i OKE Qi* £S BELIEF. I 



SEE THAT 

 ARROW? 



That is the size of the beautiful Ore- 

 gon, New Mexico and Arizona points 

 of Chalcedony, Obsidian and Jasper 

 found in those states. 



Give reference and you can get a few 

 on selection postpaid one way. 



Have 10,000 flint arrows and spears 

 from a dozen states. 



I have recently found some white 

 Chalcedony Geodes in the Bad 

 Lauds, South Dakota that are different 

 and more elegant than any I ever saw 

 from any part of the world. They are 

 rarities, in size from a hen's egg to a 

 goose egg and lined with brilliant spark- 

 ling, frost-like white crystals; a few 

 amethystine tinted and a few with tran- 

 sparent selenite, and others like snow. 

 I will send them postpaid for 25, 35 and 

 50 cents. Small ones unopened 10 and 

 15 cents. 



You never had any Geodes in your 

 collection as handsome. 



Minerals from all parts of the 

 world, especially the Black Hills and 

 the west.

 Weapons from many nations.

Something New. 



Here You Have It. 



Those Giant Serpent Starfish. 



They have arms from 4 to 5 inches in 

 length and not much over \ inch in 

 thickness at base, tapering to a point. 

 Not rigidly straight but gracefully 

 curved. Truly their name is approp- 

 riate, Ophioderma i e: Snake skin, and 

 longicanda i e long tail. Nothing else 

 we have ever seen approaches them in 

 their order, either in size or perfectness. 

 Have been listed at 75 cents, but for a 

 short time we will send a fine one pre- 

 paid at 50 cents. Address, 



Ernest H. Short, Albion, N. Y.
