260 SPRINGS OP CALIFORNIA.

SULPHUR SPRINGS NEAR CUMMESTGS (MENDOCESTO 1).
Near Cummings post office, on the stage road 30 miles northward
from Sherwood, are two sulphur springs which have not been im-
proved but which yield flows of about 5 and 10 gallons a minute
of cool, mildly sulphureted water that is used to some extent for
drinking.
SULPHUR SPRING NEAR HOAGIJN (TRINITY 4).
Near Hoaglin post office, in the southern part of Trinity County,
there is a spring which yields inflammable gas. The water is mildly
sulphureted and has formed a watering place for cattle, but otherwise
the spring has been little used.
A few other sulphur springs issue in the rugged slopes of western
Trinity County, but they have not been improved and are known
to only a few residents. One such spring that has a considerable
flow is said to issue on the side of South Fork Mountains a number
of miles southwest of Weaverville, and others are reported at Wild-
wood and at Coxs Bar.

SULPHUR SPRING IN EUREKA (HUMBOLDT 1).
A spring of moderately sulphureted water is situated at the foot
of H Street, in the city of Eureka. It has been known for a long
time, but in 1910 its water had not been used for two or three years.
The spring is about 50 feet from the shore of Humboldt Bay, and
when examined the water stood 5^ feet below the surface, in an iron
pipe 2 feet in diameter, within a shallow, board-curbed pit. This is
possibly the spring mentioned by Anderson,1 who gives an analysis
showing that the water is a strong brine, containing 30,815 parts per
million of solids in solution and that it is saturated with hydrogen
sulphide.
Another sulphureted water at Eureka, which is obtained from the
Humboldt artesian mineral well, is mentioned among the saline
mineral waters.
MOUNTAIN VIEW SPRING (HUMBOLDT 3).
Mountain View Spring is at a small resort on Mad River, about 28
miles by road southeast of Eureka. In 1910 a hotel of 10 rooms
and a small cottage afforded accommodations for 15 or 20 people.
A small spring of strongly sulphureted water issues on the hillside
600 yards west of the hotel, near a creek that is tributary to
Mad River. Its water has been used occasionally by some ailing
guest, but otherwise little attention has been given to the spring.
