Interesting Information Concerning
Their Production IN the
United States.

As the typhoid germ has become
more aud more at home In the streams
Of our land. the Importance Of oul
mineral springs has been more gen.
orally recognized. Reports received by
the United States geological survey
lof 1902 show. however, that many
spri aS! chat were formerly used IS
sour,s of table water were CONNER
eially abandoned during the previous
yeai. The reports also show a decided
loss in the number OF gallons OF water
sold. and also the value of the prod.
uct--losses ascribed mainly to the fact
that many important springs failed to
report for the year 1903. although they
sent In returns for the previous year.
These losses occur in all sections ex.

The list OF mineral springs reported
FOR 1908 is slightly increased over that

reported sales In 1902. In addition
there are &c springs which report that
