Synopsis

Excerpt from Preliminary Report Concerning Explorations and Surveys Principally in Nevada and Arizona: Prosecuted in Accordance With Paragraph 2, Special Orders No; 109, War Department, March 18, 1871, and Letter of Instructions of March 23, 1871

In ascertaining the physical features, your attention is particularly called to the mineral resources that may be discovered, and, where the indications would seem to justify it, you should have minute and detailed examinations made of the locality and character of the deposits.

The influence of climate, the geological formations, character and kinds of vegetation, its probable value for agri cultural and grazing purposes, relative proportions of woodland, water, and other qualities, which affect its value for the settler, should be carefully observed.
