THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, 'ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA' More Than a Million Dollars Annually from California's Natural Resources In the Sierra Nevada Mountains, like the sea. The towering mouneral wealth. Their streams profect feet of timber and some of the thing. Surface are oil wells which pour "Gold" every month. Such is the nonwealth. California's Principal Minerals Days of '49 California became known as the "Golden State." She still leads in the production of gold, which is produced in thirty-two counties and exists in others. Last year the production of gold in California reached $15,800,000. The total value of all these products taken from California's natural storehouses last year was $244,856,910. Valuable Timber Resources To the great wealth of minerals which California's bounty provides must be added $90,000,000 for the lumber cut annually. Great forests of white, yellow and sugar pine and fir sweep southward from the northern boundaries of the State to the San Jacinto Range. In the Coast Range are great forests of redwood. California contains twenty National Forests, whose total area is more than 24,000,000 acres. It is estimated that these National Forests contain 120,000,000 board feet of standing timber, mostly pine, redwood, fir and cedar. The value of this timber is $250,000,000. California’s Principal Minerals In the days of '49 California became known as the “Golden State.” She still leads in the production of gold, which is produced in thirty-two counties and exists in others. Last year the production of gold in California reached $15,800,000. But now many other minerals take their place with gold as sources of the State's wealth. More than one-fourth of the nation's output of petroleum last year came from California. Its value was $182,400,-000. More plebeian, but contributing largely to our wealth, were brick, cement, building stone and crushed rock which aggregated $27,000,000. And in lesser quantities we find that California's mineral production included also silver, copper, lead, zinc, quicksilver, platinum, natural gas, magnesite, salines, including borax, potash, salt and soda, and miscellaneous industrial minerals. California has the largest iron ore deposits west of the Missouri River. California contains twenty National Forests, whose total area is more than 24,000,000 acres. It is estimated that these National Forests contain 120,000,000 board feet of standing timber, mostly pine, redwood, fir and cedar. The value of this timber is $250,000,000. Water Power And finally are tremendous and valuable resources in water power, partly developed and partly undeveloped. It is estimated that there is available about 5,000,000 horsepower in California. This figure includes only the power which is now looked upon as practical—power which may be obtained by the type of plants which is now being installed. About 1,250,000 horsepower has already been developed in the State and plans are now under way for the development of large amounts of additional power.
