Overview

Excerpt from Minerals and How They Occur: A Book for Secondary Schools and Prospectors It is hoped that the book will, in some measure at least, meet the needs of the general rezder and the prospector for minerals, as well as those pf the student in the secondary schools. We have tried to make the study, as fares possible, an outdoor one, end to draw the reader's attention to minerals and rocks which he can obtain in most neighborhoods, and to descriptions of phenomena which he can verify for himself. Owing to the fact that volcanic action, mountain structure, or even exposures of compact rock in place, and other phenomena. On which much stacss is laid in many elementary books, cannot all be studied in most populated districts, the refer ences to some of them are brief. We have also sought to explain in a practical way such terms as are commonly m'et with in the daily press or in ordinary periodical literature.
