There is said to be II curious warm
spring III Newark Valley, White Pine
county. 1t puurs out Of the mountain
and affords about 80 inches Of water.
The water is almost torpid when it
first reaches the surface. Along with
the rushing torrent of water there is II
continuous flow 81 small sen shells of
oil sizes and descriptions. The flow OF
wnter Is never effected by the seasons
the snme M other springs In all parts of
Nevada are known to be. Whether the
seasons be wet or day there is no change
in this particular spring. II is un-
changeGble Winter or Summer. There
Is also another ]cuiious feature about II.
II rises and falls ~ regularly ns the
ocean tide. These variations average
about four inches, and are ~ regular us
the sun itself. Can il be that there ~ n
deep s"ubtcrrnncan connection between
this spring and the Pacific OCEAN, Il
certainly behaves that way. and those
who have watched II for years have
come to the conclusion that there is.
