Where, at the Glendale hotel is superior
accommodations The atmosphere of this,
5000 feet elevation, is unsurpassed, while
the water of the region is renowned
throughout the State and is largely trans
ported to the valley for domestic purposes.
The locality is IN the midst of the resinous
woods. The scenery is far superior 10 that
of the Alpine regions, and the whole sec
ton is broad invitation to hunter, angler,
botanist, geo4ogist, -aTtist and invalid.
From near this point the renowned artists
of the country have made some o. their
best studies of the great canyonsSCf the
American and the y uba. For quiet,
strength giving, health terrifying resort, we
know of no more convenient, romantic and
easily attaiEable spot. 1t is reached from
Sacramento in few hours of rail travel
through the finest scenery of the Sierras.
We cannot, obviously, mention insletail all
the springs that bid for public favor in this
State; we enumerate, however, Anew more.
THE BONANZA SPRINGS
Are in Lake county eight miles from Lower
Lake, at fine elevation. in the midst of
rare scenery, and possess aforementioned
properties. The hotel accommodates forty
guests. Seigler Servings, in the same dis
trict, and but two miles distant, and six
from Glenbrook, are popular likewise In
the same region are Howard Hot and Cold
Springs, fourteen in number, five miles
from Hardin Springs, six from Glenbrook
and thirty-three from Calistoga There is
good hotel accommodation and camping
privileges. All these are reached by the
way of Calistoga by rail, thence by stage
Anderson Springs are nineteen miles from
Calistoga, and the hotel accommodates fifty
guests. The waters, like those of the 9TH |
ers, are highly favorable to the cure of kid |
ney diseases, rheumatism and liver com
plants, and the climate is strengthening
and the pleasure invitations very fine |

tonic, corrective and purifying the bath

Spring, so-called, is said by old tourists to
be the very counterpart of the famous Ems
Springs of Europe. In all this Lake region
there are charming sheets of water.
CLEAR LAKE
Is a broad expanse of from twenty-five to
thirty miles in length, navigated by steam
erS, and the shores notable for beauty of
scenery, mountain walls and valley APP
proach, and the plentitude of sport for the
hunter and angler, and of opportunities
for the artist and botanist. All the springs
named in Lake county and that region. are
also to be reached, and are best reached, by
valley people from the east side, by rail to
Williams per Northern railway branch of
the Southern Pacific Railroad to Williams,
and thence by stage lines. Indeed in many
cases the stage routes are shorter and better
than from Calistoga, and the ride far more
pleasant. Take Hough's Springs for exam
pie, located thirty-two miles from Will
Jams, which is reached over most attract
i've route in about three hours ride by rail
from Sacramento. The stage road is fine
and the scenery very superior. They are
IN TIE midst OF a fine wooded country at an

GUS hotel and numerous cottages.

Than
BARTLETT SPRINGS,

: from Sacramento The springs were dis
covered in 1870. and at once became famous
for their remarkable cures. At times there
have been 80 people there in hotel and cot
tages, and 500 in camp, at one time. One
spring boils, as it were, with the escape of
fcarbonic acid gas. and is SO strong as to de-
stroy bird life that comes near it. There
aress0O soda, iron and magnesia springs
and others. Some of the springs are so
large as to throw out constantly large
streams of water The main spring is
especially sought by those afflicted with
uterine catarrh, dropsy, etc The water is
