for lower mineralization and greater proportionate content of silica 

 and magnesium. 



The contrast in mineral content between the hot water and the 

 two cold springs mentioned above seems to be general in the region, 

 and in a later paragraph the available temperature measurements 

 are discussed. In the table below the water of one of the hot 

 springs is compared with four other springs in Garland County. Big 

 Chalybeate, Mountain Valley, Blanco, and Dripping springs are
