This spring is most peculiarly situated. It is near the top of a 

 steep earthen bank beside the Rio Grande and perhaps 20 feet 

 above the bed of the river. There are two little basins for water, 

 one of which has been recently boxed in with boards. Although 

 it is hard to determine the source of the water, the spring runs 

 the year round and probably contains the best water for drinking 

 purposes in the vicinity of Buckman. The San Ildefonso Tewa 

 sa}^ that it is a very old and good spring, and frequently go to 

 it to drink when at or passing through Buckman.
