CARBONATED SPRINGS. 219
TABLE BOCK SPRING (SISKtYOTT 9).
Three carbonated springs on the northeast side of Shasta Valley
may be considered to be in the same general locality as those near
Little Bogus Creek. The principal one is on the Terwilliger ranch,
12 miles east of Montague. It is situated a few hundred yards north
of Little Shasta River and near the northern base of a flat-topped
hill known as Table Rock. During 1909 the water was placed on
the market under the label ''Table Rock Water."
At this place there is a very low mound of lime carbonate about
100 yards in diameter, from near the center of which the spring
rises, mainly from an irregular fissure 12 feet long and 1 inch to
30 inches wide, along which the water is continuously and vigor-
ously bubbling. This fissure has been protected by a concrete wall
2^ feet high. In a bottling house beside it water for bottling has
been obtained by a hand pump from a basin or well 1 foot in diameter
and 10 feet deep. Near the bottling house there is also a shallow
bubbling pond, 8 or 10 yards across. The water is not notably
thermal, as it has a temperature of only 65°, but otherwise its occur-
rence is similar to that of the springs near Little Bogus Creek. It is
more strongly carbonated, however, and much less salty, and it
probably contains considerable iron, as it deeply stains its overflow
channel.

CARBONATED SPRING AT EDGE OF LITTLE SHASTA RIVER (SISEIYOTJ 8).
Two miles downstream from Table Rock Spring, and half a mile
east of Little Shasta post office, strongly carbonated water rises from
lava gravel at the southern edge of Little Shasta River, 30 yards
north of a low lava bluff. The spring yields about 8 gallons a minute
of water, 57° in temperature. It rises clear but is said to become
cloudy, probably from a small amount of precipitated iron, after
being bottled for a short tune. Considerable iron-stained, cemented
gravel is exposed in a stream bank 50 to 100 yards above the spring,
and indicates that carbonated water formerly issued farther up-
stream. The spring has been protected by a short piece of heavy
galvanized-iron casing, but it is in pasture land some distance from
the road and has not been much used.

MARTIN SODA SPRING (SISEIYOTT 11).
The third of the carbonated springs near Shasta Valley issues on
the ranch of Mrs. M. F. Martin, near the southern base of Table Rock,
about a mile southward in a direct line from Table Rock Spring.
The Martin spring rises in a cemented basin at the edge of a creek.
Its water is clear, cool (55°), and strongly carbonated, but its yield
is only about 1 gallon a minute. Like the water of the spring at the
