Mineral Contents Data (used by Chernoff)
Description
The data is a 53 by 12 matrix representing mineral analysis of a 4500 
foot core drilled from a Colorado mountainside.  Twelve variables 
(columns) represent assays of seven mineral contents by one method and 
repeated assays of five of these by a second method.  Fifty-three 
equally spaced specimens (rows) along the core were assayed.  Specimen 
ID numbers were 200 to 252.
