1. Devils Kitchen springs.
2. Bumpass Hot Springs.
3. Morgan Hot Springs, the northwestern of two pools 75 yards northeast of log bathhouse.
In 1910 the water from springs in Devils Kitchen had not been
made use of, but as the place is easily accessible from Hot Springs
Valley it was visited by camping parties as a place of scenic interest.
DRAKE HOT SPRINGS (PLTJMAS 4).
Drake Hot Springs issue along the side of Hot Springs Valley about
1^ miles east of Devils Kitchen. For many years the property has
been a camping resort and within recent years accommodations for
guests have been provided during the summer months.
The springs are scattered for a distance of 100 yards or more,
mainly along the slope on the south side of Warner Creek, but one
of the principal springs, which yields about 3 gallons a minute of
water 128° in temperature, issues from a seam in rock at the south
edge of the creek. In 1910 a small bathhouse and a wooden tank
that was used as a plunge bath were supplied with hot water from
three springs 40 or 50 yards south of the creek. These springs yield
a total of perhaps 15 gallons a minute at temperatures of. 123°, 146°,
and 148°. The peculiar characteristic of this water is its appar-
ently slight mineralization, for it has no noticeable taste and only
a slight odor of hydrogen sulphide. At three or four places on
the bank above the creek, however, are deposits of lime carbonate,
