I received the highest award given to any cue at the Centennial Exposition for 1876, and the only award and medal 

 given to any American for *' Collection of Minerals. " 



My Mineralugical Catalogue of 50 pages is distributed free to all customers, to others on receipt of 10 cents. It ia 

 profusely illustrated, and the printer and engraver charged me about $90il,00 before a copy was struck off. By means of 

 the table of species and accompanying tables most species may be verihed. The price list is an excellent check list, 

 containing the names of all the species and the more common varieties, arranged alphabetically and preceded by the 

 species number. The species number indicates the place of any mineral in the table of species; after it will be found 

 the 8pecie< name, comiiosition, streak or lustre, cleavage or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, fusibility and crystal- 

 lization. I have very many species not on the price list , and some that I had in 1876,are no longer iu stock. 



COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS 



For Stiideiits, Amateurs, Profcssars, Pbysicians, »nd otber Professional 9Ien. 



The coUectioBB of 100 illustrate all the priucipal species and all the grand subdivlsione in Dana and other works on 

 Mineralogy; every Crystalline System; all the principal Ores and Miuerala in which have been found every known 

 Element, The coUlectious are labeled with printed label that can only be removed by soaking. The labels of the $5.00 

 and higher priced collections give Dana's species number, the name, locality, and in moat cases, the composition of th© 

 Mineral. All collections accompanied by my Illustrated Catalogue and table of Bpecies. The sizes given are average ; 

 Bome smaller, many larger. 



I have now over thirty-five tons, and over $40,000 worth of Minerals mostly crystallized, in stock. It is well recog- 

 nized that my pjices are lower and my specimens more accurately labeled thau those of any other dealer in th» country. 

 This is mainly due to the immense stock I carry (the largest in minerals of any In the country) and my system of printed 

 labels attached to the specimens. I can refer to the following Gentlemen and Colleges, all of whom, with th jusands of 

 others, have bought specimens of me; most of them have given me especial permission to use their names as reference.

 mentioning that I have be^n a coUector of Minerals for fifteen years ; that I was a student under Prof. \S olcott GibM. »'
