BAILEY. | Mineral Waters. Dol 
Kiekapoo Springs, Leavenworth County. 
These springs are situated about seven miles northwest of 
the city of Leavenworth, on the farm of George W. Few. They 
are located in a valley where the land overlooks the Missouri 
river bluffs, and on the south is a range of hills. There are 
three springs in the group, all of which are more or less cha- 
lybeate. No.1, the analysis of which is given below, has been 
carefully boxed, and is five and one-half feet in depth. The 
waters from all these springs are clear and sparkling when first 
drawn, but deposit the iron hydrate in the stream below for 
a long distance. This is of course due to the escape of carbon- 
dioxid gas, as has been previously noticed. 
Stone implements, such as arrow-heads and spear-heads that 
areoften found near the springs, indicate that this locality was a 
favorite camping-ground for the Indians, and, as the Kickapoos 
were the last tribe having a reservation in this vicinity, the 
springs have been named after them. No improvements have 
been made in the property and the water is not shipped. 
The composition of spring No. 1 is as follows:
