line Of hills is broken by a natural
pass or gap through which rushes
the surging, foaming waters of the
cascade. This pass is beautiful
beyond description and the most
careless observer of nature can not
help but look at this with wonder
and amazement. Ninety rods to
the southeast of the pass gushes
from the bowels of the earth the
warm waters of the Cascade Miner
al Springs of which there are three
large ones with d few smaller ones
all of which are within IS rods Of
