Description:
This description of the minerals of Arizona has been largely compiled
from publications and manuscripts. Numerous persons were also consulted
regarding undescribed mineral deposits, and much valuable information
was given by A. L. Flagg and Edwin Over. The writer is especially indebted
to Robert E. Heineman for the use of the mineral files of the Arizona
Bureau of Mines and to Dr. Eldred Wilson for editing the manuscript.
A complete list of publications on Arizona mineralogy is to be found in
the Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletin No. 146, Bibliography of the Geology
and Mineral Resources of Arizona, and it would be impracticable to reproduce
here all the references consulted. Material has been drawn freely
from many of them, much of it without change. References in the text
other than those listed below are to Bulletin 146. 82 p.
