This is an introduction to a brief study of Mineralogy, only such minerals being chosen, however, as are commonly met with in the field, which, as well as the rocks, are iNustrated by pictures which assist in identification. This leads naturally to the study of: ore deposits, to which several chapters, lib- erally illustrated, are devoted. Prospec ting for veins=and placers is then dis cussed at length. The work of the mining expert in ex amining and sampling mining property is described in detail, anda chapter is Kiven to miners’ tricks in salting mines There is also a very useful chapter on how to sharpen and tem per prospectors’ tools hen follows a series of chapters des cribing the main prospecting and mining fielas of North America, fully illustra ting what has preceded, and containing much useful information for intending prospectors , The last chapter is by no means the least useful, as it contains such mining laws as intimately relate to the prospec- tor’s business. : The work is not only remarkable for its simplicity and clearness, but also—if we may use the term—for its actuality, as nearly every example given is from | the personal experience of the author, or | from those of prospectors he has met with, while he has drawn the sketches from nature while on the ground. It is just the book for the prospector at his camp-fire, the miner in bis cabin, or the investor in search of bonanzas. Sent by mail to any part of the world upon receipt of the price, 81.
