CURIOUS Discovery ON THE DESERT
SODA SPRINGs.-The party engaged in the
survey of public lands, under Mr.. Pool,
found at point about fifty miles east of
San Felipe, in San Diego county, singu-
lar collection of fountains or springs of So
da Water, situated in a sandy plain or de-
preston in the surface of the desert. The
spring is in mound of symmetrical shape,
tapering like a sugar loaf, in the centre of
the top of which is hole, unfathomable,
containing the carbonated beverage, fresh
from some natural laboratory below. Some
of these mounds are six feet high, and
clothed with q green and luxuriant coat of
grass, while others are shaped like an in
verted bowl and fringed by growth Of
cane. The water is described as having
the same sparkling and effervescent prop
erty as that ordinarily sold by apothecaries
and was drunk with avidity by both the
men and animals belonging to the party.
When impregnated with acid Of any kind,
it produced instant effervescence, and in
that form is peculiarly refreshing as a
drink. Some Of it has been brought in, in
order to be chemically tested, with view
to make the discovery of some practical
utility.
