  There 
  are 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  other 
  springs 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Batavia, 
  

   although 
  none 
  of 
  them 
  has 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  flow. 
  The 
  following 
  is 
  a 
  

   list 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  springs, 
  with 
  an 
  estimate 
  as 
  to 
  their 
  probable 
  

   minimum 
  yield 
  :

  springs 
  500,000 
  

  

  Total 
  3,300,000 
  

  

  Probably 
  all 
  of 
  these 
  springs 
  may 
  be 
  taken 
  for 
  a 
  safe 
  minimum 
  

   yield 
  at 
  3,000,000 
  gallons 
  in 
  twenty-four 
  hours, 
  although 
  this 
  is 
  

   an 
  estimate 
  merely, 
  based 
  on 
  experience, 
  no 
  weir 
  measurements 
  

   having 
  been 
  made. 
  

  

  At 
  Williamsville, 
  near 
  Buffalo, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  spring 
  flowing 
  at 
  the 
  

   rate 
  of 
  2,000,000 
  or 
  3,000,000 
  gallons 
  per 
  day, 
  which 
  probably 
  

   issues 
  from 
  the 
  horizon 
  of 
  the 
  gypsum. 
  At 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  other 
  

   places 
  in 
  western 
  New 
  York 
  springs 
  appear, 
  specially 
  along 
  the 
  

   ridge 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  gypsum 
  belt, 
  but 
  the 
  waters 
  

   issuing 
  are 
  so 
  hard 
  as 
  to 
  render 
  it 
  undesirable 
  to 
  use 
  them. 
  A 
  

   marked 
  case 
  of 
  this 
  character 
  is 
  near 
  Akron, 
  where 
  an 
  excavation 
  

   developed 
  a 
  flow 
  of 
  3,000,000 
  or 
  4,000,000 
  gallons 
  per 
  day, 
  but 
  

   of 
  which 
  the 
  permanent 
  hardness 
  was 
  equal 
  to 
  one 
  part 
  in 
  a 
  

   thousand.

  determined.
