matter (10.02 grams per liter) composed mainly of sodium
chlorid, calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, with moder- A
ate quantities of sodium sulfid and calcium carbonate. A l
little sodium iodid and sodium bromid and traces of iron,
_ silica, potassium sulfate and lithium sulfate. The free and
combined hydrogen sulfid amounts to 7.3 grains per gallon
