Analysis by E. B. Knerr. 
Sycamore Springs, Brown County. 
In Brown county are situated several interesting groups of 
springs. At Springs post-office, five miles northwest of Morrill, 
six miles northeast of Sabetha, at the crossing of the St. J. & 
G. I. and the C. R. I. & P. railroads, and nine miles south of 
Salem, Neb., are located the Sycamore springs. They are in 
the valley of the Sycamore, a stream which runs north into the 
Nemaha river, and in the midst of some of the finest farm- 
ing land in the state. ‘The valley here is well wooded, many 
of the trees being large and evidently of great age. 
IMPROVEMENTS. 
The owner and proprietor is EK. V. Kauffman, who has ex- 
pended perhaps $2500 in rendering the springs more conven-. 
ient of access and in improving the property. There is a frame 
hotel 24x 60, three stories high, with accomodations for twenty- 
five guests. In this hotel is the post-office, dining-room, bath- 
rooms, with facilities for giving hot and cold baths, sweat 
baths, etc. There have also been erected two cottages, a re- 
freshment stand, and livery barn, and the grounds have been 
cleared of underbrush, so that there is a very convenient space 
for those who prefer living in tents. 
There are at least four important springs in this group: 
No. 1, near the hotel, discharges 1000 gallons per hour. No. 
2, which discharges into a large tank, is delivered at the hotel. 
The flow is about 500 gallons per hour. No. 3 is a spring
