Near cur camp was one of these springs,
where, from a small opening in the bank of
the creek, flowed pure soda water, strongly
charged with tafhuhiJ atld GAS The shir6und-
Ing soil was OF fcrrneinOus character, and
the deposit of soda in and around the spring
was stained by bright red color. Making
some Syrup with bottled lime lulCe, we spent
s0tic time al the spring, where, from our natur-
al fountain, we dipped the water. aud dranb it
to our hearts content Elefating the dipper,
we puurcd the water into the syrup, and drank
it tOamnT and sparkling, as good, il not better,
than any we drank at home. Walking down
the river bank for about half a mile We found
another spring Of week solution Of sodd hut
50 strongly charged with caTbouic aCld gas that
il buhblcd and boiled, throwing the water at
least foot in height This fountain was in
beautifully rounded basin of soda deposit, the
white salt and iron deposit making pretty
natural receptacle about one foot in diameter
and perfectly symmetrical. Near ly were seva
craI assures in the earth, where the carbonic
acid gas alone escaped iurcibly. Willie the
ground surrounding these openings was
quite warm. The aforementioned spring,
