352 SPRINGS OF CALIFORNIA.
A similar spring of smaller flow issues a few yards below the road
grade, half a mile northwest of Corona Spring, and forms a roadside
drinking spring. Two others of larger flow, that have not been used,
issue in a ravine about 3 miles southeastward.

DA VIS SPRING (SAN DIEGO 3).
There is a spring of excellent water 2 miles northward from Nellie
post office in the Palomares Mountains, 30 miles by road northeast of
Escondido. -The water issues at the base of a large alder tree 20
yards from a creek bed and is much used and appreciated by campers
during the summer time. A small amount of iron is deposited at
this spring, and larger amounts are in evidence at a lesser spring at
the creek edge. Numerous other springs of cold water issue in marshy
areas in this part of the mountains.
CONSOLE SPRING (RIVERSIDE 1).
On the granitic slopes a few miles east of Riverside there are a few
small springs that have been utilized. One of these, which is known
as Console Spring, issues in Reche Canyon, about 9 miles in a direct
line east of Riverside, and yields perhaps 7 gallons a minute. The
water was placed on the local market in 1906 as a table water. A
partial analysis, published in advertising matter, indicates that the
water contains about 250 parts per million of solids in solution,
sodium, carbonate, and sulphate being the principal constituents.

BOX SPRING (RIVERSIDE 2).
Box Spring is beside the railroad in a small ravine 5 miles in a direct
line southeast of Riverside and near the head of the grade to Alessan-
dro and Perris valleys. A section house stands near the spring,
which has been curbed and forms a domestic supply for the section
hands. The spring yields a small flow of water of good quality. A
similar but unused spring is situated in Mockingbird Canyon, 9 miles
south of Riverside.

ROSE SPRING (LOS ANGELES 12).
A number of local natural waters are marketed in the larger cities
of the State for table use, as they are preferable to the municipal
supplies. Several waters are distributed in Los Angeles, but most of
them come from wells. A few of them are derived from springs,
however, of which Rose Spring is one of the chief. In the early
days of the city it formed a roadside watering place on the eastern
outskirts, but it is now well within the city limits. The water issues
from crevices in a sandstone bank beside one of the principal avenues.
It is piped a few yards to faucets in a bottling house, where 1-gallon
