MINOR PERENNIAL SPRINGS. 341
WATER STATION SPRINGS (KERN 21).
Water Station, about 9 miles east of north from Mohave, has been
a water-supply point for many years on the Mohave-Keeler road.
Shallow wells supply a portion of the water at this place, but water
also rises to the surface in small springs near by.

COTTONWOOD SPRING (INYO 16).
A number of springs that are well known to travelers are situated
in the Panamint Range, which lies between Owens Valley and Death
Valley. One of the largest of these springs issues in. the upper portion
of Cottonwood Canyon, on the eastern side of the range, and forms a
stream that usually flows for a couple of miles before sinking in the
gravel of the wash. A main trail between Keeler and the north end
of Death Valley follows down the canyon.

EMIGRANT SPRING (INYO 17).
Emigrant Spring is in Emigrant Canyon, which lies about 10 miles
southeast of Cottonwood Canyon. The spring has been known since
1852, when it was used by emigrants from, Salt Lake City. Emigrant
Canyon is still the main pass across the Panamint Range, so the
spring is a much-used watering place. The water issues in a wash
at the base of a limestone cliff 25 yards west of the road. The sup-
ply is said to be about 1 gallon a minute, and the water is of good
quality.
WILD ROSE SPRING (INYO 22).
Wild Rose Spring is in a canyon on the western side of the Pana-
mint Range, about 14 miles south of Emigrant Spring and 20 miles
north of Ballarat mining camp. It forms a much-used camping place
on the road to Death Valley by way of Emigrant Springs. The water
is very good and the supply is plentiful.
Like most of the springs in the desert ranges, Cottonwood, Emi-
grant, and Wild Rose springs are supplied only by the precipitation
on the adjacent higher slopes, but their subsurface storage reservoirs
are sufficiently large to make them of perennial flow, and hence
they are dependable watering places.

LONE WILLOW SPRING (SAN BERNARDINO 1).
There is a spring in a small canyon near the pass between the Slate
Range and Brown Mountain at the south end of Panamint Valley
that is well known to travelers in the region, for not only is its water
very good, but it is the only water to be had for a number of miles.
The spring received its name, Lone Willow, from a tree that once
grew near it. The water was formerly piped to troughs at the road-
side, where it furnished one of the watering places on the route of the
