CARBONATED SPRINGS. 175

side there is a lime-carbonate mound 20 feet in diameter that was
also probably formed by deposition from a former carbonated spring.
Water from Kinsner Spring has been bottled and sold in Willits for
table use.

CARBONATED SPRING ON WHITE RANCH (MENDOCINO 16).
On the White ranch north of the road, about 1J miles west of
Kinsner Spring, there is another small carbonated spring. It has not
been improved and is visited only by an occasional hunter or cattle-
man.

CARBONATED SPRING ON SNIDER RANCH (MENDOCINO 15).
A short distance west of the White ranch there is a similar spring
on the Snider ranch south of the road. It has not been improved
and is known only locally. The same kind of sedimentary rocks that
were noted farther east seem to form the hills in this neighborhood.

CARBONATED SPRING SOUTHWEST OF WILLITS (MENDOCINO 19).
In the mountains west of Willits Valley there are several minor
carbonated springs which form drinking pools that are known mainly
to hunters. One of these is in a ravine well up on the slopes, about
10 miles by road and trail southwest of Willits. The water here rises
in a small triangular basin in the rock. It forms a good drinking
pool, but, like most of the springs of this kind, its yield is insignificant.

CARBONATED SPRING WEST OP WILLITS (MENDOCINO 10).
On the stage road to Mendocino, about 7 miles by road west of
Willits, there is a carbonated spring that is known to travelers over
the route. Its water is cool and pleasantly carbonated, but its flow
is slight. A small amount of iron is deposited along the run-off
channel.
CARBONATED SPRING IN BIG BASIN (MENDOCINO 9).
About 15 miles west of Willits, in a timbered valley that is known
as the Big Basin, there is a carbonated spring that is known mainly
to lumbermen. Considerable amounts of iron stain its channel, but
the yield of water is small.
CARBONATED SPRINGS NEAR LONG VALLEY CREEK (MENDOCINO 8).
In the canyon and tributary ravines of Long Valley Creek, about
7 miles northward from Sherwood, there are a number of small
mineralized springs. Several carbonated springs emerge within a
space of 100 yards or more along the creek, two or three others are
faintly sulphureted, and in one ravine carbonated water issues that
deposits considerable iron. In 1910 none of the springs had been
