List of Altitudes in Butte County, California. 



The following letter is from Professor H. M. Wilson, of the United States 

 Geological Survey, who has kindly furnished the altitudes of ninety-seven 

 prominent points in Butte County; also, correcting some errors in the list of 

 altitudes published one year ago. The list is a valuable one and should be 

 preserved for future reference. The Professor has gone to considerable 

 trouble and much labor in working up these altitudes for our convenience. 

 As this opportunity offers, in behalf of the citizens of Oroville and vicinity, 

 we thank the Professor and his assistants for this and many other favors 

 we are indebted to him:

Mr. H. Arents: I send you herewith a list of altitudes on the various roads in Butte 

 County. I have not, unfortunately, time enough at my disposal to work out the various 

 distances along the roads. 



Yours sincerely, 



H. M. WILSON.
