SULPHUR SPRINGS. 277
HUEE HUEEO SPEINGS (SAN LUIS OBISPO 4).
Two groups of mineralized springs, that are known as the Huer
Huero Springs, rise on the ranch of the same name, 13 to 15 miles
.southeast of Paso Robles. The northernmost, which is known as the
Old Spring, is on the eastern side of the road and about 1| miles south
of Creston post office. The water issues in the stream channel at the
head of a creek, and yields a small flow of cool sulphureted iron water.
The locality is well shaded by oaks and willows and has been used as a
summer camp ground for more than 20 years. It is the site of the
Keunard German settlement, which was started a number of years
ago. The New Springs, which are across a drainage divide and about
2 miles farther south, are locally known as iron springs, though their
water is strongly sulphureted. They rise for a distance of about 100
yards along a stream channel and yield about 2 gallons a minute.
Like the Old Spring, the New Springs are used by campers. At both
localities the water issues from the light-colored granitic material that
forms a considerable portion of the hills southeast of Paso Robles.

SULPHITE SEEING IN CAEEIZO PLAIN (SAN LUIS OBISPO 12).
A number of small springs in the region between Paso Robles and
the San Joaquin Valley are sulphureted, but few of them are of par-
ticular interest, and very few are of greater use than as cattle-watering
holes. One spring that is in the southern portion of Carrizo Plain
has been developed to the extent of piping its water about a mile
northward to a 10,000-gallon iron tank which supplies two cattle
troughs. It yields about 3 gallons a minute of strongly sulphureted
water.
The hydrogen sulphide of most of the springs in this region is
probably derived from sulphide minerals in the sediments of Ter-
tiary age, which form the greater part of the hills that border the
plains.1

SULPHUR SPEINGS ON BURTON MOUND (SANTA BAEBAEA 6).
A number of sulphur springs of small flow formerly issued near the
beach in Santa Barbara, from the slight elevation known as Burton
Mound, on which the Potter Hotel has been built. Since the construc-
tion of the hotel, about 1901, the water of the springs has been
pumped to a small drinking fountain in the hotel office and another
at the southeastern border of the grounds. The springs rise in a small
basin in the basement of the hotel. Although considerable difficulty

1 "Bitterwater Spring" is shown on some early maps, about 15 miles northwest of the sulphur spring in
Carrizo Plain. In 1910, however, it wasnot found, and information concerning it was unsuccessfully sought.
It is probably a minor sulphureted spring near the channel of Bitterwater Creek.
