    ANALYSIS. M. L. DeCoursey, Esq.: Dear Sir:—With the kind permission of Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, in charge of the expeditions and explorations west of the 100th meridian, I send you herewith the result of the analysis of the Manitou Springs. A simple comparison with other springs shows that those of Manitou resemble those of Ems, and excel those of Spa. I remain, truly yours, (Signed,) 0.
