formations and covering largo
territory, the prospector him rani
opportunity to Httidy minerals, and
oftliuoH does 11 knowledge of
mineralogy prove profitable.
111 ma mineral world more are
recognized upwanlH of unit tlioiiHliad
distinct nilnnrul species, many of
which, however, am exceedingly rare,
being nothing more than mineral
curiosities and only titled for Hut
cabinet. Others occur In a groat
varinty of forniH. Of the com
mercially valiiahlo minerals, thoMt
onm containing "hi various metals,
there ai aliout sovouty-llvo spoiccs

those, lint only whnii a man Ih wall

In tho gold ores there arc lira
tnllurido miniiralri that carry gold,
and oaoli specie Iiiih ii distinct appear
auoo from the other. These mlnuralH
aro calverlte, sylvonlto, potzlto,
niiKyglto mill krennerlte. There
aro m half dozen important ores
carrying silver, these being nrgoutlto,
proiiHtlto, pynirgyilo, corargyilo,
slophaullo mid sternherglto. In
copper mlnuralH here are at leant ton
thut the pronpector ought to know,
they holgu elmlcollo, chalcopyrtle,
