370 SPRINGS OP CALIFORNIA.

north of the road summit and 25 yards from the road, there is another
spring that has been improved by a joint of pipe and a half barrel
so as to form a watering place. Both of these springs issue from
crushed and altered sediments that constitute the greater part of the
rocks in this region.
On the road that leads from Bartlett Springs (Lake 9, p. 200) to
Crab tree Springs (Lake 5, p. 106), about halfway between the two
places, on the grade north of Twin Valleys, a spring that issues from
altered sandstone and forms a welcome drinking pool yields about 3
gallons a minute of good water.
Candybucket Spring is thus locally known because a candy bucket
was for some time kept near it for the use of teamsters in watering
their teams and of automobilists in replenishing their radiators. It
issues at the side of the road between Stonyford and Fouts Springs
(Colusa 3, p. 205), about 3 miles east of the latter place and 100 yards
north of the summit of the grade between the two places. It yields
a summer flow of 2 or 3 gallons a minute, but the water issues from
altered sediments near an area of serpentine and is not very good.
Rattlesnake Spring is at the roadside about 6 miles east of Alder
Springs (Glenn 1, p. 359). It yields a small flow that has been used as
a roadside watering place, but it is of interest chiefly because water is
not plentiful in the region.
In the portions of the Coast Ranges that drain into northern
Sacramento Valley water is much scarcer than it is farther southwest.
Among the springs in the higher part of this region may be mentioned
one on the northern side of Toms Head Mountain, about 10 miles
northwest of Colyear Springs (Tehama 10, p. 266), and another near
the county line, about 8 miles farther northwest. Near the summit
of the range, 25 miles farther north, Kenshaw Spring issues about 6
miles south of Deerlick Springs (Trinity 3, p. 261). A spring at the
creek edge one-half mile south of Deerlick Springs is of interest be-
cause of the coldness of its water, a temperature of 47° being recorded
in summer.
In the rugged portions of Humboldt County, back from the
coast, there are several nonmineral springs, and a few that are
better known issue in the less sparsely inhabited section along the
larger streams. One of these springs is about 2 miles north of Mad
River and 7 miles from the coast, and a larger one issues a mile east
of Trinity River and 4 miles south of the northern border of the
county.
In Del Norte County, which is in the northwest corner of the State,
there are at least four springs of notable flow in the drainage basin of
Smith River. Two of these springs are on branches of the south fork
of the river and are respectively about 17 miles southeast and 10
