INNING BUREAU BILL.
Assembly Bill No. 415-An Act to provide for the
establishment and maintenance Of Mining Bureau
(by Mr.. W,sson OF Monol
Mr. WATSON OF Mono said the State had no nstitu.
ton wherein any record of the variety of minerals OF
this State can be found-no institution whereby any
intelligent conception of the mineral resources OF
California can be obtained. The State Geological
Survey began at the wrong end. The State snubbed
the State Geologist, Mr. Whitney, who IN turn
snubbed the State by taking away all that val
liable of the survey and minerals. No information
can be obtained to what became of the maps and
reports pertaining to the minerals. The question
now is how to remedy the failure Of the geologi al
survey. This bill, No. AIS, proposes to es-
, tablish in San Francisco Office, the
, State Mineralogst to collect the necessary data
In the Berkeley University the College of Mines per-
tains to the teaching of knowledge of mining,
but that can have perceptible bearing upon the
wants Of the great mass OF people who come and go
from San Francisco-prospectors, miners and capi.
talIsts. This, if established, would supplement the
Berkeley ins tuition, round it out and make the
subject OF leading Importance. The funds to be
used drawn from the license tax imposed by the
law of 1878 upon certificates Of mining stocks. The
first year the proceeds from this tax were about
$50, 600, but judging from the sales the funds
will not amount to more than $4,000 annually 1t
would be paid in San Francisco and through every
mining stock company on the Pacific coast mining
people contribute to this and though for the time
being it will divert money from the treasury of San
Francisco, that money will create great State in
: stitution.
Mr. TYLER said that be looked upon this as one Of
the most important bills Of the session. 1t would
encourage mines and mining enterprises by furnish
ing needed inform tion. San Francisco was the
