South of the district affected by the earthquakethe same geological fault continues for at least twohundred miles. It parallels the San Benito River toits headwaters, and continues in the mountains be-yond. Its southern limit is uncertain; some claimto have traced it through Southern California andacross the Colorado Desert to Arizona. It is but one of a number of such faults in Cali-fornia. The long narrow valleys of the State, paral-leling its straight mountain ranges, are no doubt. PJtotfls by Derleth Pajaro River Bridge and Salinas Sugar Mill
