120 SPRINGS OF CALIFORNIA.
This analysis probably also represents the general character of the
springs of Hot Creek and also of Kellys Hot Spring.
WARM SPRINGS NEAR RATTLESNAKE CREEK (MODOC 8).
Warm springs that are similar to those of Hot Creek and Warm
Spring Valley issue along the slopes that border Rattlesnake Creek,
about 7 miles above its junction with Pit River and 8 or 9 miles (by
road) northwest of Alturas. They form a small area of natural
meadow land but have not been developed so as to water it efficiently.

WARM SPRINGS NEAR CANYON CREEK (MODOC 7).
Near the head of Canyon Creek, south of the valley of Pit River,
warm springs that are similar in character to those already men-
tioned in this region are used to irrigate a small amount of land on a
ranch.
The region including the five groups of thermal springs last de-
scribed forms a rather mountainous plateau covered with lava.
Faults near the springs are not mapped on Plate III (in pocket),
but crustal movement is suggested by the unusually high tempera-
ture of Kellys Hot Spring, and the rise of heated waters at this and the
other thermal springs of the region may perhaps be ascribed to the
heat of the lavas themselves.
KLAMATH HOT SPRINGS (SISKIYOU 7).
Klamath Hot Springs form an isolated group near the north-
central edge of the State. The springs rise in meadow land that bor-
ders Klamath River near the mouth of Shovel Creek and were for-
merly known as Shovel Creek Mud Springs. The property has been
improved as a resort for more than 20 years and is much visited for
the fishing that is afforded by the river, as well as for the benefit
derived from the baths. In 1909 the improvements included a two-
story stone hotel (PL VII, B, p. 108) and four cottages, besides
bathing facilities.
Five springs and tule-grown pools are formed by the rise of thermal
water in a meadow on the south side of the river, and two other small
springs issue near the northern bank of the stream. Three springs
on the southern side are those chiefly used. The hottest of these, 152°
in temperature, forms a small drinking spring near the river and about
175 yards from the hotel. There is a small bathhouse at another hot
spring near by, and the main bathhouse is 100 yards to the southwest,
at the border of a tule area. Hot-mud baths and also clear-water
baths are here furnished by water that rises in the marshy area. The
following are analyses of the main drinking and bath springs:
