Bradley, state mineralogist, to have been $379,483,000. This is partly detailed in the tabulation, below, but as there, are more than GO mineral substances on Californias commercial list, figures' on the most important items only are available at this early date. The production' report forms are being mailed to the operators in all mineral lines, and the detailed and completed report will be compiled and published later. 0 The estimated total of is an increase of approxi mately $5,157,000 over the 1941 total value. The principal substances showing increases in val ue over the previous year were petroleum, cement, natural gas, miscellaneous stone, borates, potash, quicksilver, tungsten, chromite, manganese ore, iron ore, lead, zinc, and the industrial mineral group. Important minerals to a register decrease in value were gold, silver, and copper. Petroleum output showed an increase of about 16,854,000 barrels in amount and about 5 per cent in value over that of the previous year. The estimated quantity of crude oil was 246,509,000 barrels for 1942.' There were no petroleum changes in crude prices .during the year but the trend of production was towari that of heavier oils.. Natural gas both showed an increase in amount and value of that utilized compared with 1941. Reports of the mint and smelters snow the output of gold to be much less than in 1941. The states yield of tungsten, quicksilver, . lead,' zinc, chromite, man ganese showed marked increases during the year, while copper, gold, and silver showed decreases The .output of quicksilver and tungsten each exeeeded the mi' lion dollar mark as well as gold Of the structural group, ce-- . ment, miscellaneous stone, brick, and magnesite all showed in creases in amount and value over that of 1941.
