Geyser Mineral Well, Rosedale. 
A well about 300 feet deep was bored here several years ago 
for the purpose of getting gas. Well is situated on the south 
side of the rather narrow valley of Turkey creek, just north of 
the stream, at a point where it runs close to the high bluffs on 
the south. The water is pumped from the well and stored in 
large wooden tanks in the second story of the building. 
IMPROVEMENTS. 
A few years ago a bathing establishment was erected here, 
and it receives good patronage. The bath-house is divided into 
two sections, so aS to accomodate both men and women. ‘There 
are about a dozen bath-rooms, with cots for resting or sleeping 
in adjacent rooms. 
There is a sufficient quantity of gas arising from the well, so 
that itis stored in tanks and used for running a gas-engine for 
pumping the water. ‘The gas is also burned under the boiler 
for generating steam for heating purposes. There is sufficient 
gas in the water so that it effervesces like soda-water, and if 
the stopper be taken out of a bottle that has been nearly filled 
with water, the gas may be lighted at the mouth. The gas has 
practically no odor, and the water gives no reaction for hydro- 
gen sulfid. This mineral spring company also manufactures 
‘‘nop’’ and effervescent drinks from ordinary water.
