Comijilod from Original Records of the Stute Mining BurLiiu. THE mining interests of the State of California are so diversified, and the industry is extended over so wide an area, that it is difficult to describe the conditions which exist withoixt using many pages of printed matter. For this reason it has been considered proper, in this pamphlet, to give merely a record of results, which will show in plain figures what is being accomplished by the miners of the State. This record shows that some fifty mineral substances are being exploited, the annual valuation of which is now $66,363,198, and increasing as capital is invested and more mines and quarries are opened. The older mines, too, having been well developed and equipped, are increasing their annual out- put, and thus aLso proving their permanency and value with depth. For the past twenty-two years the total mineral output of California amounts to $674,536,640. The climatic conditions are favorable to mining operations throughout the State, and means of transportation have been so improved as to greatly lessen costs of supplies, etc. There are abundant opportunities for the safe and profitable investment of capital in the various branches of the industry, as numerous claims wliich have been located have never been properly developed or equipped, their owners lacking the necessary means. The State iliniug Bureau, maintained by State aid, provides numerous publications in the form of bulletins or reports, giving in detail tlie conditions existing in gold, copper, quicksilver, petroleum, and all the various branches of mining. It also publishes nuips of tlu- counties which show the location of all mines, roads, streams, etc. The Bureau is in charge of a State :Mineralogist. who has a corps of trained Field Assistants, and an office force as well. There is a fine technical library, and a very large museum showing specimens of all mineral products, suitably arranged for refer- ence. There is also a well-equipped la1x)ratory for the determination of minerals. The Bureau iiublishes. among other things, an annual Statistical Bulletin showing by counties the output and value of all substances mined or (|Hari-ied in California. From tlie latest bulletin of this charaetei-, covering the calendar year 1908, figures and tables given in this paiiqihlet are taken, in the belief that they will give the best idea of what the mines of the State are producing and what the miners are accomplishing. FERRY BUILDING, SAN FRANCISCO, ONE HALF THE UPPER FLOOR OF WHICH IS OCCUPIED BV I'Hl-; STATE MINING BUREAU. iThis building is constiucteU of Colusa sandstone, and the reoonstrueted lnwer is of reinforced concrete.) CALIFORNIA STATE MINING BUREAU. This institution aims to be the chief source of reliable information about the mineral resources and mining indus- tries of California. It is encouraged in its work by the fact that its publications have been in such demand that large editions are soon exhausted. In fact, copies of them now command high prices in the market. The publications, as soon as issued, find their way to the scientific, public, and private libraries of all countries. STATE MINERALOGIST. The California State Mining Bureau is under the supervision of a State Mineralogist and Board of Trustees. It is supported by legislative appropriations, and in some degree performs work similar to that of the geological surveys of other states, but its purposes and functions are mainly practical, the scientific work being clearly subordinate to the economic phases of the mineral field, as shown by the organic law governing the Bureau, which is as follows : Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of said State Mineralogist to make, facilitate, and encourage special studies of the mineral resources and mineral industries of the State. It shall be his duty : To collect statistics concerning the occurrence of the economically important minerals and the methods pursued in making their Taluable constituents available for commercial use: to make a collection of typical geological and min- eralogical specimens, especially those of economic or commercial importance, such collection constituting the Museum of the State Mining Bureau : to provide a library of books, reports, drawings, bearing upon the mineral industries, the sciences of mineralogy and geology and the arts of mining and metallurgy, such library constituting the Library of the State Mining Bureau; to make a collection of models, drawings, and descriptions of the mechanical appliances used in mining and metallurgical processes : to preserve and so maintain such collections and library as to make them available for reference and examination, and open to public in.spection at reasonable hours ; to maintain, in effect, a bureau of information concerning the mineral industries of this State, to consist of such collections and library, and to arrange, classify, catalogue, and index the data therein contained, in a manner to make the information available to those desiring it, and to provide a custodian specially qualified to promote this purpose: to make a biennial report to the Board of Trustees of the Mining Bureau, setting forth the important results of his work, and to issue from time to time such bulletins as he may deem advisable concerning the statistics and technology of the mineral industries of this State. THE BULLETINS. The tield covered by the books issued under this title is sliowu in tlie list of publications. Each bulletin deals with only one phase of mining. Many of them are elaborately illustrated with engravings and maps. Only a nominal pi-iee is asked, in order that those who need them most may obtain a fopy. (Sep list on last page.) THE REGISTERS OF MINES. The Registers of ^Mines form practically both a State and a County directory of the mines of California, each county being represented in a separate pamphlet. Those who wish to learn the essential facts about any particular mine are referred to them. The facts and figures are given in tabular form, and are accompanied bj- a topographical map of the county on a large scale, showing location of each mineral deposit, towns, railroads, roads, power lines, ditches, etc. HOME OF THE BUREAU. The [Mining Bureau occupie:> tlie north half of tlie third floor of the Ferry Building, in San Francisco. On the same floor are the rooms of the California State Board of Trade, and an exhibition instituted by and maintained by the Board of Trade, illustrative of agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, and other industries of California. All visitors and residents are invited to inspect the ^Museum. Library, and other rooms of the Bureau and gain a pereonal knowledge of its operations. THE MUSEUM. The Museum now contains over 20,000 .specimens, carefully labeled and attractively arranged in showcases in a great, M-ell-lighted hall, where they can be easily studied. The collection of ores from California mines is of course very exten- sive, and is supplemented by many eases of characteristic ores from the principal mining districts of the world. The educational value of the exhibit is constantly increased by substituting the best specimens obtainable for those of less value. These mineral collections are not only interesting, beautiful, and in every way attractive to the sightseers of all classes, but are also educational.

Plans have been formulated to extend the usefulness of the exhibit by special collections, such as one showing the chemical composition of minerals; another showing the min- eralogical composition of the sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks of the State; the petroleum-bearing forma- tions, ore bodies, and their country rocks, etc. Besides the mineral specimens, there are many models, maps, photographs, and diagrams illustrating the modern practice of mining, milling, and concentrating, and the technolog.v of the mineral industries. An educational series of specimens for high schools has been inaugurated, and new plans are being formulated that will make the Museum even more useful in the future than in the past. Its popularity is shown by the fact that over 120.000 visitors registered last year, while many failed to leave any record of their visit. THE LIBRARY. This is the mining reference library of the State, constantly consulted by mining men, and contains about 5,000 volumes of selected works, in addition to the numerous publications of the Bureau itself. On its shelves will be found reports on geology, mineralogy, mining, etc., published by states, governments, and individuals ; the reports of scientific societies at home and abroad; encycloptedias, scientific papers, and magazines; mining publications, and the current literature of mining ever needed in a reference library. Manufacturers' catalogues of mining and milling machinery by California firms are kept on file. The Registers of Mines form an up-to-date directory for investor and manufacturer. The Librarian's desk is the general bureau of information, where visitors from all parts of the world are ever seeking information about all parts of California. READING-ROOM. This is a part of the Library Department and is supplied with over one hundred current publications. Visitors will find here various California papers and leading mining journals from all over the world. The Library and Reading-Room are open to the public from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. daily, except Sundays and holidays. THE LABORATORY. This department identities for tlie prospector the minerals he finds, and tells him the nature of the wall rocks or dikes he may encounter in his workings : but this department does not do assaying nor compete with private assayers. The presence of minerals is determined, but uot the percentage present. No charges for this service are made to any resident of the State. Many of the inquiries made of this department have brought capital to the development of new districts. Many technical questions have been asked and answered as to the best chemical and mechanical processes of handling ores and raw material. The laboratory is well equipped. THE DRAUGHTING-ROOM. In this room are prepared scores of maps, from the small ones filling only a part of a page, to the largest County and State maps ; and the numerous illustrations, other than photographs, that are constantly being required for the Bulletins and Registers of Mines. In this room, also, will be found a very complete collection of maps of all kinds relating to the industries of the State, and one of the important duties of the department is to make such additions and corrections as will keep the maps up to date. The seeker after information inquires here if he wishes to know about the geology or topography of any district; about the locations of the new camps, or positions of old or abandoned ones; about railroads, stage roads, and trails; or about the working drawings of anj'thiug connected with mining. MINERAL STATISTICS. One of the features of this institution is its mineral statistics. Their annual compilation by the State Mining Bureau began in 1894. No other state in the Union attempts so elaborate a record, expentls so much labor and money on its compilation, or secures so accurate a one. The State Mining Bureau keeps a careful, up-to-date, and reliable but confidential register of every producing mine, mine-owner, and mineral industry in the State. From such are secured, under pledge of secrecy, reports of output, etc., and all other available sources of information are used in checking, verifying, and supplementing the information so gained. This information is published in an annual tabulated, statistical, single-sheet bulletin, showing the mineral production by both substances and counties.

The most noteworthy increases for 1908 are in petroleum, gold, bituminous roek. macadani. and potterx- ela\s. The total value of the metallic substances (including precious metals) , for 1908. was $26,-466,814. which includes gold, silver, pyrites, quicksilver, copper, lead, tungsten. ]datinum. zinc, and chi-omc. The silver is given in commercial value, or amount received for it by the producers. The total value of non-metallic substances was $1,5:31.198. The.se substances include borax, coal, mineral waters, salt, infusorial eai-th. gypsum, magnesite, manganese, mineral paint, fuller's earth, soda, tourmaline, chry.soprase and other gems. The total value of the hydrocarbons and gase.s was $28,232,959, an increase of $10,203,022. The hydrocarbons and gases include asphalt, bituminous rock, natural gas, and petroleum. The petroleum price is the average f.o.b. at wells or stations in each county. The number of barrels of oil jiroduced was 48,306,910, valued at $26,566,181, as against 40,311.171 barrels in 1907, valued at $16,783,943. The increase in asphalt was large for the year. The total value of structural materials was $10,132,179, a decrease from 1907. These materials include brick and pottery clays, Portland cement, lime and limestone, macadam, rubble and concrete rock, paving blocks, marble, granite, sandstone, serpentine, slate and glass-sand. The relative vahies of the principal minerals of the State are as follows: First, petroleinn: second, gold; third, copper ; fourth, clays and their products ; fifth, macadam : sixth, cement ; seventh, asphaltum. All the asbestos produced in California in 1908 was from Amador. Placer, and Riverside counties. Asphaltum was produced in the counties of Kern. Los Angeles. Santa Barbara. Alameda.

(13) TOTAL GOLD PRODUCT OF CALIFORNIA— 1848-1908. AYhile gold is next to the leading luiuiDg product, its yield uo longer puts the greatest gold-producing couuty in the first place. The copper of Shasta County, together with its other mineral products, gives it the leading place as a mineral-producing county. Gold is more widely distributed than any other substance thus far mined in California, thirty -one counties out of the fifty-eight in the State showing a gold yield in 1908. and it is known to exist in several others. The following talilc shows the total gold yield of California, by years, from Ihe time mining commenced in 18-18 to 1908, inclusive:* 1848 $245,301 1849 10,151,360 1850 41,273,106 1851 75,938,232 1852 81,294,700 1853 67,613,487 1854 69,433,931 1855 55,485,395 1856 57,509,411 1857 43,628,172 1858 46,591,140 1859 45,846,599 1860 44,095,163 1861 41,884,995 1862 38,854,668 1863 23,501,736 1864 $24,071,423 1865 17.930,858 1866 17,123,867 1867 18,265.452 1868 17,555,867 1869 18,229,044 1870 17,458,133 1871 17,477,885 1872 15,482,194 1873 15.019,210 1874 17.264,836 1875 16.876,009 1876 15,610,723 1877 16,501,268 1878 18,839,141 1879 •. . 19,626,654 1880 $20,030,761 1881 19,223,155 1882 17,146,416 1883 24.316,873 1884 13,600,000 1885 12.661,044 1886 14,716.506 1887 13,588,614 1888 12,750,000 1889 11,212,913 1890 12,309,793 1891 12,728,869 1892 12,571,900 1893 12,422,811 1894 13,923,281 1895 15,334,317 1896 $17,181,562 1897 15,871,401 1898 15.906,478 1899 15,336,031 1900 15,863,355 1901 16,989,044 1902 16,910,320 1903 16,471,264 1904 19,109,600 1905 19,197,043 1906 18,732.452 1907 16.727,928 1908 18,761,559 Total,.. $1,488,275,250 for nine. in07, and 1008 by V.

Ilie fuUnwing is tliu record for 1908. with the value of the material in wliiuh the eouuty leads. It should be explained, however, that certain substances are put under the heading of "uuapportioned." which includes product of single mines, etc., in counties to conceal their identity. For this reason it is necessary to put under this heading borax, coal, Portland cement, some gold and silver, and a few other substances formerly credited to certain counties. This causes an apparent, but not real, falling oi? in output of counties where "uuapportioned" substances occur. If credited to the exact county where there is only a single operator, private business would be made public. Under these circumstances, the figures of output of value in some counties do not actually represent their relative rank in 1908, as some of the products may be placed under " unapportioned. " Moreover, .some counties lead in output of some substances placed in the "uuapportioned" column, and these substances do nut, therefore, appear after the name of the county, thus reducing the county total. Alameda Coimty leads in manganese ($4,680) and salt ($108,694); Butte in gold ($3,139,398); Colusa in sandstone (.$43,971); El Dorado in slate ($50,000); Inyo in lead ($28,244), soda, and borax; Kern in petroleum ($9,388,935), asphalt ($475,000), and tungsten; Lake in mineral waters ($118,300) ; Los Angeles in brick ($800,163), gypsum ($75,000), macadam ($542,078), and glass-sand ($16,000) ; Placer in asbestos ($5,000) and granite ($157,992) ; Riverside in pottery clays ($89,752) ; San Benito in quicksilver (.$405,792) ; San Diego in gems ($121,500) ; Monterey in coal ; Santa Cruz in bituminous rock ($85,123) and lime ($119,996); Santa Barbara in infusorial earth ($32,012) and natural gas ($357,806) ; Sha.sta in copper (.$4,642,976), in chrome (.$5,600). pyrites (.$539.5.53). and silver (.$517,596); Sonoma in paving blocks ($228,630) ; Stani.slaas in mineral paint ($2,000) ; Tuolumne in marble (.$47,165) ; Tulare County leads in magnesite ($52,642) ; Solano County in cement; Kings County in fuller's earth; San Bernardino County in lime- stone ($97,466) ; Calaveras Coiuity in quartz crystals; Contra Costa County in rubble ($210,000). The "unapportioned" list includes borax, cement, coal, tungsten, and some gold, silver, copper, lead, glass-sand, and zinc. To show the wide distribution of mineral substances in California, an analysis of the .statistics for 1908 proves that gold was prodiiced in 31 counties; asphalt in 7; chrome in 2; brick claj's in 34; pottery clays in 13; copper in 17; gems in 5; granite in 11; macadam in 28; mineral waters in 19; natural gas in 5; paving blocks in 5; petroleum in 8; quicksilver in 10; rubble in 19; salt in 8; sandstone in 5, and silver in 31. In certain instances other sul«tances are mined or quarried in only one county. (l-il QUANTITY AND VALUE OF MINERAL PRODUCTS OF CALIFORNIA— 1908. ASBESTOS. Quantity. A'alue.

" This will enable all counties to use this publication, properly, for promotion purposes, and, it is obvious, to their legiti- mate and large advantage. In the annual bidletins the iLse of the "unapportioned" column is still necessary and will be so always. But there is no reason why the various richly mineralized portions of the State should not have their mineral wealth known, as repi'esenting the output of a period, and it is and will be the purpose of this Bureau to spread information of this kind as widely as po.ssible, for the purpose of enlightening those who are seeking for mining invest- .ments or places in which to place their capital in plants for the pi'oduction of such minerals as are common to a large majority of California counties. The Bureau believes that the detailed statements will prove of value to all localities and to the State of California as a whole. In 1894 the California Stnti^ Mining liureau began to keep a record, based on the individual returns of producers, of the annual mineral output of this State. The work is now widened in its scope. tlnapportioiiprl is luit giv(>ii by ypars. a.s siicli tfegregation would reveal private business in many instances. (3«) PRODUCTS BY VALUES— 1900-1908.
