Excerpt from Consolidated Index of Publications of the Division of Mines and Predecessor State Mining Bureau, 1880-1943 Inclusive Previously there had been two short-lived geological surveys in this state: the first under John B. Trask as State Geologist, 1853-1856; the second under James D. Whitney, 1860-1873. The fundamental idea underlying the creation of the State Mining Bureau was that it should be concerned primarily with an economic developmental survey of California's mineral resources and their utilization rather than solely as a geological survey. Provision was also made, however, in the organic act that geology should be included in the work of the bureau. By enactment at the 1927 legislative session, Article iij was added to the Political Code creating the Department of Natural Resources, and provided for the transfer of the State Mining Bureau to the new department as the Division of Mines and Mining.' This was amended in 1929, changing the name to Division of Mines and creating a 'state Mining Board to consist of five members whose duty is to determine general policies for the guidance of the Division of Mines. These provisions were included in the consolidation and revision of the statutes under the Public Resources Code (chap. 93, 'stats. The following have served as State Mineralogist: Henry G.

Excerpt from Chapter of Report XXII of the State Mineralogist: Covering Mining in California and the Activities of the State Mining Bureau As one means of offering tangible service to the mining public, the State Mineralogist for many years has issued an annual or a biennial report reviewing in detail the mines and mineral deposits of the various counties. The weak point in work oiz this character has been that the results of field investigations were so long in preparation that they had lost much of their usefulness by the time they finally appeared in print. As a progressive step in advancing the interests of the mineral industry, publication of the Annual Report of the State Mineralogist in the form of monthly chapters was begun in January, 1922, and continued until March, 1923. Owing to a lack of funds for printing, quarterly publication was begun in September, 1923. For the same reason, beginning with the January, 1924, issue, it has been necessary to charge a subscription price of $1 per calendar year, payable in advance; single copies, 25 cents apiece. 'mining in Cali fornia' will continue to be sent without charge to our exchange list, including schools and public libraries, as are also other publications of the State Mining Bureau. Pages are numbered consecutively throughout the year and an index to the complete reports is included annually in the closing number.
