Falling Laa1 Lake, and bands Of cattle
md horses in the nsantains hard By.
I've years ago, While looking after his
eastls in Ibis pen bstvssn Tsllac and
Angora Peak. his Attention va attracted
to the foot tracks Of many Wild animals
al trendins in . certain Direction. He
followed thess tracks and came upon
these springs. He found st various
tines, deer. bear, voodchucks, foxes and
other Wild animals partaking Of. these
watsfs.)
There are, q in most every other To-
cality whore mineral springs are found,
several distinct springs, each discharsing
. different sort Of water. The main
spring here il Redeemed, oil about the
edges, with its deposits Of iron. You
watch it, and up from the tissures in The
rocky bottom yen see great belchinSs of
gas from time to time. These belchings
are irregular, and much more marked at
some times than others. The effects
would seem to be the infusion of the
waters with their sparkling qualities by
these upheavals Of gas. Unless we'll
stored, this water. bottled IS it flows,
will burst An ale Jug. Such is the
strength o, is effervescent properties.)
This one spring flows about 200 Gallons
per hour. Mr.. Gilmore is preparing to
bottle the vatsr on an extensive scale for
the general market. An Analysis by .
skilled chemist shows it to contain these
ingredients, nanely: Carbonic acid. sui
phuric acid, peroxide OK iron. sodium,
bi-carbonstc Of lime. magnesia. silica.
hydrogen sas, organic acids and other
things needless TO mention. The iron il
there in very strong proportions. As =
corrective. tonic and Alternative water this
is found to be most effective agent. l
should say that it far surpssses Napa
soda in its valuable properties. The
other spring. although as vet the waters
are not used. is. TO my mind. the most
promising one Of the two. The water is
almost identical in taste with Congress
Water. only more pungent- Indeed. the
effervescent property of these waters is
something astonishing. Favored with
syrup. it will vie with ~ very choicest
sushings of Willis vorldreuowned Arc
tic fountain with Fifesque attachment.
Now, as to Mr.. Gilmore and his de-
servings, let me say: That he has spent
much time and good deal Of money out
of rather narrow purse. to make these
waters available to invalids and the pub
lie generally. The wagon road which he
has constructed from Falling Leaf Lake
10 the Springs is matter of expense
which none but himself has borne. /
believe the pablic is going to be greatly !
benefited BY Mr. Gilmore's discovery.
and hope he may find it not difficult
matter to get this soda water introduced |
into general use in Nevada and Califor- |
nia. Certainly, the drive from Yank's !
10 the Springs is one of the most inter |
Esting and satisfactory iaunts ever IN
aertook, and is bound to prove a great |
to the public Of sightseers and
tourists.
1 have planned for a solitary horse
back ride tomorrow to the top of Tel !
ac Mountain. From its lofty nights
shall be heard proclaiming words of
cheer and tidinSs of the coming days Of
Light and Glory-if my mustangs cinch
don't break nor other accident occurs.

P. Sour correspondent has come
and gone again-this time for days !,
to the Eastward. He did not |
climb that Mountain.-[ED. APPEAL.
