THE Mineral Springs of Saratoga .
The region of Mineral Springs in Eastern New York consists of a long, shallow and crescent-shaped valley, extending northeast from Ballston, its western horn, to Quaker Springs, its eastern extremity. The entire valley abounds in mineral fountains of more or less merit, and in the central portion bubble up the Waters of Healing, which have given to SARATOGA its world-wide celebrity.
Professor CHANDLER, of the Columbia School of Mines, thus describes the
Geology of the County.
"Beginning with the uppermost, the rocks of Saratoga county
are:
1. The Hudson river and Utica shales and slates.
2. The Trenton limestone.
3. The calciferous sand rock, which is a silicious limestone.
4. The Potsdam sand stone; and
5. The Laurentian formation of gneiss and granite, of unknown thickness.
"The northern half of the county is occupied by the elevated ranges of Laurentian rocks; flanking these occur the Potsdam , Calciferous and Trenton beds, which appear in succession in parallel bands through the central part of the county. These are covered in the southern half of the county by the Utica and Hudson river slates and shales.
