WALL SPRINGS (SONOMA 10).
Wall Springs are situated on the side of a large ravine near the
northern border of the valley of Russian River, 14 miles northwest
of Santa Rosa. The property has been improved for a number of
years as a resort, accommodations being provided in 1909 by a small
hotel and three cottages.
Five springs issue near the buildings, in cemented basins 10 to 30
yards apart, at the bases of small banks on the slope. They are
designated, respectively, as Potash, Sulphur, Magnesia, Clearwater,
and Iron springs. When they were seen all were probably diluted
with surface water, but the Potash Spring tasted distinctly alkaline
and the Sulphur and the Magnesia springs were noticeablysulphureted;
the other two had no distinctive taste. Water from the Sulphur
Spring has been piped to a tank near by and has been heated for
bathing. The other springs have been used only for drinking. All
apparently yield flows of less than 1 gallon a minute. Their re-
corded temperatures ranged from 47° in the Clearwater Spring to
63° in the Sulphur Spring. Although their flows were so slight and
their basins were about equally exposed to the weather, the noticea-
bly higher temperatures of the distinctly mineralized springs indicate
that the chemical changes that cause their mineralization also pro-
duce observable amounts of heat.
