MINOR PERENNIAL SPRINGS. 347
tule-grown stream, that has a flow of about 3 gallons a minute
near the road. It supplies a watering trough and has also been used
for garden irrigation.

CACTUS FLAT SPRING (SAN BERNARDINO 30).
Cactus Flat Spring, which is also known as Hidden Spring, issues
from an adit excavated in the hard, granitic material in the side of a
ravine. The water is collected in a small reservoir formed by a dam,
across the ravine, and has been used for more than 20 years for
domestic supply and for irrigation. It furnishes a convenient water-
ing place on the stage road from Victorville to Bear Valley.

SARAGOSSA SPRING (SAN BERNARDINO 31).
Saragossa Spring is about 2 miles in a direct line or 3 miles by road
southwest of Cactus Flat Spring. It has been developed by an
excavation in gray granitic material and yields a small domestic
supply that is of value in this poorly watered portion of the moun-
tains.
MONTE CRISTO SPRING (SAN BERNARDINO 32).
Monte Cristo Spring is in Van Dusen Canyon, a mile or more in a
direct line southward over Gold Mountain from Saragossa Spring.
It yields about 1 gallon a minute of cool, fresh water that supplies
the camp of the Rex Mining Co., which has been driving the Monte
Cristo tunnel into the mountain.

WARRENS RANCH SPRINGS (SAN BERNARDINO 39).
Warrens Ranch Springs are situated a number of miles southeast
of Cactus Flat, in a pass on the opposite slope of the mountains.
The ranch is 28 miles eastward from Banning, on the main road to
Dale mining camp, and is a regular stopping place for travelers. Its
water is obtained from large springs below the ranch and is pumped
to it by a gasoline engine.
The springs at the six localities last described (San Bernardino 28,
29, 30, 31, 32, and 39) are among those principally used of the
numerous springs that rise in San Bernardino Mountains. All of
them are of surface origin and owe their permanence to the precipi-
tation on the slopes of the mountain range, whose higher peaks are
capped with snow during a part of the year.

PALMDALE SPRINGS (RIVERSIDE 12).
An agricultural settlement was started at Palmdale, 8 miles south
of Palm, Springs railroad station, a number of years ago, but in 1909
the place was nearly abandoned. Water for irrigation was furnished
partly by a group of springs that yield a considerable supply.
