WESTERN STATES AND TERRITORIES. 
The first thing to attract attention, in a general survey of the mineral 
springs of the West, is the far greater prevalence of thermal springs 
in them when compared with other sections. The Western States, as 
already defined, contain only a little over 39 per cent, of the total area 
of the country, and yet within their limits are found more than 80 per 
cent, of its known thermal springs. This proportion is likely to be 
increased, as the Western States present the best field for future dis- 
coveries. When we consider the individual springs, even manifestly 
imperfect as are our lists in respect to the total number, the contrast 
appears even greater. Not only is the number of hot and warm springs 
greatly in excess of that in other portions of the country, but the ther- 
mal phenomena are overwhelmingly greater in intensity. In no other 
section are there any manifestations equal to those exhibited by the 
geysers of the Yellowstone National Park.
