ALMOST In the center of Wyoming, near a bend In the Big Horn river and 4,350 feet above sea level, nature brought to the surface, for the bene fit of all humanity, her most notable work In the hot-spring line. Here, from a rough-edged opening approximately 25 feet in diameter, and which may come through from China for all any body knows ? since It has been sound ed to a depth of 1,000 feet and no bot tom found, there bubbles forth about 18,000,000 gallons of 135-degree hot water, possessing untold medicinal value, every 24 hours. This health fount was discovered by a wandering band of Indians. When k the white man came he named It "Big Horn Hot Spring," because the water was finally fumbled over a 40-foot cliff In a beautiful waterfall to the river below. A city was built by the river. They called it Thermopolls (Hot City), because of its nearness to the spring. The government purchased the tract on which the spring Is located In 1887. Washakie, chief of the Shoshone, agreed only on condition that a por tion of the water be reserved forever free for public use. Later, when ttie government ceded the land to the state, the same clause wa? inserted In the patent. Thus this great nature-m^de anti-toxin for many ills which beset humanity has been preserved for the use of everybody for all time. A nat ural admixture of sulphur, lime, mag nesia, Iron and silica, this water pos sesses exceptional reetoratlve proper ties In the treatment of blood and akin diseases and rheumatism.
