156                  SPRINGS  OF  CALIFORNIA.
             The springs issue from slopes composed  of  tuff  and  rhyolitic  lava.
           The  following  analyses  show  that  the  water  of  the  two  drinking
           springs  is  secondary  alkaline  in  character  and  contains  a  relatively
           large proportion of magnesium and iron.

                             CONGRESS  SPRING  (NAPA  14).
            .  Congress  Spring is  situated  at the base  of  a low hill  of  tuff,  about
           31  miles  southwest  of  Napa.   It  yields  about  one-half  gallon  a
           minute  of  carbonated  saline  water,  and  a  considerable  amount  of
            alkaline material forms  011  the surface near by.  The spring has been
           protected  by  a board  curbing,  and  a small  amount  of  the  water has
           been sold locally,  but it has  been of  little importance  as  a  marketed
           water.
                               .ETNA  SPRINGS  (NAPA  2).
             Near  the  head  of  Pope  Valley,  about  20  miles  in  a  direct  line
           northwest  of  Jacksons  Napa  Soda  Springs,  a  large  resort  has  been
           built  up  at  yEtna  Springs  (Lidell  post  office).
             The  property,  which  borders  Pope  Creek,  formerly  belonged  to
           the  yEtna  Quicksilver  Mining  Co.,  and  the  locality  once  produced
           much  of  the  metal.  After  mining  was  discontinued  in  one  of  the
           tunnels  the  water in it was  observed  to be  mineralized,  and  as  early
