204 SPRINGS OF CALIFORNIA.
MOETON SODA SPRING (LAKE 1).

Morton Soda Spring is situated near the mouth of Soda Creek,
which joins South Fork of Eel River about 2 miles south of west of
Hullville. The spring yields a small flow of cool carbonated water
that is very pleasant for drinking, but it has been known and used
only locally.
COOKS SPRINGS (COLUSA 5).

Cooks Springs (PL XII, A, p. 200) have been a well-known summer
resort for a number of years, and the water has long been marketed
for table use. In 1910 accommodations were provided for 150 people
by a well-appointed hotel and a number of cottages. The place is
situated in the lower portion of the Coast Ranges west of Sacramento
Valley, and the grounds extend along two ravines that unite near
the hotel to form a tributary of Stony Creek.
There are three principal springs on the property, the main one
being about 40 yards southeast of the hotel and beneath the roof that
covers a bowling alley. A cemented, covered reservoir has been
constructed at the spring. Over it a small hand pump supplies water
for drinking, and a pipe leads from the reservoir to a bottling house
about 125 yards northward, down the ravine. The spring yields
perhaps 2 gallons a minute of moderately carbonated water, 64° in
temperature, which tastes slightly saline.
The following analysis shows the water to be secondary alkaline in
character with notable primary salinity and alkalinity. The large
proportion of magnesia is also noteworthy.
