IT is the aim of this little book to furnish severely simple, but fully dependable, means by which any one can determine the useful minerals.

Absolutely no skill is required to carry cut any of the tests. Many of the tests are gorgeously simple. The following are a few instances taken at random: A match flame positively identifies a very important metal. A burning pine sliver de termines a leading ore of silver. A live coal serves to identify each one of two valuable minerals which are physically similar. Half a dozen taps of the hammer assign certain ores to the class to which they belong.
Minerals which are similar in appearance are differentiated one from the other by some striking characteristic.
Simple tests are given by which the rare ores may be readily recognized.
