EPSOM SPBING (LAKE 32).
A small flow of sulphated water, known as Epsom Spring, formerly
issued in a ravine about 2% miles south of west from Lakeport.
Within recent years range animals have trampled the place so that
there has been little or no flow, but during the summer a considerable
efflorescence of Epsom salt forms on the surface of the moist ground,
and a small flow of water could probably be again developed at the
place. The locality is near the western border of a belt of serpentine
that extends northward along the western side of Clear Lake. It
seems probable that this magnesian rock furnishes the basic portion
of the efflorescent salt, which may be formed by chemical reaction of
the minerals dissolved in water that passes through both the serpen-
tine and the adjacent altered sedimentary materials.
