HISTORY OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
GENERAL HISTORY.
THE TERRITORY.
OUTHERNMOST of the California coun- ties is that of San Diego, lying between the 34th degree of north latitude and the line of the Mexican border. Eastward lies the Territory of Arizona, and on the west it is bounded by the beneficent Pacific Ocean and a small portion of Los Angeles County. Diagon- ally from northwest to sontheast, it is traversed by the mountain ranges of San Bernardino, San Jacinto, and Chocolate. That section which is northwest of the San Jacinto range is known as the Colorado desert, being hot, arid, sterile. The rest of the country is of diversi- fied topography; there are low mountain ranges, softly rolling land, and beautiful smiling valleys, where fruits and flowers reply like a benediction upon the head of labor, and whose climate is ethereal balm.
San Diego County is larger than either of the States of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, or Maryland; and it is nearly as extensive as the combined territory of Massa- chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Draining this wide territory of more than 9,580,000 acres, run to the western ocean, as determined by the general southwesterly slope 1
toward the Pacific, the rivers Tia Juana, Sweet- water, San Diego, San Bernardino, San Luis Rey and Santa Margarita.
Comprised within these limits are great di- versities of climate; from the heights where winter's cold is piercing, to the equable, ever- springlike air of the bay and oceanside regions, and the sheltered warmth of the valleys. The pine from its mountain perch looks greeting to the palm of the seaboard. The hardy apple of the cooler uplands finds its way to where it lies against the tropical cheek of its not distant neighbor, the orange of the vales.
The mountains have long stood jealous guard over a wealth of mineral treasure, that they now begin to yield np to him who comes with the " Open, Sesame!" of Science. From the bowels of the earth have long poured thermal waters, that heal or soothe man's maladies. The sea gives stores, and the earth, and the sun, and the breezes nurture. And mnen, if their hearts be open, realize that here indeed are signs that God made man in his own image, and that he cares for and watches over him, and holds him " as in the hollow of his hand." To recite, briefly, unworthily, and incompletely, how man came into his own and won this rich heritage, is the province of the present writer.

HISTORY OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
EARLY EXPLORATIONS.
Of all the territory comprised in the limits of the present great State of California, the part now known as San Diego County is that first seen by the early Spanish explorers. First among these came Francisco de Ulloa, who in 1539 sailed np the California gulf to the mouth of the Colorado river.
In 1538 General Francisco Vasquez de Cor- onado was appointed Governor of Nueva Galicia. He was of a progressive bent, and for some time he left his province in charge of a lieu- tenant, or acting-governor, while he devoted himself to exploration. Tired by the apocry- phal tales of Fray Marcos de Niza, he raised a small army that in 1540 set out northward for the conquest of Cibola and its seven marvelous cities. His expedition was successful insomuch as that he reached the great cities of the In- dians, however disappointing may have been the conditions he found there. The history of the enterprise is of interest in the present vol- ume only because in connection with it was sent out, in May, 1540, Hernando de Alarcon, with two vessels, to co-operate with the arıny. Alarcon ascended the Colorado, apparently about to the mouth of the Gila, and found, it is claimed, several harbors not discovered by Ulloa. He found that the natives were igno- rant of most of the names quoted by Niza as characteristic of that region, this prompting the suspicion that the good friar had drawn largely on his imagination for his account. The peo- ple told Alarcon also many marvelous tales of things to be seen inland. The river was by these explorers christened the Bnen Gnía (Good Guide).
