CARBONATED SPRINGS. 173

The rocks of the locality are soft sandstones and clay shales.
Along the creek for some distance below the springs there is a con-
glomerate that has probably been cemented by lime carbonate de-
posited from the spring water.

GOBBIS SODA SPRING (MENDOCINO 23).
A small carbonated spring, known as Gobbis Soda Spring, rises at
the base of the hills a mile southwest of the business portion of
Ukiah. A brick-lined, tunnel-like basin has been constructed in the
bank, and in summer the spring is visited for drinking water. As is
true at most of the other carbonated springs, there is considerable
iron stain along its outflow channel, but the water does not seem to
l>e strongly mineralized. The rock at the locality is soft, light-
colored shale that yields a clay soil.

CARBONATED SPRINGS AT SHOEMAKER -DELL (MENDOCINO 22).
At Shoemaker Dell, a mountain resort in the hills 6 miles north-
west of Ukiah, there are a number of carbonated springs that are used
for drinking. They are cool and of small flow, like most of the springs
of the locality. One or two of the springs are said to be magnesic,
and magnesium, derived from serpentinous material associated with
the sedimentary series, may be present in unusual amount. -Accom-
modations for about 50 guests were provided at the property in 1910.
CARBONATED SPRINGS AT HAZEL HILL (MENDOCINO 25).
Three small springs that are used for drinking are situated at Hazel
Hill, a small mountain resort about 35 miles northwest of Cloverdale.
Only one spring has been improved by a cement basin, but they all
furnish cool drinking water. The principal spring is moderately car-
bonated; the other two are respectively sulphureted and ferruginous
in character.
CARBONATED SPRINGS NEAR WENDLING (MENDOCINO 21).
Near Wendling, a lumbering settlement about 45 miles northwest
of Cloverdale, there are two or three small carbonated springs. One
of these was formerly visited by picnic parties, but in recent years it
has become neglected and partly filled up. A 200-foot well that
furnishes part of the water that supplies a mill pond in the neighbor-
hood also yields water that is carbonated.
BAKER MINERAL SPRINGS (MENDOCINO 17).
Baker Mineral Springs are about 18 miles by road east of Willits,
on the banks of a stream that is tributary to Tomki River. The
place has been a small camping resort for several years, and there are
five small mineral springs on the property. At the lowermost spring
