Fria Valley is entered. This promising valley is some ten miles wide from north to south, and thirty miles long, and is almost wholly capable of irrigation. In Agua Fria Valley, twenty miles beyond the crossing of the Hassa- yampa, is Hot Springs Junction, io6 iniles from Prescott. This is the point of divergence to Castle Creek Hot Springs, twenty miles away. These springs are unim- proved, and the surroundings are crude, but the residents of the region have unbounded faith in the future of th...e locality as a resort for invalids and pleasure-seekers. Many hundreds of people annually find their way to these springs, despite their comparatively difficult accessibility. There is a small hotel, but visitors commonly camp in the neighborhood. The bathing is performed in a large rock- walled basin, which has been created by long erosion of the flowing water. The temperature of- the springs is from ioo° to iio°. The waters are claimed to possess a distinct medicinal virtue, and are resorted to for the healing of rheumatism and blood diseases, and for recu- peration from mining casualties.
