WE DISCOVERED 



That the material contained in those six cases of Cumberland minerals merited 

 a fuller description than previous space in advertisements permitted. They were 

 somewhat slow in arriving, and unpacking:, washing and pricing takes time — so 

 that July 16th rather than July 1st found them ready for your inspection. In 

 spite of the continued high temperatures, we will endeavor to make our visitors 

 as comfortable as ice-water and electric fans allow ; however, such apparatus is 

 not required to assure your appreciation of our stock of 



Single Crystals. Many types of Barite with interesting modifications, color- 

 ing and translucency. The latter feature is perhaps most noticeable — unless it be 

 the rare perfection of the individual specimens. No end of sizes, with prices 

 attached which are veritably surprising. Fifty or seventy-five cents buys crystals 

 which ordinarily would be hard to duplicate for twice the figures. Modified Cal- 

 cites, long and ■ slender, of beautiful quality, at similar rates. Complete cubes of 

 Fluorite, from IJ inches square up to four and five inches. These are by no 

 means common, but our stock represents an assortment nowhere to be equalled. 



Groups in all sizes, adapted for museum representation or private cabinets. 

 Purple Fluors, many crystals measuring three to five inches across, in- some 

 instances coated with Quartz or Siderite, are among the most attractive of the 

 larger specimens, although several of the " phantomed " Barite groups are of 

 equal interest. Fluorites for open case display can be selected from a stock vary- 

 ing between $2.00 and $25.00, while Barites for similar purposes range from $1.50 

 to $20.00. Drawer specimens of either mineral, unusually choice examples, 50c. 

 to 82.00. 



Quartz after Gypsum with Lutecite. The pseudomorph is not the least 

 interesting feature in connection with the previously described Lutecite specimens. 

 Their locality, "Yaugirard, Paris," entitles them to some distinction, aside from 

 the classification given in Dana's Appendix. $2.00 to $4.00. 



URUGUAY " WATER STOKES." 



Several of these curious formations were recently purchased, and at the values 

 affixed will quickly find buyers. In appearance they resemble an ordinary Chal- 

 cedony geode, with an almost botryoidal surface, beneath which can be distin- 

 guished the rapidly moving bubbles. As an inclusion they are highly desirable, 

 for on slightly shaking, the liquid can be heard running in and out through the 

 emptied cavities. They had been kept by the former owner for over seven years — 

 and never changed the least. $6.00 and $8.00. 



YOU ARE CORDIALLY OYITED 



To call at our new store in Paris, if you intend visiting that city during the cur- 

 rent year, or at some future date. Opening in May, we have endeavored to make 

 our drawers and cases look as attractive as the fine stock and new furnishings will 

 permit, especially for the many visitors expected during the Exposition Season. 

 Within the grounds we are represented under. the American Sections of the Mines 

 and Mining Building and the Educational Departments (Groups XL and XII.). 

 Every consideration will be cheerfully shown to friends and patrons interested.
