The analyses show that the waters of these springs are alike in
many respects, the chief points of difference being the small pro-
portion of secondary bases and alkalinity in the Excelsior and the
small proportion of primary alkalinity in the Neptune. The high
concentration, high tertiary alkalinity, and magnesic character of all
the springs and the iron content of the Eureka are specially note-
worthy. The absence of any report on the sulphate radicle casts
doubt on the trustworthiness of the analyses.
All the springs issue in an area of serpentine within the shales and
sandstones that form the principal part of the hills in this locality.
The springs have been improved as a resort since about 1880. In
1909, besides a main hotel building and the baths, the improvements
included a large annex to the hotel and four or five small cottages.
Waters from the Lithia, Bohemia, and Eureka springs were formerly
bottled for table use, but their sale was discontinued several years
prior to 1909.
SEIGLEB SPRINGS (LAKE 49).
Seigler Springs are situated about 2 miles northwest of Howard
Springs, across a ridge and in the drainage basin of another
creek. Like Howard Springs, they have been used as a resort for
many years. The group includes 13 that in 1909 were improved to
some extent. Of this number 6 are of small flows, range in tempera-
