340                 SPRINGS  OF  CALIFORNIA.
          most  of  the  year  in  Grapevine  Canyon,  a  mile  or  two  above  the
          springs.
                         INDIAN  WELLS  SPRINGS  (KEEN  14).
            Springs that are similar in origin and character to those at Haiwee
          stage  station  issue  from  the  gravel  slopes  bordering  the  Sierra  at
          Indian Wells,  a ranch that is about 53 miles southward  from Haiwee
          on  the  road  from  Keeler  to  Mohave.  The  springs  at  Indian  Wells
          yield perhaps  10  or 15  gallons a minute of water of good quality that
          is used for domestic supply and for irrigation.

                            FREEMAN  SPRINGS  (KERN  15).
            Freeman post office is  at a small ranch on the Mohave-Keeler road,
          about  6  miles  southwest  of  Indian  Wells.  The  place  was  formerly
          known as Coyote Holes,  as  water is  obtained from shallow pits exca-
          vated where coyotes had dug a short distance to water.  A continual
          flow  of  perhaps  3  or  4  gallons  a  minute  has  been  developed  on  the
          gentle slopes of a wide drainage wash.

                             SEABLES  SPRING  (KEEN  16).
            Searles Spring is  about  5  miles  west  of  the post office  of  the same
          name,  which  is  15  miles  by  stage  north  of  Randsburg.  Water  is
          piped from the spring to Searles station and furnishes a supply that is
          small but  of  good  quality.

                 SPRINGS  AT  SUMMIT  DIGGINGS  (SAN  BERNARDINO  8).
            Summit Diggings form a small gold placer camp near the main road,
          6  miles  north of Randsburg.  The  camp obtains  an ample supply of
          water from several springs in the neighboring hills.
                            RICAEDO  SPRINGS  (KEEN  19).
            Eicardo  Springs  issue  in  the  stream  wash  of  a  tributary  to  Red-
          rock Canyon,  about 27  miles  north of  Mohave.  They yield  a  small
          but  perennial  flow  and  have  served  as  a  watering  place,  the  water
          being  piped  to  a  trough  near  the  main  road  between  Mohave  and
          Keeler.  During  recent  years  the  pipe  line  has  not  been  kept  in
          repair, but water has been obtainable  at the springs.
                             KOEHN  SPRINGS  (KEEN  20).
            Koehn  Springs,  or  Kane  Springs,  as  the name is spelled  on some
          maps,  are on the western side of a dry lake of the same name  about
          24 miles northeast of Mohave.  The springs yield only a small amount
          of brackish water, but they have been of some importance as a road-
          side watering place.
