Northern California 19 



Lassen, in the Sierra Nevada Range, is Morgan's Springs, 

 another famous summer resort which is visited by hosts 

 of people who go to enjoy the heated term in "camping out," 

 and feasting on fish and game. There is an excellent op- 

 portunity for some enterprising man of capital, at either of 

 the above springs, to build up a fashionable summer resort, 

 and it is safe to say that the opportunity will not be open a 

 great while longer, for it is only necessary for a shrewd 

 business man to see either of these springs to realize the 

 splendid opportunity they offer for the investment of capital. 



Tuscan Springs are situated nine miles northeast of Red 

 Bluff, at the head of Little Salt Creek Canyon, in a basin 

 formed by an extinct crater. On either side, rising to a 

 height of from three to four hundred feet, are huge volcanic 

 rocks, forming a rim of about six hundred feet in diameter, 

 providing a natural shelter from winds. The springs num- 

 ber nearly fifty, and are found in an area of about ten acres, 

 at an elevation of 900 feet above sea level. The rim sur- 

 rounding this basin breaks away to the southwest, per- 

 mitting the waters to escape in that direction. The springs 

 and the mud that exudes from them are used medicinally, 

 and have a reputation for the cure of rheumatism, kidney 

 and liver disorders, and all blood and skin diseases. The 

 waters are exceptional in their character, containing 3 

 grains lithia, 6 grains iodine, 25 grains soda, magnesia, 

 borax, potassium, sodium and sulphur. The latter is found 

 in and around the springs in red and yellow sulphur. 



After a careful analysis of Tuscan waters by competent 

 chemists, and able physicians of San Francisco, they are 

 pronounced among the best in the United States for the 

 cure of every form of skin and blood derangements the 

 human system is heir to. This has been verified by the 

 thousands that have been made well by their use. 



A large and commodious hotel has been erected the past 

 season, with airily constructed towers at either end, and 

 wide verandas extending all around, with accommodations 

 for two hundred guests. The climate is very agreeable all 

 the year and infrequent are the days when the man of health 

 can not be out of doors. Likewise, few are the days when
