Extract From the Preface: In the following pages we have attempted to present such a view of the whole subject of prospecting for the useful minerals that any liberally educated reader may fully comprehend our meaning. We have therefore explained special terms where we have thought it convenient to use them, and where the technically educated student would not need an explanation. The table of contents and index have both been carefully prepared, and being very full, will make reference to any subject in the volume easy and satisfactory. 44 engravings. 175 pages $1.50 For.Sale by DAVID WILLIAMS, 96-102 Reade St., N.Y Your Offices, Stores and Warehouses from fire burglars by using j Metallic Doors and Shutters || Made from wood and covered with Iron or steel, render- iug them stiiTand preventing warping in case of fire.
