The grades in the Tejon Pass were much greater than I had anticipated, and, owing to thenature of the ridges, it is not possible to reduce them by side-cuttings. These difficulties consistin steep and rugged ravines, which furrow the mountains on each side and descend to thevalley of the pass. A view of one of these side-ravines from the trail is given in wood-cut on page 34.I think the difficulties presented by the grades, taken in connexion with the tunnel thatwould be required, render this pass unfit for railroad purposes. CANADA DE LAS UYAS. Before commencing the survey of this pass, a line nearly straight was run across the Tejon toits entrance, to ascertain the absolute height above the sea of that point, assuming that thealtitude of the Depot camp had been correctly ascertained. We found its altitude to be 193feet above camp, or 1,640 feet above the sea.</i> <b>Text Appearing After Image:</b> <i>TULARE VALLEY, AND ENTRANCE OF THE CANADA DE LAS UVAS. This pass possesses some peculiarities worthy of note, for the line of survey may be said togo around the end of the Sierra Nevada, the pass being at the junction of the Siena Nevada 26 COMPAEISON OF PASSES. with the Coast range. The ridges of the latter curve around the southern end of the Tularevalley and form its boundary. At the foot of these ridges, and on the south side of theentrance to the pass, there are low rounded hills, much cut up by ravines, and often present-ing precipitous banks, apparently of clay. (See Plate VII.) Mr. Blake describes these hills asof sedimentary origin, and of the age of the Tertiary.1 After entering the pass, we ascend astream flowing from it into the Tejon, fed by springs situated about half way to the summit. In the ravine of this brook the bases of the mountains approach closely, forming but a narrowvalley ; but still ascending beyond the springs, the valley opens out to a plain from one-half</i> <b>Note About Images</b> <i>Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.</i>
