Drill records here reveal a comparatively uniform series offine sediments through which the circulation of waters in sufficientamounts to give artesian pressures is scarcely possible. Two orthree deep wells have been drilled near Imperial, but no flow wasobtained, and the water found in limited quantity was too salineto be usable. The northern limit of these nonartesian conditions cannot be predicted closely. North of the southern e
