The mineral wealth of Southern California is not yet
appreciated. Among the rare minerals which promise much is a
very large deposit of tin in the Temescal Canon, below South
Riverside. It is in the hands of an English company. It is
estimated that there are 23 square miles rich in tin ore, and
it is said that the average yield of tin is 20-1/4 per cent.
