somewhat widely spaced, fora, Many desert
regions contain numerous settlements, the Sa.

Of 100000. Loose sand is minor feature,
and much more prevalent on the seacoasts and
along tho bottom lands OF rivers. There are
wide areas of bare rocks and the larger des'

The deserts of the southwest are regions
Of very scanty rainfall, parts Of them having
only three inches year and evaporation OF
eighty inches or more.
This canyon is the mile.daep gorge cut by
the Colorado river across the high plateau OF
northern Arizona. The view from the rim
reveals the most stupendous panorama mag

square miles filled with an endless variety OF

disclose large additional supplies of Of
various kinds, especially those Of low grade,
which will prove profitable under improved
methods Of reduction.
The southwest presents a variety OF topo-
graphic features, and many OF its economic
resources are closely related to them. There
is great range in altitude with corresponding
variation in climatic conditions. One of the
most salient features is the wide. high plateau
of northern Arizona, which reaches an alt
tude of 5000 feet, II is surmounted by varl
Gus volcanic peaks. notably San Francisco
peak. which is 1851 feet above sea level.
To the east this district merges into an
irregular series OF high plateaus. constituting
the western half Of New Mexico.
To the west and south It drops by huge
steps into the great region OF desert valleys
or blossoms of Nevada. western Arizona, and
southeastern California. These deserts are
wlde long plains lying between mountain
ridges of varying lengths and heights ridges
which are all very rocky and mostly treeless
and trend north and south.
Diagonally across southern California there

Madre and San Bernardlno mountains. be-
