MINOR PERENNIAL SPRINGS. 365
Bonanza Springs form a good watering place on the south side of
Clipper Mountain, which is southeast of Granite Mountain but north-
west of the Salt Lake railroad. Still farther southeast Old Woman
Springs yield a considerable flow in a canyon at the northeast end of
a mountain of the same name. Other Old Woman Springs (San
Bernardino 27, p. 316), which are about 90 miles farther west, have
been described among the artesian springs. Sunflower Springs, 8
or 10 miles north of the springs on Old Woman Mountain, form a
watering place for range cattle. On the western side of the mountain,
about 8 miles southeast of Old Woman Springs, there is a spring of
good water near the ruins of a mining camp, and at the southern end
of the mountain there are other small springs that are used by
prospectors.
Considerable water issues along the course of Mohave River near
Victorville, apparently as springs of surface or possibly alluvial arte-
sian origin. Little direct use is made of them, as more convenient
water supplies are obtained from the river and from wells.
Kanes Spring is 9 miles southeast of Newberry Springs (San Ber-
nardino 20, p. 317), at the eastern base of Kane Mountain, on a road
to Victorville. Its water is of good quality, and it forms a convenient
stopping place for travelers. Koehn or Kane Springs form another
watering place of similar name (Kern 20, p. 340).
About 8 miles southeast of Kanes Spring, at the eastern side of
Bessemer Mountain, there is another small spring. Its water is
slightly brackish, but it has been used by miners who have prospected
the iron deposits in the adjacent mountain.
A number of small springs issue in the northern portion of the
San Bernardino Mountains. Rock Springs are in a canyon near the
northern base of these mountains, about 6 miles east of Mohave River.
They form, a small watering place on a road between Cactus Flat
(San Bernardino 30, p. 347) and Victorville. Rock Corral Spring is
at the northeastern edge of San Bernardino Mountains and about
10 miles southeast of Old Woman Springs (San Bernardino 27, p.
316). The place is marked by a rock corral and the water is plentiful
and of good quality. Twohole Spring issues from a 10-foot tunnel
in a granite bank, about a mile east of the road and 6 miles north-
west of Rock Corral Spring. It yields about 1 gallon a minute
and has been used as a watering place for cattle. Terrace Springs,
5 miles farther west, also furnish a small supply that has been
used for cattle watering. Viscera Spring is in a ravine that is
tributary to Rattlesnake Canyon; it is about 7 miles southward by
road from Twohole Spring but three-quarters of a mile from, the
main road. It is shaded by a scrubby willow tree and yields a very
small flow of water that deposits considerable iron. About 1J miles
southeast of it another small spring rises beside the road and near
