MINERAL SPRINGS OF THE UNITED STATES. 
[BULL. 32. 
MISSOURI. 
This State is rich in mineral springs, which are of great variety. 
Only about one-fifth of them are improved, but among the latter are 
several that are well known throughout the State. 
As far as known the springs are very similar to those of the neigh- 
boring States, saline, sulphureted, and chalybeate springs predomi- 
nating. 
Many of the counties have salt springs or wells, and at one time the 
production of salt from them was a considerable industry. The list of 
springs given here has been compiled mainly from the State geological 
reports and from various hand-books. The present status of the various 
springs has been determined, whenever practicable, by direct correspond- 
ence with the spring-owners.
