If you are not stifled by the sul...phur fumes above, be thankful; and whenat last you reach the 'Mountain of Fire' at the head of the ravine, andlook back upon the perils of your upward journey, you think of poorChristian in the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

The name and number of the springs is 'legion, ' Hot Sulphur, Warm Sulphur, Blue Sulphur, White Sulphur, Alum, Salt, and nobody knowsall the mineral compounds.
