TEXAS. 
Walton's Mineral Springs of the United States gives three localities 
for Texas and Pepper's list includes five. There are, however, about 
twenty localities that are places of resort and at least seven the waters 
of which are on sale. Besides there are a great many springs at present 
unimproved, but which have local reputations for the curative effects 
of their waters. Mineral springs exist in at least thirty counties of the 
State. 
The list as given here is made up partly from various maps and hand- 
books of Texas, supplemented by data derived from correspondence 
with persons in the localities thus obtained. The majority of the springs 
are still unanalyzed, but sulphureted waters appear to be most numer- 
ous. The occurrence of free sulphuric acid in so many springs is nota- 
ble. Lampasas Springs, Burdett's Sour Mineral Wells, the Sour Lake 
Springs, and Hyn son's Iron Springs appear to be those most widely 
known.
