they were begging for assistance, a
large mass of driftwood swept down

One of the worries of an antiquarian

One of the worries of an antiquarian
or mining collector is what shall be-
come of his precious accumulation
when he passes beyond the range.
Frequently his heirs do not fully ap-
preciate the value of the dusty stones
or crystals that adorn the cabinet OF
the deceased who may have been col
lecting them all his life from distant
places to which the railroad fare Of
ten is considerably less than the mar
ket value of the specimen. Not that
the rock or crystal has great economic
value. but because its occurrence in
the peculiar form is rare and the de-
mand greater than the supply Often
personal sentiment also becomes an
equation of value between seller and
buyer; this trait has probably been in
herited from our forefathers who cher
ished curios on account of their I'M
ique associations whether of person
Or place.
In recent years more attention has
been given to the collection of miner
ais. common and rare. Occasionally
individuals sell or bequeath their cab
inets to museums or educational insti-
tutions. Recently JOHN ID. Rockefel-
Ter gave to the University of Chicago
one of the nnest private collections
of minerals in America. The collec-
ion is that of the late Prof. James
Hail. state geooeist of New York, and
was valued by him at S150,0oO.
An important accessory to a well
managed mining school is good col
lection of minerals. Tuition by objects
imprints on the mind of the student
facts which are often hard to explain
verbally. or even difficult 10 understand
from textbooks. Consequently. mos
of our technical institutions are ac
cumulating specimens by purchase
gratuitous donation. or by students il
the summer schools which make eXcur
sions to mining districts.
We would suggest that miners scrr
tinize more carefully the minerals the
shovel on the dump as worthless be
cause they do not contain the preciOu
metals. Perhaps the peculiarly form
ed rock Or crystal thrown away a
waste may have the merit Of maxim
