Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mineral Content of Illinois Waters
Owing to lack of funds the Survey has not been able to do systematic collecting. The samples examined have been sent by parties who desired to know something of either the commercial or medicinal value of some special water. Though many times, when requested to make only the sanitary examination of a water, that could be considered as typical of a section of the State or of a geologic-a1 stratum, the Survey has also made an examination of the mineral content. Since the foundation of the Sur vey in 1895 to December 31, 1905, though it has not been possible to col lect samples systematically, 547 analyses have been made to determine the composition of the mineral residue. These waters have come from 269 cities and towns distributed over 90 counties, leaving only 12 counties from which no specimens have been analyzed.
