~ GBOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CALIFORNIA Wy Olaf P. Jenkins, Chief Geologist, California State Division of Mines, San, Francisco, Calif. . It seems almost incredible that a sstate the size of California has-been without a geological survey for over. Mhalf a century .Though it is true that ssignificant reports on geology and two state geologic maps have been “issued by the California State Minfing Bureau, it was not until July, 1929, that a full-fledged geological -ssurvey was established as a branch eof the state division of mnies, department of natural resources. The edivision is under the leadersbip of ‘the state mineralogist, Walter W: Bradley. The new geologic branch, or geoWogical and economic mineral survey, “as designated by the state mining Woard, has many duties, but princiwally, at the start, it is to assemble tthe scattered geologic data from all ‘sources. available. To evaluate this Hinformation and to put it in available fform is the next step. To advance tthe study of new geologic problems tis sti a third part of the program. "Nee preparation of a bibliography wascconsidered to be the first logical tatep tin the undertaking. Thousands eof references to California geology Shave been assembled from stacks of fbooks and technical papers, publish¢ed in ‘various parts of the world, and mmany of the authors of these papers zare famous men. : Dr. Solon Shedd of Stanford Uni~versity and one-time state geologist «cof Washington, is the bibliographer, -~well suited to thé work, for he is eeustodian of the Branner Memorial *Geological Library. His manuscript Sis now in press, soon to appear as a Yulletin of the state division of mnines. 2 A geologic map of the entire setate of California, to appear on the sseale of 1:500,000, or eight miles to tthe ineh, represents another project eof assembling geologic data in a useful form. It will take some years be“fore this work is completed, how’ «yer, though the compilation of the map is now well under way; but we amiay be assured of its accuracy and Thigh quality of cartography, for it is #o be engraved by the: U. S. geologietal survey on a co-operative arrangeament with the state. Every reliable detailed geologic wmap will be used in the preparation eof ‘this new wall map, which in its entire form will stand seven feet Thigh. But it ‘will -probably ‘appear @irst in sections, so that parts finishwed before others.may be more speedGly made available. The 36° and 39 warallels divide California into three econvenient parts, and {t is probable that the southern :third -will.-be the @irst to appear; for much “geological ~work in that area has orig esd been «completed. ‘Major features, mcinnas geology; mand the grander structures .of the wtate will be made to appear most yrominent, in order to give.a broad ~view upon the co-ordinated history sf the ancient processes ‘that have Built the rock. construction of .the . @arth’s surface in this part-ef the -~world. There is no country which «contains more diversified geology, more complicated structure, or more interesting problems to entice the wstudent of this useful science than tthe state of California. Strange to say, there appears to Ye only 58 per cent of the state’s carea which has been mapped with ssufficient accuracy to:.be .of use: in ‘this compilation, and-of. this amount wnily 26 per cent has been» published. “The balance, or 32 per cent, will then represent unpublished data, cand this material will be a new conttribution. The remaining 42. per cent . «of the state’s area has not yet been ecarefully surveyed by geologists and mmuch of this territory is not even well covered by ,good topographic Ybase maps, or quadramgles. The job, ‘therefore, which Mes before the di* swision of mines of most importaace: «consists, first of completing the topographic ‘survey of the state, and, second, of finishing the geological mapping.. It is gratifying 6 find much willingness among geological departments of various concerns and of universities to co-operate is the preparation of the geological map of the state. Though the appropriation granted he geological ‘survey has been extremely small, ($20,000 for. the biennium), much work has been accomplished. Contributions of lasting value have been secured, often merely through payment of field expenses for a summer’s work, or the purchase of. necessary equipment, maps, or a set of airplane photographs, one of the most useful tools that geologists have yet discovered. During this last summer, 12 field parties have been carrying on work under the auspices of the geological branch of the state division of mines. Rock formations have been mapped the mineral resources studied, and careful scientific reports, fundamental to the-development and conservation of the state’s natural resources, are being prepared which will be of widespread interest to people in different kinds of business and in various ‘walks of life. Though California has been slow in the development of a systematic geological survey, its is now in order that the state should do a good job of it, using the most modern methods which will stand the test of time. It is a tremendous job merely to bring up to date the scattered work which for half a century has been left unassembled, but once this work of orientation has been accomplished, a future of fair sailing should lie ahead. The division of mines seeks, therefore, the whole-hearted support of the mining industry in the development of the geological survey of California, for geology should stand foremost in the scientific exploration and development of mineral products. @ FOR TESTING COMPRESSION LOSS PLAN In order to determine wheather loss of compression is due to valves or pistion ritigs, the following methad suggested by the Free Emergency Road Service of the California State Automobile Association may be used. First turn the motor with the crank. Then put some heavy oil in the cylinder to be tested, as oil will temporarily seal the rings. Should compression still -be .weak -the trouble is in the valves. ‘ Relieve DOES pain ruin your temper, spoil your looks, interfere with your business or pleasure?

NATION'S TYPICAL BOY AND DOG SOUGHT HERE Wanted -America’s typical boy and dog! The Chapel Kennel Foundation, Rockford, Illinois, in its search for the nation’s typical youngster and canine pal, has appealed to the Nugget for aid in finding them if they happen, to be located in this section. ° Two hundred and fifty dollars in cash and immortality by having their likenesses reproduced in oils on canvas'by a famous artist await the chosen pair, which the Foundation is anxious to preserve for the! inspiration, of futnre generations as a symbol of the high type of chomponship represented by the boy-dog combination of our own day. The winning team will also be represented to many notables, will probably be starred on the radio and in’ the movies, and in general enjoy the plaudits of an admiring multitude. Selections of the winning pair is to be left in the hands of a jury prominent men and women which is now being completed. The choice is to be made from nominations which is invited to submit to the Foundation prior to Sept. 15, 1931, Photographs of contestants may be submitted with the nominations, but a final decision will not be made by the judges untill they have seen and investigated the leading candidates. To be eligible fornomination to must not be under four or over furteen years of agé. The dog must be his own or that of hsi immediate family. The age. size, color or bread of the dog are secondary importance. In inaugurating the boy-dog search L. J. Brosemer, director of the Foundation, stated: “Character building in the young THE NEVADA: CITY NUGGET, CALIFORNIA is one of the great problems of thel. times. The Foundation is convinced that adog makes a boy a better man and is encourging every home with a boy to keep a pure-bred dag. A recent study of a large penal institution revealed the fact that less than Oe percent of its inmates had a pet to play with in their formative years. Through the boy-dog contest, the Foundation hopes to catch the spirit of this comandership and perpetuate it-in some tangible form for this and future generations.’”’ 0 CAUTION ADVISED IN CLOSING DOORS Slaming an automobile door when the glass is up often causes breakage, cautions the Free Emergency Road Service of the California State Automobile Association.
