268                 SPEINGS  OF  CALIFOENIA.
                      SULPHUR  SPUING  NEAR  BLUE  LAKES  (LAKE  17).
               A  small  flow  of  mildly  sulphureted  water  issues  in  a  ravine  one-
             third of a mile south of Blue Lakes resort, which is  19  miles by road
             north of east from Ukiah.  The water emerges at the base of a banl-
             of gray sandstone into a cemented drinking pool.  It was  at one time
             piped  down  the ravine  to  the  resort,  but in  1909  it was  apparently
             used  only  at  the spring.  A partial analysis  of  the  water,  published
             in advertising matter, shows it to be mildly mineralized, with sodium
             and  sulphate  predominating.
                          HAYVILLA  SULPHUR  SPRING  (LAKE  16).
               In an open drainage course 5 miles northwest of the town of Upper
             Lake there is a sulphur spring whose water has  been  used  to  somo
             extent for bathing and drinking.  It has become  known as Hayvilk.
             Sulphur Spring,  from the name  of the ranch on  which it is situated.
            When  the  place  was  visited  the  water rose  from  buff-colored  sand-
             stone near the drainage wash into a small  rock-walled drinking pool,
             and was piped to a bathtub a few yards away.  The water is notice-
             ably sulphureted and has a slightly alkaline or saline taste.
               In connection with the Hay villa Spring,  two  other sulphur springs
            in the same region, which have already been described,  may be men-
             tioned here.  One of these is about 3 miles westward, on the property
             of  the Witter Medical  Springs Co.  (p.  177);  the  other is  at Saratoga
            Springs  (Lake  18,  p.  179),  about 3 miles southward in a direct line.

                    SULPHUR  SPRINGS  IN  SULPHUR  VALLEY  (LAKE  43).
               Two  small  unimproved  springs  that  are  noticeably  sulphureted
            lie  in Sulphur Valley,  in southern Lake County,  2  or 3  miles north-
            east of Glenbrook post office.  One  of these springs is  on the Ogden
            ranch,  and rises  near  a small spring  of  distinctly carbonated  water;
            the other,  which is some  distance westward  and is known locally as
            the  Deadshot  Spring,  is  alkaline  and  saline,  as  well  as  sulphureted,
            and its water is said to have been used for curing deer hides by putting
            them to soak in the spring.

                               ZEM  ZEM  SPRING  (NAPA  1).
              A small spring  of strongly sulphureted  water is  situated near  the
            road  between  Knoxville  and  Monticello,  about  5  miles  southeast  of
            Knoxville.  The spring was  of more importance  during the  days  of
            active mining in the Knoxville district than it is now, but it is still a
            camping  place  for  teamsters.  The water is  too  highly mineralized,
            however,  to  be  palatable, an  early  analysis 1  indicating a content of
            21,000'parts per million  of  total solids.
