Inscription.
"A rude stage station was established at Fish Springs, and the lonesome keeper greeted us warmly. The spring was a large pool of water lying at the base of a low mountain. For three or four miles it sent out a large and copious stream, but the thirsty sands soon absorbed it. The water while brackish, was said to abound in fish.
Lavinia Porter, 1859
