KENTUCKY. 
The State of Kentucky occupies a prominent place as a mineral spring 
region, not only from the number of springs, but also on account of 
the quality of the waters. Some of them are among the most remark- 
able in the country and many are on sale in the East, West, North, and 
South. Such are the celebrated Blue Lick water and that of the Crab 
Orchard springs. There are said to be two great water beds in Ken- 
tucky, viz: the calciferous sandstone, underlying the Silurian rocks, 
and the great sandstone formation at the base of the Coal Measures, 
and any localities in counties within the range of those formations 
(Silurian and Carboniferous), if not already possessed of mineral springs, 
can have artesian mineral wells by boring from 150 to 300 feet. Still 
the mineral waters do not appear to be confined to these beds, although 
possibly more abundant in them. Our list mentions springs as occur- 
ring in nearly two-thirds of the counties, and the remaining counties 
are not confined to any one portion of the State; so that it is possible 
that, if the information relating to them were more complete, they also 
might be included among those having mineral springs. 
The great majority of the springs are still unimproved, although many 
are used as local resorts, especially during the summer season. The 
reports of the Kentucky geological survey are quite complete in the
