Extract From the Preface; In the following pages we have attempted to present such a view of the whole subject of prospecting for the oseful minerals that any liberally educated reader may fully comprehend our meaning. We have therefore explained special terms where we have bought 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, yriU make reference to any subject in the volume easy and satisfactory. 44 engravings. 175 pages l**SO Ftr Salt by David Wllllaait; Dt-f 92 Raada St.,N.Y, j .IRdNAND5TEELWrRE“^ALLKiHD5.

If a buyer knows what he is getting it’s another matter, but generally he dnes not know. The majority of plates imported noware below the standard weight. What per cent, of these weight plates reach the buyer with nothing to indicate that they are light? As a matter of fact, they are frequently sold as full weight plates, billed as such and paid for as such, j Is it right? In the long run will it pay any one to be concerned in the transaction ? We think not. Once in a while we lose an order because our price for full weight plates is higher than that quoted by someone else. Nobody in America can or will duplicate our goods at a less price than we ask. When a lower price is quoted, is it pn a lower grade or for a lighter weight ? . • w S^me makers and dealers sell light weight tin as light weight tin. That’s all right, and nobody is deceived. We can’t possibly make a “mistake” about weights. When you get an extra light price and order on the strength of it— better weigh the plates. Jb PHILADELPHIA, NEW YORK. CHICAGO. ^BROOKLYN.

THE WORKS MANAGER'S HANDBOOK OF MODERN RULES, TABLES AND DATA -For Civil and Mechanical Engineers, Millwrights and Boiler Makers; Tool Makers, Machinists and Metal Workers; Iron and Brass Founders, etc., etc. by WALTER S. HUTTON, CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER. The Author having been in the habit of compiling Rules and Data for his own use in the construction of a great varied of modern Engineering Work, and having found his notes extremely useful, decided to publish them, after revising them to date, believing that a practical work, suited to the Daily Requirements of Modem Engineers, would be favorably received by the public. The rapid sale of the previous Editions, and the continued favor the Work has received, show that it has been of considerable service to Engineers. In issuing a Fourth Edition, many alterations and improvements have been made, including the following amongst other additions, viz,: New matter relating to Steam Engines—Q-as Engines—Pumps—Water Supply, etc., etc. Sent, Post-paid, on Receipt of Price, by DAVID WILLIAMS, - - - Publisher and Bookseller, 96-102 Reade Street, New York.
