six-inch pipe constantly runs away from the spring. The flow 
is estimated at 5000 gallons per hour. In fact, this seems to 
be one of the largest: springs in the state. The water boils up 
through the sand and broken shales at the bottom and is per- 
fectly clear, and sometimes gives off a little hydrogen-sulfid 
gas. PhS a 
Spring No. 2 is a short distance southwest of this. Itis built 
up in the same way above the ground, and yields 600 gallons 
per hour. The flow of gasis more abundant from this spring 
than from No. 1. 
Spring No. 3 is ashort distance east of No. 2. It also has 
an abundant flow of water. The temperature is 14°C. (57.2° F.) 
Spring No. 4 is east of the hotel. The water of this spring 
is used at the bath-house, which is near by. 
There are other springs in the vicinity which have been 
only partially developed. The value of the improvements thus 
far made is from $2000 to $3000. The present proprietor is F. 
A. Gue, Hiawatha, R. F. D. No.3. The analysis of the water 
of spring No. 1, which was made in 1898, is as follows:
