As they are both vitally necessary in the steel industry, their adequate pro duction has become a matter of no little concern from the standpoint of the successful Completion of the war in which the Nation is now engaged. The contents of the accompanying bulletin represent the labors of five trained field assistants of this Bureau, who were delegated to carry on this work early in the summer of 1917. These data make Up an inven tory of California's manganese and chrome resources, and an attempt has been made to set forth facts relative to the location of all deposits of these metals and to present information which will assist In making them available for early development and utilization. It is believed that material assistance will be hereby rendered to the government of the United States, as well as to all of the parties interested in the development of this branch of the mining industry in California.
