Bureau of Mines engineers F. J. Wiebelt and M. Clair Smith surveyed known asbestos deposits in northern California's serpentine belt for this 1959 circular. It describes chrysotile and amphibole occurrences county by county, with maps, ownership, geology, milling and grading notes, and state production figures since 1887. The authors found that no California deposit had shown enough good-quality chrysotile to be classed as commercially important.
