large collection of specimens the State University
and abundance of information could be obtained
there.
Mr.. TYLER spoke in favor of the bill and answered
at some length objections urged by MIR. May and
others.
| Messrs McTsTosH, MERRY and MEDALLION said
during the debate it was claimed that ii people in
San Francisco desired it, that it should have been in
troduced through the representatives from that city
| Mr.. WATSON of Mono closed the debate, and said
that with regard to the bill coming from San Fran
CISCO it natural that it should be sent 10 the
Chairman of the Committee Mines. He
| had been a resident OF that city for
years and sunk thousands OF dollars in
land speeulations on the sand lots before they
had become historic. He felt 4 just pride in the
mines, and particularly those of Mono. In Bodie,
within the past three years. the population had in
creased from loo to 5000. The money from that
place is expended in San Francisco. More than
this, MexcO Alaska and Australia all intimately
connected with tina: city, as business center, and
so far as furnishing needed information is concerned
the University is schoolbov concern TO what
this bureau will give in five years time 1t viii be
| an henor to and the pride of the city There are
| donations OF specimens from mines amounting TO
thousands OF dollars ready to be offered to it, In
referring to Mono county. may say il is the most
pronounce mining county in the State, and il lay
undeyeloped for years for want of such information
as this Bureau will furnish. There is not county
in the State that is not mining county unless it is
San Francisco and there they mine in the pockets
of the people. We have fully developed only mines
of two minerals-god and silver and quicksilver.
| The country is rich in mineral substance, and no
record is made of it. No authoritative reports are
published Of the varied minerals that have a com
| mercia value We have no storehouse OF informa-
| tion where tue stranger find out where these
| minerals are, and vet they are known to exist We
only ask fair hearing upon this subject, and am
sure the people Of San Francisco within five years
will be proud OF this institution Place yourselves
| upon record, anv how.
