" lous times 2000 mines have been sunk, but of these only about 300 are active now, while fewer than half a dozen of those still left are important. coath, near Cambourne. This was ownâ€" ed by the Basset family, whose home, Tehidy, became a golf course some years ago. Dolcoath was ofiginally mined for copper, and then was tried for tin. In the last 100 years £7,000,000 worth of metal has been excavated within half a mile of the surface.

"The incident occurred at the lake situated on Mr. Bradette‘s 400â€"acre farm, a few miles from Cochrane, where he spends his summers in furâ€" thering his studies. Two children stayâ€" ing at the farm are said to have dived into the lake from the swimming raft into deep water and the young girl, who was not a very strong swimmer got into difficulties. Despatches from Cochrane last week told of the practical heroism of Joseph A. Bradette, M.P. for this riding, and the fact that he himself had a narrow escape from drowning while attempting to rescue a little girl in difficulties. while swimming in the lake. Mr. Braâ€" dette, who is a good swimmer, woulid have had no trouble in rescuing the girl, had not a boy who was a good swimmer become alarmed of the girl‘s danger and in his panic grappled with Mr. Bradette, giving the Member for Cochrane two to save instead of one, as well as jeopardizing his own life. 1 One despatch in referring to the matâ€" ter, gives the following idescription:â€" Jos.
