ARKANSAS. 
Among mineral spring States Arkansas occupies a prominent place. 
The reputation of her famous Hot Springs, which have been more or 
less improved and utilized for medicinal purposes since the early part of] 
the century, has attracted attention to the subject throughout the State 
and has led the people to appreciate the value of their springs. 
Although a large proportion of the springs have been improved, 
very few appear to have been subjected to quantitative chemical analy- 
sis. Only five are given in the table. The list of springs is bast 
mainly upon data obtained from Owens's geological reports of Arkansas 
supplemented, as in the case of most of the other lists, by inform atioi 
derived directly from persons interested in the various springs. Of the 
springs whose general character is known, probably half are chalybeat 
and nearly that number are also sulphureted. 
Only about five are utilized commercially at present.
