SULPHUR SPEINGS. 261

most of which contains glaucophane, then appears as the road is
followed southeastward up a steep grade nearly to Kneeland post
office, which is about 20 miles from Eureka. Chert is exposed at this
place and extends, interspersed with a few areas of serpentine,
southeastward nearly to Mountain View Spring. The spring
issues in an area of andesitic lava, which is exposed on the lower
slopes near the resort. Serpentine appears above the andesite, on the
slopes across the creek and a short distance southeast of the spring,
and tremolite schist was observed still higher up the hillside.

COOK SPEING (HUMBOLDT 4).
Cook Spring is about 7 miles south of Mountain View Spring
(Humboldt 3, p. 160), or 35 miles by road southeast of Eureka. It is
situated near the north bank of North Yager Creek, and 10 yards
below the road, near the point at which the road crosses the stream a
quarter of a mile east of laqua. A pool 14 inches in diameter here
forms a drinking basin that is used occasionally by travelers and
by the cattle of the surrounding range.
Several other sulphur springs of small flow issue in the upper
portions of the basin of North Yager Creek, but they are unimproved
and are even less important than Cook Spring. ,A small sulphur
spring at Felts Springs (Humboldt 5, p. 300) is mentioned in the
description of the saline springs at that place.
The southern boundary of the andesite along the road from
Mountain View Spring to Cook Spring is about 2 miles south of the
former place. Mica schist that contains glaucophane extends from
that point to and beyond Cook Spring and also westward along the
road to a point about 6 miles in a direct line east of Fortuna.
Unaltered sediments extend from this point northwestward to the
coast. In the schist there are lenses of limestone, and many small
sink holes have been formed by the partial solution and removal of
this material.
DEERLICK SPRINGS (TRINITY 3).
Deerlick Springs are situated in the deep, rugged canyon of Browns
Creek, 28 miles by road and trail south of Weaverville. They are
also reached by 9 miles of trail northward from the Midas mine
in Harrison Gulch (Knob post office). They have long been known
as Coumbs Springs and have been a local camping resort. A supply
store was formerly conducted during the summer in a cabin that
was built near the springs more than 20 years ago. During 1909
the property changed hands, and the present name was adopted.
There are five strongly sulphureted springs on the property, all
on the west side of the creek. Two of them, known as the Blue
