Excerpt from Mines and Mineral Resources of Del Norte County, Humboldt County, Mendocino County The three counties presented herewith constitute the northernmost coast group, being at the northwest corner of the State and bordering on the Pacific Ocean.

Eureka, Fort Bragg and Crescent City being the principal ports. The Northwestern Pacific Railroad has now been completed. through to Eureka, giving all but the extreme northern section a direct rail route to San Francisco. A railroad connection to Crescent City is at present under construction from Grant's Pass, Oregon. The principal industries of this district are lumbering, dairying and agriculture, the mineral output, except for Humboldt, being as yet small. The undeveloped mineral resources, however, are great, the exploitation of which is dependent mainly on improved transportation facilities.
