Springs

The two main springs were Soda, Шаблон:Convert and Iron and Magnesia, Шаблон:Convert.

History

Originally a resort, which by 1910 could accommodate 100 guests.Шаблон:Sfn A post office operated at Hough Springs from 1882 to 1892, with a closure in 1886 to 1887.Шаблон:Sfn The hotel, cottages and tents could accommodate about 150 visitors. They were owned by the Bartels brothers.Шаблон:Sfn

The Bartels brothers located two claims on a deposit of mineral paint, found one a low spur off one of the higher mountain ridges, reached by trail from Hough Springs. It was said to be exposed for a width of Шаблон:Convert and a length of Шаблон:Convert. There were two colors lying beside each other, one a burnt umber and burnt sienna, and the other a slightly dark yellow ochre. The material only needed to be screened and bolted to prepare it for use as paint. Pits had been dug to confirm that the deposit was at least Шаблон:Convert deep, and small amounts had been used for painting around Hough Springs, with favorable results.Шаблон:Sfn
