                      HIGHLAND  SPRINGS  (LAKE  39).
       The property at Highland Springs has been improved  as  a resort
     for 25 years or more.  It is situated on the stage road between Hop-
     land  and Kelseyville  and  6  miles southwest of the latter place.  In
     1910 a large frame hotel and half a dozen cottages situated in a small
     flat  along the  course  of  Adobe  Creek  provided  accommodations for
     200 guests.
       Eleven  springs,  or  10  individual  springs  and  1  group,  may  be
     recognized here.  One  of  these,  the  Seltzer  Spring,  emerges  at  the
     base of a gentle slope  about  150  yards southeast of the hotel.  The
     others  issue  west  to  northwest  of  the hotel in  a  distance  of  about
     225 yards along the western bank of the creek.  Seltzer Spring, which
     is  protected  by  a  latticed  spring  house,  rises  in  a  cemented  basin;
     the  recorded  temperature  of  the  water is  59°  and  its  discharge  is
     perhaps  1  gallon  a  minute.  The  water  is .strongly  carbonated  and
     deposits considerable iron.
       Neptune  Spring,  the  southernmost  of  those  along  the  creek,  is
     about 100 yards west of the hotel.  The spring rises in a small drink-
     ing pool in the center of  an oval  cemented basin, several feet across,
     on  a  gentle  slope  at the base  of  a low  bank.  The  water has  a  re-
     corded  temperature  of  66°.  Its  flow is slight,  but it is piped to  a
     small bathing plunge a few yards away.  'At the base of a small bank
     '50  or  60  yards  northward  and  nearer  the  creek,  Diana  Spring  and
     Magnesia Spring rise in cemented basins  a few yards  apart.  Water
     from the former supplies a small bathing plunge near by, whereas the
     lattc- is used only for drinking.  The recorded temperatures of these
     springs were 80° and  68°,  and  their flows were,  respectively,  about 4
