Democratic Sentinel, Volume 7, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 May 1883 — A Wonderful Spring. [ARTICLE]

A Wonderful Spring.

Silver spring, in Florida, is a remarkable natural curiosity. It covers about an acre, is from twenty to sixty feet deep, and so transparant that a nickel thrown into the water can be followed in its course till it reaches the bottom at a depth of fifty feet. The water bubbles up from a bed of white sand, and is strongly mineral. When the sun is overhead, all the colors of the rainbow are reflected -upon the water. Huge fish are seen swimming around, dressed in all the prismatic colors. The spring is drained by the Silver run into the Ocklawahua river.
