1. Nipicuro Spring. Analyst and authority, F. M. Eaton (1909). Sample from spring having the
greater flow.
2. Nipicuro Spring. Analyst, T. W. Melia (1911). Authority, owner of springs. Taken from a sani-
tary analysis of water bottled direct from spring.
3. Nipicuro Spring. Analyst, S. C. Dinsmore (1909). Authority, owner of springs. Sample bottled
after standing.
4. Blue Sulphur Spring. Analyst, S. C. Dinsmore (1909?). Authority, owner of springs.
5. White Sulphur Spring. Analyst, S. C. Dinsmore (1909?). Authority, owuer of springs.
A fifth spring, known as the Highshot Spring, issues on the side of a
ravine about 125 yards northwest of the Nipicuro Spring and about
the same distance from the creek. Like the others, it is strongly
sulphureted and of slight flow, but it has been comparatively little
used.
The rocks of the region consist of the series of altered sediments
and of serpentine that forms the greater part of the northern Coast
Ranges. Near the springs there is considerable impure limestone or
calcitic sandstone, which probably accounts for the large amount of
calcium in the spring water. Quartz porphyry was observed on the
mountain ridge a mile south of the spring, and float of the same
material was found along the creek.
