Properties.—This is a valuable muriated-alkaline thermalwater, according to the analysis, of which there are few in thiscountry. JRemarks.—These springs are described by G. J. S. Newber-ry, M. D., geologist of the U. S. Exploring Expedition, as fol-lows : At different points along the valley of the Wam-ChuckRiver, hot springs issue from the base of the cliffs whichbound it. The number of these springs is large, and two orthree of them quite copious. They issue from fissures in therock, the water flowing from them collecting in basins ofseveral feet in diameter, thence flowing into the Wam-Chuck. THERMAL WATERS. 317 River, and giving it its name. The temperature of two ofthese springs was respectively 143° and 145° Fahr. Thewater holds large quantities of silica in solution, but has abland and pleasant taste.—(Government Explorations forPacific J&ailroad, vol. vi., p. 49.) HOT SPRINGS.
