MINOR  PERENNIAL  SPRINGS.               363
    a trail that leads northeastward from Keeler.  They are respectively
     on the western and the eastern sides of the Panamint Range, directly
    east  of  Independence.  Each  furnishes  about  3  barrels  a  day  (half
     a pint a minute)  of  good water.  Goldbelt  Spring is  about  15  miles
     south of Rest Spring and is near the junction of trails  that lead from
     it northward along the range and eastward to Death Valley.  It yields
    perhaps 20 barrels a day (half a gallon a minute).
       Several springs of minor importance issue along the eastern side of
     Death Valley and in the mountain slopes  that border it.  Grapevine
     Springs are about 3 miles by trail west of the Staininger or Grapevine
     ranch  (Inyo  11,  p.  342).  They yield a supply of  good water but are
     away  from  the  main-traveled  routes.  Mesquite  Spring  is  6  miles
     farther south, in the east bank of the wash of Death Valley,  and near
     the road.  Triangle Spring is also near the road that leads southeast-
    ward  through Death Valley.  It issues  in  a clay bank near a clump
     of  mesquite,  about  25  miles  southeast  of  Mesquite  Springs.  Tule
     Spring and Willow  Spring are in  the southern portion of  the Grape-
     vine  Mountains,  3  or 4  miles  westward  from  Daylight  Spring  (Inyo
     13, p. 342), and about 3 miles apart, near a trail between-Death Valley
     and Bullfrog,  Nev.  Fountain Springs  are at the base of  a butte on
     the  eastern border  of  Death Valley  and  about  6  miles  north of  the
     Furnace Creek ranch  (Inyo  20,  p.  320).  They yield  a small water
     supply for prospectors in  the near-by mountains.
       There is another Tule Spring beside  the  road  about 6 miles east of
     Tecopa railroad station and 2  or 3  miles southeast of Resting Springs
     (Inyo 34,  p.  319), near the southern border of the county.  It yields
     a small supply of water of fair quality and  has been boarded over to
     protect it from cattle.
       There are a few perennial springs of little importance in the moun-
     tains of the Randsburg mining district.  Willow Springs, on the road
     10 miles north of Randsburg, are of seepage flow and have been little
     used since an ample water supply was obtained in a well a mile to the
     northwest.  Bedrock  Spring,  which  is  on  the  north side  of  Klinker
     Mountain,  10  miles  northeast  of  Randsburg,  yields  a  small  water
     supply,  but  it is  on  a  road  that has  not  been  much  used.  Squaw
     Spring  is  5  miles  east  of  Randsburg.  It has  no  appreciable  flow
     and is used mainly by prospectors.
       A few springs in the northeastern corner of San Bernardino County
     are of local value to prospectors in the region.  Horse Spring, on the
     eastern  side  of  Kingston  Range,  yields  good  water  from  shale  or
    slate.  Coyote  Holes  are  about  12  miles  to  the south  or  southwest,
     near  the  divide  between  Kingston  Range  and  Shadow  Mountains.
    Their water is brackish, and better water can be obtained at Kingston
     Springs, which are about 2  miles farther south.  Cunningham Spring
    is  at the northeast base of  Shadow Mountains  and is  6  miles  south-
