NEW MEXICO. 
In many portions of New Mexico, alkaline and saline waters (many 
of them warm or hot) are doubtless more prevalent than are pure waters. 
The mineral springs that are utilized for medicinal purposes are nu- 
merous, and some of them were used years ago by the Franciscan and 
Dominican friars, and by the Indians prior to the advent of Europeans 
Many of the hot springs have widespread reputations throughout the 
Southwest. Among those most used at the present time are Las Vegas, 
Jemes, Joseph's Ojo Caliente, and Hudson's Hot Spriugs. The present 
list for the Territory is compiled mainly from information furnished by 
members of the United States Geological Survey whose field of work has 
been in New Mexico. Various Government exploration and geological 
reports and hand-books have also been drawn upon. The analyses, 
with one exception, have been taken from the Report of the United 
States Geographical Survey West of the 100th Meridian (Vol. Ill, 
Geology).
