ANALYSIS OF SPRINGS IN A NUTSHELL.
“I make the following tabular analysis for the benefit of the
thousands who desire it in a compact form. To make this table
I have searched in old books, pamphlets and newspapers, and
expended much labor. The figures in the table denote the
number of grains of each chemical and the base line the solid
contents in grains. The reader will now see the relative strength
of the different springs. The Geyser is the strongest water, the
solid contents being 991.546 grains. The Hathorn stands 888.406
and the Pavilion 687.275.
