and Marcellus shales. Sharon Springs is situated to the east of 

 Richfield Springs and near the contact of the Ordovician and 

 Silurian strata. Clifton Springs, Ontario county, and Massena 

 Springs, St Lawrence county, are among the localities where 

 sulphureted waters occur and are utilized. 



The Oak Orchard Springs in the town of Byron, Genesee county, 

 are noteworthy for their acid waters which contain a considerable 

 proportion of alumina, iron, calcittm and magnesium besides free 

 sulphuric acid. Waters highly charged with calcium chloride are 

 sometimes encountered in deep wells drilled within the area of the 

 rock salt deposits which underlie much of the area to the west and 

 south of Oneida lake. These waters are employed at one or two 

 places for medicinal baths. 



The Lebanon spring at Lebanon, Coliunbia county, is the single 

 representative in the State of the class of thermal springs. It has a 

 temperature of 75° F. independent of seasonal variations and is 

 highly charged with carbon dioxide and nitrogen. 



Ordinary spring waters. The greater quantity of spring waters 

 consumed in the State belongs to the nonmedicinal, noncarbonated 

 class represented by such springs as the Great Bear, Deep Rock, 

 Mountain View, Sun Ray, Chemung etc. The waters are obtained 

 either from flowing springs or artesian wells and are shipped in 

 carboys or in tank cars to the principal towns and cities where they 

 are bottled and distributed among the individual consumers. The 

 essential feature of such waters is their freedom from noxious 

 impurities. This is generally safeguarded by the care in the handling 

 of the waters, which may be also regularly examined as to purity 

 by chemical laboratories. 



List of springs. The following list includes the names of localities 

 of most of the springs in the State that are employed commercially
