 Gentlemen: T have the lioiior to transmit Bulletin No. 46, "A 
 (Jeneral Index to the Publications of the State Mininji" I^ureau." 
 
 Since the organization of the Bureau, a \i\v\iv number of Reports, 
 I'uUetins. Maps, etc., have Ijeen published, iiiid in order to assist the 
 l)ubli(' in a knowledge of what these pu])lications contain, it has been 
 deemed best to issue a bulletin of theii' contents. 
 
 Very respectfully.

GENERAL INDEX 
 
 TO 
 
 PUBLICATIONS Of THE CAllfORNlA STATE KINING BUREAU. 
 
 Compiled by CHARLES ii. YALE. 
 
 Tin- follow i ml: iiulfx to tlu' Viirimis lu'|)ort.s, liiilh-liiis, luvuistcrs. etc., 
 issiKHl by the State Mininir Hurean from its or<raiiization to June, 
 1!)07, is very <reneral in its ii;itiirr. not ln'inL:' intended to elosely follow 
 detail. It slitmld he uinicrstniKl that each sei)ai'ate Kcimrl and I'.nlletin 
 is carefully inde.xed in detail, such index bein^ piii)lished with the 
 respective volumes. Moreover, in the later Repoi'ts and in nil l>Mlletins 
 and Retristers, subjects, mines, ami counties have been arran<z;ed in 
 alphabetical order. The names of mines, even, are aliihabetically 
 airauLit'd in the respective counties, as are the various minei'al sub- 
 stances. This bein^' the case, there has been fonntl no need for an 
 extended detail index covering:- all the contents of all the publications 
 of the Bureau. This <reneral index is intended nnl_\- to indicate in 
 which volume special articles mi various tdjjics can he I'dund : to jrive 
 the dates of Reports mid Registers; the names and ninnbers of liulletins; 
 and the names of majis jji-inted separately, oi- with the text, oi' as 
 folders in the volumes. The names of authors are also indexed, with 
 tile titles of the chapters, l)\dletins, or articles they have prepared. 
 AVhere chapters have lieen prepared by the State .Minei-aloiiist. or his 
 assistants, in various i"ej)orts, and are merely descriptions of mines, 
 districts, etc., and appear in alphabetical ordei* without name of author, 
 they are not named in this general index. All special articles havinj? 
 the name of the autlioi-. however, have t»een indexed by l>oth title and 
 author. 
 
 No attempt has been made to IikTcx, for instance, the chapters on 
 gold mining, forming so large a portion of most of the Reports. Nor 
 are the names of mines or counties indexe(T. These are already alpha- 
 betically arranged in the respective volumes. Those looking for records 
 or descriptions of particular mines nnist seek them under the county 
 headings in the various volumes or in the index to said volnmes. By 
 looking in the 13th Report — 1896 — the system adopted maj' be readily

 understood. Since that time Bulletins on single subjects have been 
 issued, and the contents of each have been alphabetically arranged by 
 subject and county, and suitably indexed. 
 
 In referring to volumes in this index it is to be borne in mind that 
 the figures following the words indicate the number of the Report; 
 and the prefix '*Bul." before a figure indicates the number of the 
 Bulletin. For example, "Antimony, 12, 13, Bui. 38" indicates special 
 references to this metal in the 12th and 13th Reports and in Bulletin 
 No. 38, and the page may be found by reference to the index of said 
 Reports and Bulletin. It does not follow, however, that antimony is 
 nowhere else mentioned in the publications of the Bureau, because 
 there may be a number of brief references to its occurrences in the 
 various Reports which would be shown in the index of the Report 
 where such reference is made. With respect to Structural and Indus- 
 trial Materials, what appeared relating to them in all previous Reports 
 and Bulletins has been incorporated in and summarized in Bulletin 
 No. 38. 
 
 Dates of all Reports may be found after the word "Report." 
 All Registers of ]\Iines and Minerals in counties may be found after 
 the word "Register"; and all maps which appear separately or with 
 the text of Reports are alphabetically arranged under the word "Map."

CALIFORNIA STATE MINING BUREAU. 
 
 Tliis institution aims to lie the chief source of reliable information 
 al)out the mineral resources and mininj; industries of California. 
 
 It is cncouraired in its work by the fact that its publications have 
 been in such demand that larjxc editions are soon exhausted. In fact, 
 copies of them now conniumd hi^rh prices in the market. 
 
 The i)ublications. as soon as i.ssued. tind tlieir way to tiie scientific, 
 public, and private ]il)rnries of all countries. 
 
 STATE MINERALOGIST. 
 
 The California State ]\Iinin«r Hureau is uudcr the supervision of 
 Hon. Lewis E. Anbury. State Mineralogist. 
 
 It is supported by le^'islative 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 sul)ordinate 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 tlio duty of said State Mineralocist 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 imiiortant minerals and the methods pursued in making their valuable 
 constituents available fm- commercial use; to make a collection of tyjtical geological 
 and mineralogical specimens, especially those of economic or commercial importance, 
 such collection constituting the Museum of the State Mining Bureau; to provide 
 a library of books, rei)orts, drawings, bearing upon the mineral industries, the 
 sciences of mineralogy and geology and the arts of mining and metallurgy, such 
 library constituting the Lilu-ary of the State Mining Bureau; to make a collection 
 of models, drawings, and descriptions of the mechanical ajipliances used in mining 
 and metallurgical processes ; to preserve and so maintain such collections and library 
 as to make them available for reference and examinatioti, and open to public inspec- 
 tion 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 infornmtion available to those ilesiring it, and to provide a custo<liau 
 specially fjualified to promote this purpo.se ; to make a biennial report to the Board 
 of Trustees of tiie Mininir 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 field covered l)y the books issued under this title is shown in 
 the 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 price is asked, in order that those who 
 ueed them most may obtain a copy. 
 
46 CALIFORNIA STATE MINING BUREAU. 
 
 THE REGISTERS OF MINES. 
 
 The Registers of Mines form practically both a State and County- 
 directory of the mines of California, each county being represented in 
 i\ separate pamphlet. Those wliu 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 by a topographical map of 
 the county on a large scale, showing location of each mineral deposit, 
 towns, railroads, road's, power lines, ditches, etc. 
 
 HOME OF THE BUREAU. 
 
 The IMining Bureau occupies the nortli half of the third floor of 
 the Ferry Building, in San Francisco. xVll visitors and residents are 
 invited to inspect the Milseum, Library, and other rooms of the Bureau 
 and gain a personal knowledge of its operations. 
 
 THE MUSEUM. 
 
 The Museum now contains over 16,000 specimens, carefully labeled 
 and attractively arranged in showcases in a great, well-lighted hall, 
 where they can be easily studied. The collection of ores from Cali- 
 fornia mines is of course very extensive, and is supplemented by many 
 cases of characteristic ores from the principal mining districts of the 
 world. The educational value of the exhibit is constantlj' 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 educa- 
 tional. They show to manufacturers, miners, capitalists, and others 
 the character and quality of the economic minerals of the State, and 
 where they are found. 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 mineralogieal 
 composition of the sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks of the 
 State; the petroleum-bearing formations, ore bodies, and their country 
 rocks, etc. 
 
 Besides the mineral specimens, there are many models, maps, photo- 
 graphs, and diagrams illustrating the modern practice of mining, 
 milling, and concentrating, and the technology of the mineral indus- 
 tries. An educational series of specimens for high schools has been 
 inaugurated, and new plans are being formulated that will make the 
 ]\ruseum even more useful in the future than in the past. Its popu- 
 larity is shown by the fact that over 100,000 visitors registered last 
 year, while many failed to leave anj' record of their visit.

 THE LIBRARY. 
 
 This is the mining reference library of the State, constantly consulted 
 by mining men, and contains between 4,000 and 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, min- 
 ing, etc., published by states, governments, and individuals ; the reports 
 of scientific societies at home and abroad ; encyclopaedias, 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 Cali- 
 fornia 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, Avhere 
 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, and from 9 a. m. to 
 12 M. on Saturdays. 
 
 THE LABORATORY. 
 
 This department identifies for the 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 
 not the percentage present. No charges for this service are made to 
 any resident of the State. INIan}- of the inquiries made of this depart- 
 ment have brought capital to the development of new districts. jNIany 
 technical questions have been asked and answered as to the best chemi- 
 cal 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

 CALIFORNIA STATE MINING BUREAU. 
 
 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 anything 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 1893. No 
 other State in the Union attempts so elaborate a record, expends so 
 much labor and money on its compliation, 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 them 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 pro- 
 duction by both substances and counties.

 COUNTY RANK IN GOLD PRODUCT IN 1905. 
 
 While gold is still the leading mining product, its yield no longer 
 puts the greatest gold-producing county in the first place. The petro- 
 leum of Kern County and the copper of Shasta give them precedence. 
 Gold is more widely distributed than any other substance thus far 
 mined in California; 34 counties out of the 57 in the State showing a 
 gold yield in 1905, and it is known to exist in several others. The order
