MINOR PERENNIAL SPRINGS. 339
SPRINGS NEAR SOUTHEAST SIDE OF OWENS LAKE (INYO 23).
A small amount of water of f air quality issues in a group of several
springs along the southeast side of Owens Lake. They are used by
prospectors, who often camp'near by, and they have long been a
watering place on the road between Keeler and Mohave. The water
is apparently of surface origin, coming from the slopes of the Coso
Range to the south and rising in the alluvium of the lake basin.
Similar springs issue a short distance toward the lake from the hotel
at Keeler and yield a small amount of fair water.
ARAB SPRING (INYO 24).
In the Coso Range several springs of small but perennial flow fur-
nish camping and watering places for prospectors and other travelers.
Arab Spring is one of these on the road between Keeler and Coso
mining camp. It is situated on the eastern side of the range about
18 miles southward from Keeler. It is also known as Lower Cen-
tennial Spring, Upper Centennial Spring being a similar spring in the
same ravine a mile south and 400 feet higher.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS (INYO 27).
Crystal Springs, which are about 8 miles southeast of Arab Spring,
also afford a watering place on the road to Coso, being 6 miles north
of this camp. The yield is small but of very good quality.
ROSE SPRING (INYO 25).
Rose Spring forms a watering place that is well known to pros-
pectors in the Coso Range. The water issues near the western base
of the range, about 4 miles south of Haiwee post office.
The three watering places last described Arab, Crystal, and Rose
springs are supplied by the precipitation on the adjacent mountains
and are essentially surface springs, though they are of nearly constant
yield.
SPRINGS NEAR HAIWEE (INYO 26).
Cold water issues from the coarse gravel slopes at the base of the
Sierra, at a ranch that is 28 miles southward from Keeler and that
was the Haiwee stage station in the fall of 1908. When the place was
visited a flow of about 20 gallons a minute was collected by ditches
along the side of a small cienaga or marshy area and was used for
domestic supply and garden irrigation.

GRAPEVINE SPRINGS (KERN 13).
Grapevine Springs are situated near the road between Keeler and
Mohave and about 50 miles south of Haiwee. They yield a small
flow of water of excellent quality. There is also running water during
