In addition to the tin and precious metals, there are great beds of excellent coal enough for all the smelteries and manufactories in the island. Next to the mines the sheep and cattle ranches bring the chief profits to Tasmania.
In the sandy crust of the heath there is iron, and swords and spears were the grim need of that day. The smelteries are only names now. They went, but they took the forests with them, and where the ground was cleared the west wind broke through, and ruin followed fast.
