IOWA. 
Mineral springs are not of common occurrence in Iowa, although many 
wells, both artesian and ordinary, are frequently mineralized. Neither 
Walton nor Moormau mentions any of the springs of the State. The 
present list is mainly the result of direct correspondence with the dif- 
ferent spring-owners and local authorities. The springs are of the same 
general character as in the adjoining States. The occurrence of acid 
springs is interesting from a geological point of view. Colfax Mineral 
Spring is probably the most widely known of the places of resort.
