Indian Guide:-Within one-half mile
Of the school we have a mineral hot
spring. The water boiling up in the
center forms very pretty little lake
to which there is an outlet, which,
after a circuitous route of mile or
more, emptieS into Little Wind river
The water of this spring has many
mineral properties, and is especially
effective in cases of rheumatism For
bathing and swimming purposes it is
unsurpassed. There are several bath
houses built around the edges of the
lake, where the water is cool enough.
The bathing is enjoyed by all within
reach of it, but none SO much as the
school children, to whom it is a weekly
picnic.
