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.
