364 SPRINGS OF CALIFORNIA.
east of Coyote Holes, and Pachanca or Pachalka Springs are 5 or 6
miles eastward, at the base of Clark Mountain.
In the mountains near the eastern border of the State, in the min-
ing regions of Ivanpah, Leastalk, and Vontrigger, numerous small
perennial springs are of great importance to the mining industry.
Several of these springs have already been specifically described;
others, which are of nearly equal importance, are Willow and Malpais
springs, in the eastern portion of the New York Mountains, and
Hackberry Spring farther southward, in the mountain of the same
name. All these springs have been piped some distance to mines or
to water troughs. i
Harpers mining camps are two camps in the southern end of the
Avawatz Mountains, about 12 and 15 miles, respectively, northwest of
Silver Lake railroad station. Water has been obtained at the southern
camp by tunneling into granite. At the northern camp an ample
supply issues from beneath limestone.
Goleta Spring is at the southeast base of Fremont Peak and about
25 miles southeast of Randsburg, on an old road to Barstow. The
spring was visited by Fre'mont on his last homeward journey across
Mohave Desert, but there has been little travel past it during recent
years and it has become of little importance.
Indian Spring is in the mountains about 25 miles in a direct line
north of Daggett. It supplies a few gold miners who work dry placers
in the locality, but it is unimportant to the desert traveler.
Canyon Spring is 6 miles east of Paradise Springs (San Bernardino
9, p. 52), and is beside a road that leads northward past Garlic Spring
(San Bernardino 10, p. 303). This route of travel has been seldom
used during recent years, so the spring has become of little importance.
Barrel Spring was formerly a well-known watering place near the
western border of Soda Lake and 2 or 3 miles north of the crossing of
the Salt Lake and the Tonopah & Tidewater railroads. Since the
construction of these lines of travel the spring has been little used.
Marl Springs are 9 miles southwest of Cima railroad station and
about 12 miles south of Kessler Springs (San Bernardino 15, p. 344),
on a slightly used road that connects the two watering places. Like
Kessler Springs the place has been used as a camp by prospectors.
There are at least three springs that are used by prospectors near
Granite Mountain, which is about 25 miles north of east from Lud-
low: Cottonwood Springs, near the northern end of the mountain, in
the pass between it and the Providence Mountains, and on a road
that leads to Kelso railroad station, 15 miles north; Cove Springs,
near the road and 6 miles farther south, at the southeast edge of the
mountain; and Willow Springs, at the southwest end of the mountain
and 5 miles by trail west of Cove Springs. All three groups of springs
yield small amounts of water of good quality.
