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-
