  MINERAL 
  SPRINGS 
  

   The 
  mineral 
  springs 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  afford 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  waters 
  

   suited 
  for 
  medicinal 
  and 
  table 
  uses. 
  There 
  are 
  over 
  200 
  springs 
  

   in 
  the 
  State 
  that 
  have 
  been 
  listed 
  and 
  classified 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  

   nature 
  of 
  their 
  dissolved 
  mineral 
  ingredients, 
  though 
  many 
  have 
  

   no 
  commercial 
  application, 
  except 
  perhaps 
  for 
  local 
  consumption. 
  

   Some 
  of 
  the 
  spring 
  localities 
  — 
  like 
  Saratoga 
  Springs, 
  Ballston 
  

   Springs 
  and 
  Richfield 
  Springs 
  — 
  are 
  popular 
  resorts 
  during 
  the 
  

   summer 
  season 
  and 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  the 
  waters 
  afford 
  an 
  indirect 
  but 
  

   very 
  important 
  source 
  of 
  income.
