GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TEKRITOEIES. 



It will be necessary here to give only this year's observations, and 

 for details the reader is referred to the reports of 1869 and 1872. 



The water from one of the springs has been devoted to bathing pur- 

 poses, and is conducted in iron pipes from the spring to bath-houses 

 near by. The following temperatures were taken by Mr. Taggart : 



Temperatures Jime- 12, 1873.

The Shoshone, the Navajo, the Manitou, and the Comancne are on 

 the " Fontaine qui bouil6" all being on the right bank except the Mani- 

 tou. The Shoshone gives off a great deal of gas, the Navajo a medium 

 quantity, while the Manitou gives out very little. The latter has the 

 best tasting water. The Iron Ute and the Little Chief are on Eux-

They are distinguished by having a larger percentage of iron than any

 in the second table is on the bank of the Fontaine, near the Ute Pass 

 road, a short distance below the falls. Its water is very agreeable to 

 the taste, but as the spring is some distance from the others, it is not so 

 generally used. Leaving the eastern side of the mountains, we fol- 

 lowed the "Fontaine" to its head, through the beautiful and picturesque
