been obliged. in order to get at some final re
| suit this season, to choose as field OF action
other portions OF the State, where the basis o.
| the surveys in the form of the great triangula
| tion has already been carried cut by the geo
| logical surveys bureau in the interest of the
geological survey proper.
During the coming fall and winter it is hoped
to commence the Irrigation surveys in the
southern counties. 1t would be premature, in
fact almost impossible, for me to say now, just
what will be done there first, but we will cer-
tainly consider the extreme necessity which
there exists, and not overlook the just claims
of that section. Be 1t remembered, however,
that the appropriation for this work, when
spread over the vast country west of the vail ey
OF the Mississippi, as it has to be spread, is
small over each locality. and no single section
of country can hope to have great deal done
for 1t as an initial work.
am thus cautious inewriting, becauseI must
avoid holding out hopes which may not be real.
ized but assure you that Southern California,
before year passes. will have her due share of
consideration at my hands, as Supervising En-
gineer.
Another consideration which ] had nearly
overlooked, and which would prevent the pros.
ecution of work to advantage, in the most arid
regions of your section during these months, ia
that of climate. We are expected to make the
studies OF irrigation of the more arid and heated
desert lands, during the winter months; this. at
least, Is general rule which we are forced to
follow.

Monthly Meteorological Summary.
Los ANGELES, July, 1889.

GOING TO CAMP.
The National Guard Leaves This
Morning.

= u
Morning.
The First Brigade, N. G. c., start this
morning for Camp Dimond. Seven
companies, sggregating about $50 rank
and 6le, are expected to be in camp by
supper time. The companies stationed
in the city will assemble at the armory
and march to the depot, taking special
train at 10 O'Clock for the camping
ground. The Anaheim and Pomona
companies will board the train at their
respective towns, and the San Diego
company and the detachment of regu-
lars ordered into camp by Gen. Grierson
will join forces and proceed to the camp
ing ground by the dummy line from San
Diego.
D;ess parade will be dispensed with
for the first day, the only ceremony be-
ing guard mount. On Sunday, however,
the brigade will observe all the calls.
While the three companies from this
city have been encamped before, this
will be the occasion of the first encamp-
ment of the entire brigade. The encamp-
ment is held in compliance with the law,
which requires an annual encampment
of the militia, the object of which is to
make the troops thoroughly familiar
with camp and active military life.
Strict discipline will be maintained, and
the brigade will be put through all the
military evolutions.
Although great portion of the time
will be devoted to drills, there will be
ample opportunity afforded for recrea-
ton, and it is expected to make the en-
campment as much of a social as mill
tary success.
General Grierson, commanding the
Department of Arizona, has taken a
great interest in this encampment, and,
in addition to ordering company of the
United States army into camp, has de-
tailed Captain III. X. Bailey, of his staff,
to attend the encampment and observe
the work of the brigade, and report the
results of his observation to the War
Department.
Brigade Quartermaster A. w. Barrett,
with First Lieutenant James E. Mack,
Quartermaster of the Seventh Regiment,
and detail from the regiment, left for
the camping ground Thursday to erect
the tents and make all necessary prepar-
atoms for the reception of the troops.
All the supplies will be sent from San
Dego, and each company will do Its own
cooking.
The brigade will be encamped from
August Sd to the 18th inclusive.
