CALIFORNIA MINES AND MINERALS. 
 
 i-ompiled from Original Records of tlio State Mining Bureau. 
 
 NEW conditions are continually arising in the mining industry of California. Petroleum has risen to first place in 
 the value of individual output. Gold, through the agency of the gold dredging industry, largely, is making a better 
 showing, with fine prospects of an increase for a long period to come. Copper is more and more important as an 
 annual mineral product of this State. 
 
 The California State Mining Bureau makes a study of the production of the leading minerals, among which are 
 included some of the structural materials. In this pamphlet a concise review is made, covering in detail the output of 
 tlie year 1909, and also affording a comparative review for each county for 1909 and also for a period of ten years. 
 
 The fact is made obvious that there is a general increase in production all along the line. The grand totals for each 
 of the years summarized in this publication attest to that satisfactorily. 
 
 There are some fifty mineral substances that are produced commercially in quantities that are accounted for every 
 year. The mining area is continually growing wider, and the statistics relating to petroleum, gold, copper and manj- other 
 minerals concisely point that out to students of the mineral progre.ss of this State. The total output for twenty-three years 
 o1' California minerals as returned by producers and from other sources that are reliable is $757,508,849. 
 
 Mining operations are conducted under favorable conditions, climatic and others. In the past year a new transcon- 
 tinental railway has begun active operations; and northern counties that had not enjoyed adequate transportation 
 facilities hitherto are now on the way to develop more rapidly, promising even better results for the State at large. There 
 are excellent means in existence in nearly all portions of California that are required to promote mining. There are 
 many chances to mine profitably in this State. Promising claims that have not been thoroughly worked because of a lack 
 of capital can be secured. 
 
 The past year has been a busy one in the State Mining Bureau. Bulletins giving all information required regarding 
 petroleum production and petroleum fields in the State, and reviewing the gold dredging industry, have been prepai-ed 
 bv skilled assistants and have been added to an already large list of timely publications. The State Mining Bureau, pre- 
 sided over by the State Mineralogist, maintains a corps of field assistants, /in office force, a fine technical library, a labora- 
 tory for the determination of minerals, and a large and suitably arranged Museum containing many mineral specimens. 
 
 The stated annual publications of the Bureau for 1909 include one showing the mineral output by counties, another 
 giving the production by grand totals for each of a long period of years; and a series of comprehensive pamphlets, of 
 which this is one.

CALIFORNIA STATE MINING BUREAU. 
 
 This institution is the chief source of reliable information about the mineral resources and mining industries 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, tind 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 Mineralosist 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 valuable 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 and 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 inspection 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 
 inde.x 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 field covered by the books issued under this title is shown in the list of publications. Some bulletins deal 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 need them most may obtain a copy. (See 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 by a topographical map of the 
 county on a large scale, showing location of each mineral deposit, towns, railways, roads, power lines, ditches, etc. 
 
 HOME OF THE BUREAU. 
 
 The Mining Bureau occupies the north half of the third floor of the Perry Building, in San Francisco. On the same 
 floor are the rooms of the California Development Board, and an exhibition instituted by and maintained by the Board, 
 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 a personal knowledge of its operations. 
 
 THE MUSEUM. 
 
 The Museum now contains more than 20,000 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 California mines is of course very 
 extensive, and is supplemented by many ca.ses 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 educational. They show to manufacturers, miners, capitalists, and others the character and qualit}' of 
 the economic minerals of the State, and where they are found. Plans have been formulated to extend the usefulness of

MINERAI^ MUSEUM, CALIFORNIA STATE MINING BUREAU. 
 
the exhibit by special collections, sueli as one showing the chemical composition nf minerals; one containing structural 
 materials; another showing the mineralogical composition of the sedimentary, metamorphic. and igneous roelis of the State; 
 the petroleum-bearing formatioiLS, 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 technology of the mineral indu.stries. 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 125,000 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, constantlj* consulted by mining men. and contains about 5,000 
 volumes of selected works, in addition to the numerous publications of the Bureau. On its shelves will be found reports on 
 geolog.v, mineralogy, mining, 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 macliinerj- by California firms are kept on file. The Registers of 
 Klines form an up-to-date directory for investor and manufacturer. 
 
 The Librarian's desk is the general bureau of information, where visitors from every part of tlie world are ever seek- 
 ing 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 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. Manj' 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 M'ell equipped. 
 
 THE DRAUGHTING-ROOM. 
 
 In this room are prepared scores of map.s, from the small ones tilling only a part of a page, to tlie largest Countj' and 
 State maps; and the numerous illustrations, other than photographs, tliat are con.stantly being required for the Bulletins 
 and Eegisters of Jlines. 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; aV)out 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 found in its mineral statistics. Their annual compilation by the State Mining 
 Bureau began in 1894. No other state in the Union attempts so elaljorate a record, expends so much labor and money on 
 its compilation, or secures one so accurate. 
 
 The State ]\Iining Bureau keeps a careful, up-to-date, and reliable but confidential register of every producing mine, 
 mine owner, and mineral industr.v in the State. From such are secured, under pledge of secrecy, reports of outpat, 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 value of the total mineral output of the State in 190S was $66,363,198. The grand total for 1909 was $82,972,209, 
 an increase of $16,609,011. The noteworth.y gains for 1909 as compared with 1908 were made by petroleum, gold, cement, 
 coal, copper, lead, rubble, natural gas, tungsten, silver and pottery clays. Metallic substances in 1909, which include 
 the precious metals, were produced to the value of $32,321,974, including gold, silver, pyrites, quicksilver, copper, lead,

PETROLEUM PRODUCTION IN CALIFORNIA— 1875-1909. 
 
 The growth of petroleum production in California makes it desirable to provide data by wliieli the progress of the 
 petroleum industry of the State may be traced. The following tabulation takes no account of values, but only of the 
 number of barrels produced between the years 1875-1909 and inclusive of both years. Prior to 18S7 the figures relating 
 to values are incomplete. This makes it impossible to give an accurate showing of the valuation of the total product from 
 the beginning of production. The other course, accounting for the amount of production, has been taken necessarily. The 
 total value of the petroleum produced in the period 1887-1909, inclusive, as estimated, was .$136,693,228. The barrels pro- 
 duced each year, as reported by the producers, are as follows :

BANNER COUNTIES IN DIFFERENT MINERAL PRODUCTS— 1909. 
 
 Tlie baimer uoimties of tlie State, based on the records of mineral pi'oduetinn, are those that lead in any special 
 product or products in a year. The necessity for protecting' individuals, who are the sole ones outputting some partic- 
 ular substance, makes it advisable to place certain substances, under certain conditions, beneath the heading of "Unappor- 
 tioned. " This operates to make county production seem to be less for a time, in some cases, but another tabulation 
 credits the gross production and gross value for each county for a series of years, so that no omission of credit to any 
 county occurs in the long run. By referring to a bulletin of production by counties, of any current year, the fact will 
 appear what are the substances and what are the amounts "unapportioned, " as all substances are summarized annnall3'. 
 The banner counties of 1909, with the limitations indicated above, were as follows : 
 
 Alameda County leads in macadam ($300,478) and salt ($10'4,978) ; Butte in gold ($2,987,079) ; Colusa in sandstone 
 ($24,634) ; El Dorado in slate (.$4.5,660) ; Inyo in lead (.$131,199), soda and borax; Kern in petroleum ($12,565,246), 
 asphalt ($655,391) and tungsten ; Lake in mineral water ($108,270) ; Los Angeles in brick ($1,195,892), gypsnm ($50,000) 
 and glass sand ($14,400) ; Placer in asbestos ($6,000) and granite ($156,968) ; Riverside in pottery clays ($97,971) ; San 
 Benito in quicksilver (.$440,241) ; San Diego in gems ($125,000) ; JMonterey in infusorial earth ($3 500) and coal; Santa 
 Cruz in bituminous rock ($110,067) and lime ($296,785) ; Santa Barbara in natural gas ($394,621) ; Shasta in copper 
 (.$7,581,115), in chrome ($3,517), pyrites ($1,349,286), limestone ($134,595); Sonoma in paving blocks (.$134,223); 
 Stanislaus in mineral paint ($2,225) ; Tulare in magn&site ($47,200) ; Solano in cement and rubble ($163,308) ; Kern in 
 fullers' earth; San Bernardino in marble ($125,000). The "unapportioned" list includes borax, cement, coal, tungsten 
 and some gold, silver, copper, lead, glass sand, zinc, brick, chrome and soapstone. 
 
 To show the w-ide distribution of mineral substances in California, an analysis of the statistics for 1909 proves that 
 gold was produced in 33 counties ; asphalt in 8 ; chrome in 3 ; brick clays in 33 ; pottery clays in 12 ; copper in 14 ; cement 
 in 7 ; gems in 6 ; granite in 9 ; macadam in 32 ; mineral water in 20 ; natural gas in 9 ; paving blocks in 4 ; petroleum in 8 ; 
 quicksilver in 9 ; rubble in 21 ; salt in 7 ; sandstone in 3, and silver in 33. In certain instances other substances are 
 mined or quarried in only one county.

MINERAL PRODUCTS BY COUNTIES, 1900-1909, SUBSTANCES AND VALUES/ 
 
 That full justice may be given to all mineralized counties in California, the California State Mining Bureau pub- 
 lishes herewith, covering a series of years, the total values of and details of mineral production, giving to the several 
 counties their proper share of that which had been, heretofore, placed under the general heading of " unapportioned. " 
 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 bulletins the use 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 theii 
 mineral wealth known, as representing 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 possible, 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 production of such minerals as are common to a large 
 ma.jority of California countie-s. The Bureau believes that the detailed statements will prove of value to all localities and 
 to the State of T'alifornia as a whole. 
 
 In 1894 the California State Mining Bureau 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. 
 
 "Unapportioned" is not given by years, as such segregation would reveal private business in many instances.

 to the court that the attorney of record, party, or principal witness 
 is actually engaged in attendance upon a session of the legislature of 
 
 this state as a member thereof. The court may require the moving 
 party, where application is made on account of the absence of a

 CHAPTER LXXIV. 
 
 .■In act to establish a uniform syvtcin of mine hell signals, to he used 
 in all the mines operated in the Htnte of California, and for the 
 protection of miners. 
 
 Section 1. Every person, company, cori'oration, or individual, 
 operating any mine witliin the State of California — gold, silver, copper, 
 lead, coal, or any other metal or substance — where it is necessary to 
 use signals by means of bell or otherwise, for shafts, inclines, drifts, 
 crosscuts, tunnels, and underground workings, shall, after the passage 
 of this bill, adopt, use, and put in force the following system or code 
 of mine bell signals, as follows : 
 
 1 bell, to hoist. (See Rule 2.) 
 
 1 bell, to stop if in motion. 
 
 2 bells, to lo\Tier. (See Rule 2.^ 
 
 3 bells, man to be hoisted; run slow. (See Rule 2.) 
 
 4 bells, start pump if not running, or stop pump if running. 
 1 — 3 bells, start or stop air compressor. 
 
 5 bells, send down tools. (See Rule 4.) 
 
 G bells, send down timbers. (See Rule 4.) 
 
 7 bells, accident ; move bucket or cage by verbal orders only. 
 
 1 — 4 bells, foreman wanted. 
 
 2 — 1 — 1 bells, done hoisting until called. 
 2 — 1 — 2 bells, done hoisting for the day. 
 
 2 — 2 — 2 bells, change buckets from ore to water, or vice versa. 
 
 3 — 2 — 1 bells, ready to shoot in the shaft. (See Rule 3.) 
 Engineer's signal, that he is ready to hoist, is to raise the bucket or 
 
 cage two feet and lower it again. (See Rule 3. "( 
 
 Levels shall be designated and inserted in notice hereinafter men- 
 tioned. (See Rule 5.) 
 
 Sec. 2. For the purpose of enforcing and properly understanding 
 the above code of signals, the following rules are hereby established : 
 
 Rule 1 — In giving signals make strokes on bell at regular intervals. 
 The bar ( — ) must take the same time as for one stroke of the bell, 
 and no more. If timber, tools, the foreman, bucket or cage are wanted 
 to stop at any level in the mine, signal by number of strokes on the 
 
 bell, number of the level first before giving the signal for timber, tools, 
 etc. Time between signals to be double bars ( ). Examples: 
 
 G .5 would mean stop at sixth level with tools. 
 
 4 1 — 1 — 1 1, would mean to stop at fourth level, man 
 
 on, hoist. 
 
 2 1 — 4 would mean stop at second level with foreman. 
 
 Rule 2 — No person, must get off or on the bucket or cage while the 
 same is in motion. When men are to be hoisted give the signal for 
 men. Alen* must then get on bucket or cage, then give the signal to 
 hoist. Bell cord must be in reach of man on the bucket or cage at 
 stations. 
 
 Rxile 3 — After signal "Ready to shoot in shaft," engineer must give 
 his signal when he is ready to hoist. Miners must then give the signal 
 of "Men to be hoisted," then "spit fuse," get into the bucket, and give 
 the signal to hoist. 
 
 Rule 4 — AH timbers, tools, etc., "longer than the depth of the 
 bucket," to be hoisted or lowered, must be securely lashed at the upper 
 end to the cable. Miners must know they will ride up or down the 
 shaft without catching on rocks or timbers and be thrown out. 
 
 Rule 5 — The foreman will see that one printed sheet of these signals 
 and rules for each level and one for the engine-room are attached to a 
 board not less than twelve inches wide by thirty-six inches long, and 
 securely fasten the board up where signals can be ea-sily read at the 
 places above stated. 
 
 Rule 6 — The above signals and rules must be obeyed. Any violation 
 will be sufficient grounds for discharging the party or parties so doing. 
 No person, company, corporation, or individuals operating any mine 
 within the State of California, shall be responsible for accidents that 
 may happen to men di.sobeying the above rules and signals. Said 
 notice and rules shall be signed by the person or superintendent having 
 charge of the mine, who shall designate the name of the corporation 
 or the owner of the mine. 
 
 Sec. 3. Any person or company failing to carry out any of the pro- 
 visions of this act shall be responsible for all damages arising to or 
 incurred by any person working in said mine during the time of such 
 failure.

DEL NORTE AND SISKIYOU COUNTIES. 
 
 The County Maps. 
 
 The county maps in 
 this pamphlet show 
 all towns, post offices, 
 railroads, stage lines 
 carrying passengers, 
 mail and express, and 
 distances between 
 points, forming a use- 
 ful and handy guide 
 especially to all who 
 wish to leave the rail- 
 road and penetrate to 
 the interior of the 
 miningdistricts. They 
 also show all post 
 routes. These maps 
 have been brought up 
 to January 1, 1909, and 
 must not be repro- 
 duced without obtain- 
 ing permission from 
 State Mining Bureau.
