344 SPRINGS OP CALIFORNIA.

There is one main spring that supplies a small pool 100 yards from the
camp ground, and other seepages issue for perhaps 200 yards up the
canyon. The water is obtained in the gravel of the canyon bed and
is of good quality.

CAVE SPRINGS (SAN BERNARDINO 6).
Cave Springs are near the summit of Avawatz Mountains, on a road
that leads from South Death Valley to Daggett. The water issues in
grottos or caves in two pools about 5 feet across that form collecting
basins from which it may be dipped. It is of good quality and the
place is one of the principal stopping points on the road. The nearest
other water to the north is at Saratoga Springs (San Bernardino 3),
which have been described among the hot springs (p. 137).

TOMASO SPRINGS (SAN BERNARDINO 12).
Tomaso Springs are at the northwest end of Soda Lake Mountains,
about 12 miles southwest of the town of Silver Lake, which is on
the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad. The springs are mentioned
by Fremont, who camped at them in April, 1844, and later they
became a watering place on the emigrant road from Salt Lake City.
They are still used by campers, but they have become of less im-
portance since the construction of the railroad and the establishment
of a pumping plant at Silver Lake.
DANTE SPRINGS (SAN BERNARDINO 13).
Dante Springs are near the north base of a butte at the northeast
end of Soda Lake, and are about 3 miles east of Berry station, on the
Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad. They furnish a watering place
on the main route from Soda Lake Mountains, which are west of
Berry, to Ivanpah Mountain, 35 miles to the northeast.

HALLORAN SPRINGS (SAN BERNARDINO 14).
Halloran Springs are near the base of a small butte about 12 miles
east of Dante Springs. They have long been a camping place on the
main route through this region and furnish a small but ample supply
for desert travelers.

KESSLER SPRINGS (SAN BERNARDINO 15).
Kessler Springs are situated at the southern end of Ivanpah
Mountain, near the eastern border of the State, about 6 miles north-
west of Cima station, on the Salt Lake Railroad, and at the junction
of roads to the mining camps of Rosalie and Ivanpah, which are,
respectively, 12 miles northwest and 10 miles northeast of the
springs. The water is of very good quality, and the supply is plenti-
ful.
