ties for industrial pursuits in their respective dis
trcts, as they may think important or interesting,
| are requested to communicate them, as it Is the
| intention of the Committee to have a report 10
! accompany the articles sent to the exhibition,
prepared by properly qualified persons, based
upon the information thus received, as well as
upon the geology and mineraogy of our Coast in
which latter department, they confidently hope

Geologist Of the State Of California.
1t is probable that, owing to the distracted con
dtion Of affairs in the East little or no prepara-
ton will be made by the Atlantic States to occu-
py prominent position in the next great Exhib-
ton. The people Of the Pacific Coast should
consider 1T their duty to supply this deficiency as
far as in their dover, and their exertoDs should
be further stimulated by the fact that their con-
tributions to the Fair which, otherwise and
among the more numerous and varied specimens
Of the skill and industry of the older States,
might have passed unnoticed, will now receive
their full aud deserved share Of attention.
