The Hot Springs
 of AYkdHsSds

The legendary history of Hot Springs is as romantic as its history is interesting silce the time the first white man is known to have visited here It is believed that these tiler- nal springs were tho ones sought for as the Fountain of Perpetual Youth by Ponce de Leon. one ot the early Spanish explorers, though in vain De Soto is given the first credit Of discovering Hot Springs and 1t is
 quite certain that he and his explor- 1 ing army spent the winter of 1541-42 here, while directing a search for the fountain of youth as well as for gold Translated writings of cavaliers, who were with the expedition, mentions discovering hot lakes. As there are no hot lakes in this part of America, | it is certain that this is the place re- ferfed to, as up to the time the gov ernmcnt began to make improvements the steaming hot water poured down the mountain side, forming large pools or lakes of hot water The process also formed a deposit called tuba, in- cruising the mountain slope.
 The hot springs were as celebrated among the Indians for curative prop critics as now with civilization. They
 believed the Great Spirit breathed a
 healing power into the waters, and
 the savage breast was filled with such
 sacred awe that in the yallew was inn
 munity from harm and strife. A
 great deal of truth is attached to this
 beautiful tradition, as early French
 trappers and settlers dwelt here in
 peace with Indian neighbors.
