ORE DEPOSITS, WITH A CHAPTER ON HINTS TO PROSPECTORS. By J. P. JOHNSON.

This book gives a condensed account of the ore deposits at present known in South
Africa. It is also intended as a guide to the prospector. Only an elementary knowl-
edge of geology and some mining experience are necessary in order to understand this
work. With these qualifications, it will materially assist one in his search for metallif-
erous mineral occurrences and, so far as simple ores are concerned, should enable one
to form some idea of the possibilities of any he may find.

Among the chapters given are: Titaniferous and Chromiferous Iron Oxides-Nickel-
Copper-Cobalt-Tin-Molybdenum-Tungsten-Lead-Mercury-Antimony-Iron
-Hints to Prospectors.

PATTERN MAKING

PRACTICAL PATTERN MAKING. By F. W. EARROWS.

This book, now in its second edition, is a comprehensive and entirely practical treatise
on the subject of pattern making, iliustrating pattern work in both wood and metal,
and with definite instructions on the use of plaster of paris in the trade.
It gives
specific and detailed descriptions of the materials used by pattern makers and de-
scribes the tools; both those for the bench and the more interesting machine tools;
having complete chapters on the Lathe, the Circular Saw and the Band Saw. It gives
many examples of pattern work, each one fully illustrated and explained with much
detail. These examples, in their great variety, offer much that will be found of
interest to all pattern makers, and especially to the younger ones, who are seeking
information on the more advanced branches of their trade.

In this second edition of the work will be found much that is new, even to those who
have long practised this exacting trade. In the description of patterns as adapted
to the Moulding Machine many difficulties which have long prevented the rapid and
economical production of castings are overcome; and this great, new branch of the
trade is given much space. Stripping plate and stool plate work and the less expen-
sive vibrator, or rapping plate work, are all explained in detail.

Plain, everyday rules for lessening the cost of patterns, with a complete system of cost keeping, a detailed method of marking, applicable to all branches of the trade, with complete information showing what the pattern is, its specific title, its cost, date of production, material of which it is made, the number of pieces and coreboxes, and its location in the pattern safe, all condensed into a most complete card record, with cross index.

The book closes with an original and practical method for the inventory and valuation of patterns. Containing nearly 350 pages and 170 illustrations. Price. $2.00
