The State Mining Bureau draws on its
exhibit in the ferry building for the ST.

being very good and comprehensive as
regards all phases of mining.

The aim in the foregoing has been only
TO mention the different minerals The
purely mineral exhibit of California
viii weigh about fifteen tons. The min
erals and structural materials I'LL four
I freight cars. Three carloads have been
started. The mineral arch to stand at
the entrance Of the California mineral
exhibit viii weigh eighteen tons. It
viii be composed of building stones do
mated by individuals and corporations
in all parts of California
State Mineralogist Aubury is now in
I St Louis. He has gone to install the
exhibits and TO superintend the cree
tion OF the arch. He will remain away
