!. About twenty miles from Carson City,
Nevada, are some mineral springs called
Steamboat Springs, from the noise they
make, which sounds like several steamers
discharging steam. These springs cover an
area. of about three acres, The water is
boiling hot, and the escaping steam can be
seen for several miles before sunrise, and
the atmosphere in the vicinity is filled with
the smell of sulphur. There are crevices
in the rocks where the water can be seen
boiling at a depth, of thirty feet. There is
also a spring which is called Breathing
Spring It is shaped much like a well.
The water recedes to- the depth of ten or
twelve feet, and remains calm for five min,
lutes and then commences to boil, and rises
until it shoots into the air above ten feet,
and in five minutes it lbegins to- recede.,5 4:
