 associations of chrome, alumina, tungsten, molybdenum, &c., 

 with any particular base, detract from the individual arrange- 

 ment of these metals, but contribute to the number of ores 

 of the base upon which they have acted according to the 

 laws of nature. Now so long as we are to recognize the 

 existence of any of these metals as undecomposed bases, so
