at the Newton mill. These are made
in the most accurate saving manner

welcome. 1t is not expecting the
choicest samples but wants those that
will show up our mineral resources
in proper manner. Rare samples
will be gladly accepted but the basis of
the exhibit is the average ore that
obtains in a mine. Every mine should
have specimen in this exhibit where
it can be seen by the visitors who
come into our midst.
