THE GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT
under charge of Prof. Saff,rd, assisted by
Chas. Fl. Stocked, who have arranged glass
cases for the smaller specimens on the
walls, the larger ores, such as blocks of iron
or copper ore, with coal, marble and bould-
ers being tastefully grouped on stands.
This department will embrace great va
riety Of minerals, wood etc, forming most
instructive and interesting study TO visitors,
but few of whom can realize the untold
wealth Of this character sea tered through
out Tennessee. Tne most c0aspcuous
minerals are many varieties of coal, iron
ores, copper, zinc and lead. One of the
features in this collection are several large
specimens of genuine Tennessee granite
and block Of gray marble from the east

the CustOm-house at Knoxville Is being
Constructed. The ores of copper, which
are in large masses, weighing each several
hundred pounds, embrace many varieties,
all Of which are rich in quality and besuti-

Ducktown mines, Polk county, and with
