Mr.. j. III. Evans informs us that the
new bath house at the MammothSprings
is now in condition to receive bathers
although it is not vet completed. 1t is
a substantial building 20x50 in size,
divided into two apartments, one for
ladies and the other for gentlemen,
each room containing good-sized
swimming pool, where guests fond of
swimming can satisfy their desires in
this direction. The water at these
springs is slightly cooler than that at
the marble bath house but is similar in
medical properties.

1.-The dam that Fr-l bull" is not as
substantial a structure as outward APP
pearances would seem to indicate or as
the protector had intended that it should
he. We have always contendcd that
these are the most powerful mineral
waters in the world and this opinion
has been confirmed by its effects and
enormous pressure upon said dam.
The dam shows some signs of weakening
