MINERAL SPRINGS OF THE UNITED STATES. 
[bull. ; 
MINNESOTA. 
The list of Minnesota springs has been compiled almost entirely from 
Prof. N. H. Winchell's reports on the geology and natural history of 
the State. No previous list credits the State with any mineral springs. 
In fact they are only beginning to attract attention. Although several 
have some local reputation, as yet only two are utilized to any consid- 
erable extent as resorts, and the water of only one is found on sale. Two 
salt wells have been developed in the extreme northwestern part of the 
State, and they have been included in the list. Big Stone Lake, which 
is an expansion of Minnesota River, has also been included, as the 
analysis shows that the water contains a large amount of sulphates 
and considerable silica. *
