MINERAL SPRINGS OF THE UNITED STATES. 
[BULL. 32. 
COLORADO. 
Both hot and cold mineral springs abound in Colorado and contrib- 
ute to the reputation of the State as a health resort. Considering the 
newness of the State, a fair proportion of its springs have been im- 
proved, and several of them have become known all over the country. 
Among these are Manitou Springs, at the base of Pike's Peak. The 
authorities for the list given here are the reports and maps of the 
Haydeu Survey and of the Wheeler Survey and Dr. Charles Dennison's 
Kocky Mountain Health Resorts, supplemented by personal knowledge 
of a large number of the localities.
