MOJAVE COUNTY.
This county is bounded on the east by the linle of
113 deg. 20 miD. west longitude; on the north by
the parrallel of 37 deg. north latitude; on the west
by the line of the State of California and the middle
of the main channel of the Colorado River, and on
the south by Williams' Fork and the main channel
of the Santa Maria River above its junction with the
latter stream. The seat of justice is established at
Mojave City. This county lies directly north of
Yuma County and is of the same general character.
Ascending the Colorado, the first point of interest
is Williams' Fork, the southern line of the county.
It is the largest tributary of the Colorado, and has
its rise in the interior country almost as far east as
Prescott. It is not navigable, but usually has a
good body of water. Some of the richest copper
mines in the territory are neair to its banks, and have
already been extensively and profitably worked.
Quantities of the ore sent to Swansea have given a
larger return than was expected, and it is clevtrly
demonstrated that it will pay to ship to that place,
or to Boston, if reduction works cannIot be reached
at' nearer poiiit.
