amounted to $19,815.80 for salaries, chemicals, traveling, and other 

 expenses. 



Governor Hayes, in his annual message of 1871, called attention to 

 the fact that the future wealth and population of the State would 

 depend largely upon the mining and manufacturing interests. While 

 not questioning the benefits to accrue to agriculture from the survey, 

 he emphasized the truth that the tendency was to encourage the 

 employment of labor and capital in mining and manufacturing 

 enterprises, and recommended that the work be continued and sus- 

 tained by ample appropriations. In response an appropriation of 

 $20,900 Avas made later in the session. 



PuhlicaUon of Second Annual RefoH. — The annual leport of 1870 

 was transmitted to the general assembly March, 1871. The governor 

 reported that he liad been advised that the first volume of the final 

 report was nearly ready for publication and would be sent to the 

 legislature during that session. He suggested that measures be 

 immediately taken for printing it. 



By joint resolution it was decided that the report for 1870, by J. S. 

 Newberrj^ chief, including reports of E. B. Andrews, Edward Orton, 

 and J. H. Klippart, assistants; T. G. Wormley, chemist; and G. K. 

 Gilbert, M. C, Read, Henry Newton, and W. B. Potter, local assist- 

 ants, be printed at once as the annual report for 1870, in the same 

 form and style as the annual report of 1869, to the number of 2,500 

 copies; and provision was made for their distribution. 



The character of the work, replete with statistics as it was, did 

 not gain for it the wide popularity the report of 1869 had enjoyed. 

 For the same reason its greater intrinsic worth can not be questioned. 

 Two thousand copies of this report were ordered printed in German. 



No pains was spared to secure the proper distribution of the re- 

 port. The supervisor of public printing was directed to deliver to 

 the governor 150 copies for distribution to the American, English, 

 French, and German magazines and papers devoted to mining and 

 science; to the principal libraries of the United States, England, 

 France, and Germany ; and to the libraries of each State and Terri- 

 tory. Further, the librarian of the Ohio State library was required 

 to accommodate inquiries for the work from literary institutions, 

 historical societies, colleges, and similar organizations from 200 

 copies granted for the purpose. One thousand copies of the report 

 were lost in some manner, and measures were taken to prevent the 

 recurrence of such loss. 



Tr<97'Z^ of 1871. — Throughout the year 1871 the work of the corps 

 progressed rapidly and satisfactorily. Quite a number of additions 

 was made to the local working force, several of these being unpaid 

 volunteers. Four parties were constantly in the field engaged mainlj'^
