PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS. The producer and consumer of mineral products are mutually dependent upon each other for their prosperity, and one of the most direct aids rendered by the Bureau to the mining industry in the past has been that of bringing producers and consumers into direct touch with each other. This work has been carried on largely by correspondence, supplemented by personal consultation. Lists of consumers of all the commercial minerals produced in California have been made available to producers upon request, and likewise the owners of undeveloped deposits of various minerals, and producers of them, have been made. known to those looking for raw mineral products. Sufficient publicity has not heretofore been given to this feature of the Bureau's work, but in 'Mining in California' a suitable medium is provided for current inquiries of this nature, and, therefore, written or verbal inquiries that come to the attention of the Bureau are summarized in each issue. The name of the product wanted or offered, only, is published; the name of the owner of the deposit, or buyer, and other details being supplied upon request. In writing, the reference number of the item should be given. 12-11 Arsenical iron oxide; high in arsenic. 12-12 Potash feldspar (orthoclase). 12-13 Large deposit of arsenic. Mineral Products or Deposits Wanted. 13-1 Arsenical ore; tonnage. 13-2 Gold mine; placer or quartz that can be developed on a rather large scale. 13-3 Bentonite (rock soap). 134 Earth colors; green, blue, yellow, orange, purple, etc; tonnage. 13- Molybdenum: 85% MoS,; 25 tons per month. 13-6 Beryl mineral (not gem quality), 25 tons or over per month. 13-7 Lithia ores; 100-ton lots. Lepidolite 4-5%. Amblygonite 8-9% LiO; Spodumene 6-7%; 13-8 Molybdenum: deposit or tonnage. Lump pumice; 1" to 13" lumps and up; tonnage, EMPLOYMENT SERVICE. Following close upon the establishment of the Mining Division branch offices in 1919, a free technical employment service was offered as a mutual aid to mine operators and technical men for the general benefit of the mineral industry. Briefly summarized, men desiring positions are registered, the cards containing an outline of the applicant's qualifications, position wanted, salary desired, etc., and as notices of 'positions open' are received, the names and addresses of all applicants deemed qualified are sent to the prospective employer for direct negotiations. Telephone and telegraphic communications are also given immediate attention. The Bureau contemplates registering technical men, or those qualified for supervisory positions, and vacancies of like nature, only, as no attempt will be made to supply common mine and mill labor. A list of applicants for positions and 'positions open,' received by the Bureau during each 30-day period preceding the date of publication of the Monthly Chapter is carried in each issue. Each notice is designated by a key number, and communications sent to the Bureau in reply to any notice will be forwarded to the proper party without delay or charge of any kind. If desired, recommendations may be filed with an application, but copies only should be sent to the Bureau, to avoid possible loss. Registration cards for the use of both prospective employers and employees may be obtained at any office of the Bureau upon request, and a cordial invitation is extended to the industry to make free use of the facilities afforded. POSITIONS WANTED. 11-1 Assayer. Technical course completed. Age 29; single. References. Salary wanted $125. 11-2 Manager or Superintendent. Reads, writes and speaks Spanish fluently. Age 42; married. References. Salary wanted $300 minimum. 11-3 Junior Mining Engineer or Geologist. Technical graduate. Two years experience. Age 24; single. Reference. Salary wanted $150 minimum. 11-4 Accounting-office work. Sixteen years experience as chief accountant and auditor. Age 57; single. References. Salary wanted $150-$175. During the month one opening was brought to the attention of qualified applicants. PUBLICATIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE During the past forty-two years, in carrying out the provisions of the organic act creating the California State Mining Bureau, there have been published many reports, bulletins and maps which go to make up a library of detailed information on the mineral industry of the state, a large part of which could not be duplicated from any other source. One feature that has added to the popularity of the publications is that many of them have been distributed without cost to the public, and even the more elaborate ones have been sold at a price which barely covers the cost of printing. Owing to the fact that funds for the advancing of the work of this department have often been limited, many of the reports and bulletins mentioned were printed in limited editions which are now entirely exhausted. Copies of such publications are available, however, in the Bureau's offices in the Ferry Building, San Francisco; Pacific Finance Building, Los Angeles; in Santa Maria; Santa Paula; Coalinga; Taft; Bakersfield; Auburn, and Redding. They may also be found in many public, private and technical libraries in California and other states, and foreign countries. A catalog of all publications of the Bureau, from 1880 to 1917, giving a synopsis of their contents, is issued as Bulletin No. 77. Publications in stock may be obtained by addressing any of the offices of the State Mining Bureau and enclosing the requisite amount in the case of publications that have a list price. The Bureau is authorized to receive only coin, stamps or money orders, and it will be appreciated if remittance is made in this manner rather than by personal check. The prices noted include delivery charges to all parts of the United States. Money orders should be made payable to the State Mining Bureau. |
