342 SPRINGS OF CALIFORNIA.

" 20-mule teams " that hauled borax from. Death Valley to the railroad
at Mohave.
TITLE SPRINGS (INYO 28).
Water of poor quality issues at a few places in Death Valley and is
obtained from shallow wells at a number of other places in the valley
floor. One of the groups where water naturally rises is at Tule
Springs, beside a wagon road on the western side of the lowest por-
tion of the valley. There are several springs, which are marked by
clumps of tules, but the water is brackish and of small quantity.

BENNETTS WELLS (INYO 33).
Five miles south of Tule Springs there are other springs of better
quality, which have been protected by barrels and are known as
Bennetts Wells. These springs or wells are marked by clumps of
tules and by abandoned works of the Eagle Borax Co. They were
formerly much used as a watering place, but they have not been of so
great importance during recent years and they are occasionally
choked by drifting sand. The water of Tule Springs and of Bennetts
Wells is evidently of alluvial origin and is probably derived from the
precipitation on the eastern side of the Panamint Kange. It possibly
rises under slight artesian head, but the supply is so small that the
water becomes saline and alkaline from the salts near the surface.
SAND SPUING (INYO 10).
Sand Spring is in Termination Valley, at the extreme north end of
the Grapevine Mountains, beside a road that extends northward along
the base of these mountains and eastward into Nevada. The spring
yields a small amount of good water and has long been used as a
camping place.

STAININGER RANCH SPRINGS (INYO 11).
In the Amargosa Range of mountains, on the east side of Death
Valley, there are several springs that form watering places which are
well known to desert travelers. One of the northern of these watering
places is at the Staininger ranch, in a canyon on the western slope of
the north end of Grapevine Mountains. This ranch is on the road
that leads southwestward into Death Valley from Bonnie Claire
railroad station in Nevada. The ranch is supplied with water by
several springs of ample yield.

DAYLIGHT SPRING (INYO 13).
A main road from Bullfrog, Nev., southwestward into Death
Valley, crosses the Amargosa Range through Boundary Canyon,
which is between the Grapevine and the Funeral mountains and 30
miles in a direct line southeast of the Staininger ranch. Daylight
