MINOR PERENNIAL SPRINGS. 367

Springs are 4 or 5 miles southwest of the Mason ranch (San Diego 10,
p. 349), and about the same distance from the main wagon road, but
they yield a fair supply of cool water and make a good camping place.
On the western slopes of the southern Coast Ranges a few perennial
springs form roadside drinking pools, or pools that are known to
hunters. Dog Spring is in a direct line about 12 miles northeast of
San Diego, and Tule Spring is 13 miles eastward from the railroad
terminus at Foster. Cold Spring, on the stage road between Descanso
and Cuyamaca, yields perhaps 5 gallons a minute of water 55° in
temperature and forms a drinking pool at the roadside. Durasnitos
Spring furnishes a small supply about 4 miles southwest of Ramona
or 3 miles northeast of Bradley Spring (San Diego 7, p. 350). Drip-
ping Spring and Sawyer Spring are in canyons tributary to Temecula
Creek and are respectively about 9 miles and 13 miles in direct
lines east of Temecula, in southwestern Riverside County. They
yield small flows of little importance.
In a canyon 3 miles north of Arrowhead Hot Springs (San Bernar-
dino 36, p. 32), there is a cold spring of considerable size, and near
the hotel is a cold spring (Fuente Frio), whose analysis is given with
those of the hot waters. Another small cold spring issues several
miles to the northwest, 3 miles south of the warm spring in Lytle
Canyon (San Bernardino 34, p. 35).
Crystal Spring, on Mount Lowe in the San Gabriel Mountains, 20
miles northeast,of Los Angeles, yields cold pure water that was at
one time bottled for taBle use.
In the mountains 8 or 10 miles northwest of Santa Monica, which
is on the coast west of Los Angeles, are several minor springs that
form small watering places for range stock. Water is scarce in these
mountains, however, and as the main perennial springs are sul-
phureted they have been described among the sulphur springs.
Several localities of perennial springs in the Coast Ranges along the
southwest side of San Joaquin Valley have been previously men-
tioned and are indicated on Plate I (in pocket). Springs of similar
character issue at other places in this arid region. Pataroma Spring,
11 miles in a direct line south of west from Maricopa, furnishes a small
cattle-watering supply. Goat Spring, which is about 2 miles south
of the sulphur spring in Carrizo Plain (San Luis Obispo 12, p. 277)
yields slightly bitter or salty water that is used to some extent
by cattle. Fivewillow Spring, which is 2| miles northwest of the
sulphur spring, yields water of fair quality for stock use, and a
similar spring 2 miles southwest of Painted Rock ranch, or 9 miles
northwest of the sulphur spring, also yields a email flow. Mustang
Spring furnishes a small watering place beside a road, 4 miles west
of north from Thompson Spring (San Luis Obispo 6, p. 354), but in
summer it becomes nearly dry. Carnaza Spring, on the creek of the
