The Wonders of America
By T? T. MAXEY
OUR MIGHTIEST HOT SPRING.
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.
