the congregation adjourned TO he Pts
gah gardens, several blocks south.
The movement of the 1000 people who
had gathered at the tent and wended
their way along the trail to the Pisgah
gardens was a reminder of the scenes
of old Bible times. The workers of the
home carried the chairs and benches in
advance of the multitude.
Arriving at the gardens the mixed
throng was seated on leveled fiat adj
joining the building. The dedicatory
service was then held.
Addresses by Women
DR.. Yoakum introduced several wo-
man workers in the home, who made
telling addresses regarding their down.
fall. and rescue through the help of DR..
Yoakum and his co-workers.
Rev. Baker P. Lee, rector of Christ
Episcopal church, made an interesting
address bearing upon the existing con-
ditions of men and women in the lower
walks of life.
Judge Mcdonald followed Mr.. Lee,
giving a short but interesting address.
After the service the multitude was
fed, not loaves and fishes, but with an
abundance of light refreshments and
cold water, as the ordinary table
drinks, such as tea and coffee. are not
considered healthy by the doctor.

MINERALOGlST GIVES
ENCOURAGING REPORT
GREAT GAIN IN STRUCTURAL
MATERIAL OUTPUT
Largest Increase in the State Shown
by Returns of Brickmakers,
Cement Men Taking
Second Place

California industries devoted to the
production and utilization of mineral
structural materials made fine record
for themselves last year. State Miner
aloglst Aubury reports that the total
value represented by their output in
1907 is $9,225,000 in round figures. The
total is somewhat In excess of that and
the final returns may make handsome
addition. Practically all reports have
been received but in a few instances
the figures have not been secured, The
total of $9,225, 900 shows q handsome in
crease of $1.366, 900 as compared with the
aggregate for the preceding year. The
quarrymen and producers and workers
of clay in 1907 practically added as
much wealth to the state as did the
petroleum wells of California in 1906,
when petroleum was the second min
eral product in commercial Importance
Figures that have been received to
date from the producers of California
structural materials for the year 1907
leave the showing, subject to final re-
vision, with annual records as follows:
Paving blocks $20O.440. lime $743, TAO.
limestone $388,014, cement S22q1. OFT.
granite $451, 085, rubble $685. 96. slate
100000, serpentine $4,000 glass sand 49,
1850, sandstone $100,1S4, marble $97,-
1858, clay POTTERY: $219,179, brick So
965,T7O, macadam 1851, 1875.
The largest increase as comma red
with 1906 is to be credited to the brick
makers, who led their record of the
preceding year and increased their out
put from $2,5SS,S48 to $2,965,77O, or
practically $425,000. The lead is then
taken by the cement men, whose OUT
put in 1906 was 1.941 $50, and in 1907
was $2,291,077, gain of about $325, 900.
Notwithstanding the fact that the old
paving blocks in San Francisco were
utilized in repaving the streets in that
city and few new ones were quarried
for local use, the quarrying of paving
blocks for the entire state increased.
There We're gains in lime and limestone,
an increase of more than 100000 in
granite, a substantial advance in the
| production of macadam for the state
more than 100000 increase in the rub
BILE product, and Clay for pottery was
more in demand.
These returns, as received from the
statistician of the state mining bu-
reau," says Aubury, Strongly tend to
confirm the earlier forecast that the to-
tai mineral production of the state for
| 1907 will be found to have exceeded
$50,O00,O00, which is record of good
size. The collection of statistics for
1907 is nearly completed. I shall fol-
low out the plan previously mentioned
and give information as early as pos
| sible to each line of California mineral
industries concerning their accomplish
ments in 1907. which helped to accen-
tuate the growing dignity of mineral
production in this state. Earnest CO.
operation on the part OF all producers
of mineral substances is invited in get
ting together the statistics that will
give due credit to our highly mineral
lied counties. Any producer who has
| delayed his figures is invited to send
them in without waiting"
