A Ki'at body of water, known
as Mammoth Spring, bursts
forth from the earth in Arkansas
just across the line from Missou

town clustered about the spring
and also to the station located
there on the line of the Memphis
and Birmingham route of the
Frisco system.

dam of solid masonry built some
years ago across the outlet. This,
dam is twenty feet, in height, and
the water pours over it with a
