﻿NOTABLE 
  ARRIVALS 
  OF 
  MINERALS. 
  

  

  Three 
  Experienced 
  Collectors 
  have 
  devoted 
  their 
  time 
  during 
  July 
  to 
  

   securing 
  new 
  supplies 
  of 
  minerals 
  for 
  us. 
  — 
  Mr. 
  Atkinson 
  of 
  our 
  firm 
  

   has 
  been 
  in 
  Europe, 
  Mr. 
  Niven 
  of 
  our 
  firm 
  in 
  Mexico, 
  and 
  our 
  regular 
  

   collector 
  has 
  been 
  at 
  work 
  in 
  the 
  most 
  promising 
  Colorado 
  localities. 
  It 
  

   is 
  not 
  surprising, 
  therefore, 
  that 
  we 
  can 
  announce 
  this 
  month 
  as 
  having 
  

   witnessed 
  the 
  receipt 
  not 
  only 
  of 
  the 
  largest 
  accessions 
  ever 
  made 
  to 
  

   our 
  stock, 
  but 
  probably 
  the 
  finest 
  also.
