The Great Spirit Spring Mound.
BY E. H. S. BAILEY.
The “Waconda” or Great Spirit Spring, which is situated in Mitchell County, Kansas, about two miles east of Cawker City, has been described in detail by G. E. Patrick in vol. vii, p. 22, Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science. An analysis of the water, and of the rock forming the mound on which the spring is located, is also given.
The spring is upon a conical, limestone mound 42 feet in height, and 150 feet in diameter at the top. The pool itself is a nearly circular lake about 50 feet in diameter, 35 feet deep, and the water rises to within a few inches of the top of the basin. There is a level space on all sides of the spring so wide that a carriage can be readily driven around it.
