Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the State Mineralogist: For the Year Ending May 15, 1885 The prosperity of the Mining Bureau, and the growth and progress of the State Museum, since the publication of the last report, have been as remarkable as they are satisfactory. The usefulness of the institution is now more generally admitted, and the unexampled and rapid growth of the Museum is proof that the Bureau was needed and is receiving the cooperation of the people. Otherwise it would have been impossible to make so large and valuable a collection with the amount of money placed at the disposal of the State Mineralogist.
