Excerpt from Geology and Mineral Resources of San Diego and Imperial Counties: December, 1914 The county of San Diego and its former eastern extension, now known as Imperial County, comprise a section of southern California unique in climate, mineral resources and agricultural possibilities. The first of these subjects has become familiar to the tourist and health seeker and has had an important in¿uence in building up the city of San Diego and the population of the surrounding country. The second, to which this report is devoted, is of great interest for its variety, and will be, in the future, as it has been in the past, a matter of substantial financial importance. The agricultural conditions are so inviting that they have attracted world-wide attention and have been so attentively considered that they need not be described in detail here. The following report presents the result of nearly three months of field work in the two counties. In this limited time it was not possible to visit every locality, but, by combining the writer's personal observa tions on the principal properties with other data from reliable sources, all deposits, of any importance or interest, have received attention and are accurately recorded.
