as containing sulphureted-carbonated springs. The twelfth spring
seeps from, massive sandstone two-fifths of a mile up the ravine from
the hotel. Iron-stained lime carbonate is dpposited by it on the rock
face and indicates that the spring is similar in chemical character
to the springs of the main group.
The following analyses of four springs at Saratoga show the water
to be primary and secondary alkaline. The prominence of magnesium
is an interesting chemical feature of the water.

1,2, 3, 4. Separate springs, names not given.
CARBONATED SPRING NEAR NORTHWEST EDGE OF CLEAR LAKE
(LAKE 21).
About 3 miles south of the town of Upper Lake a small carbonated
spring rises in the alluvium near the lake edge, but it has not been
improved and is little used. It forms a small, iron-stained pool that
may be occasionally visited by a hunter or fisherman.
CARBONATED WELL NEAR TIPPER LAKE (LAKE 19).
In connection with the existence of the carbonated spring just
described, two flowing wells in the locality, which yield noticeably
carbonated water, may be mentioned. One of these is near the north-
ernmost extension of Clear Lake, north of the carbonated spring, and
is one-half mile south of the town of Upper Lake. It is situated on
the Taylor place, is 2| inches in diameter, and was sunk about 1905
to a depth of 108 feet. In 1910 it yielded about 5 gallons a minute
of cool, slightly carbonated water. It was used only for domestic
purposes.
