Abstract
THE State of Colorado is one of the most famous in the history of American mining, but though its Geological Survey was created in 1872, and has included on its staff some distinguished men, it has done comparatively little, for it remained practically without funds until 1908. The Survey has now been provided with an annual subsidy and a staff, Mr. R. D. George being State geologist with sixteen assistants. Its first annual report has been issued, and shows that the Survey has been organised on sound lines, for it contemplates cooperation with the Federal Survey and private local geologists, and the advancement of local education by presenting a collection to illustrate the mineral wealth of Colorado to every high school in the State.
