SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

By W. H. Storms, Assistant in the Field.

There has been no marked development of mines in this county since the last report was issued, excepting in some of the districts of the Colorado Desert, of which mention will be made. The general geological and topographical features of this county have been so fully described in former reports that to repeat them here is unnecessary. At various times within the past two years new discoveries have been announced, and these have been developed to a greater or less extent, and in some instances, at least, with encouraging results.
