Until that time the Christians wanted salt, and there they made good store, which they carried along with them. The Indians do carry it to other places, to exchange it for skins and mantles. They make it along the river, which, when it ebbeth, leaveth it upon the upper part of the sand. And because they cannot make it without much sand mingled with it, they throw it into certain baskets which they have for that purpose, broad at the mouth and narrow at the bottom, and set it in the air upon a bar and throw water into it, and set a small vessel under it wherein it falleth, being strained and set to boil upon the fire. When the water is sodden away, the salt remaineth in the bottom of the pan."
This indicates that they also visited the salt springs along the Ouachita.
CENTRAL AVENUE, HOT SPRINGS.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
The Indians guided De Soto's band to the place of the springs, from which it is clear that the locality was known to them, and there is no doubt that the medicinal properties of the waters were made use of by them in a rude way.
The first person to settle at Hot Springs was Manuel Prud- homme, who built a cabin there in 1807. In the same year he was joined by John Perciful and Isaac Cates, who camped there and engaged in hunting and trapping. In 1810 or 1811 Perciful bought out Prudhomme's improvements. By 1812 some few visitors occasionly came to the springs, but, by 1814, there were not exceeding four or five cabins at the place. In 1820 Joseph Millard built a double log-cabin there, which he used for entertaining visitors, but abandoned it in 1826 or 1827. At this date the habitations there were mere movable camps. In 1828 Ludovicus Belding, with his family, settled there, and found the valley entirely unoccupied. He built a house there in this year, and lived in it. His heirs made a claim to pre-empt the land on the ground of their residence there in this year and the year 1829. As early as 1829 the springs had begun to attract visitors in numbers, and the wonderful curative properties of the waters began to be known.
In the year 1830 Asa Thompson leased the springs and began to put up bathing-houses and to make accommodations for visitors, and these are the earliest bath-houses of which there is any definite information.
About the year 1829 a claim for the possession of the springs was made in the name of James Ball, holding an in- terest with one Grammont Filhiol, then of Monroe, Louisiana, alleging that the lands there had been granted by Estevan Miro, Governor of Louisiana in 1787, to Jean Filhiol, father of Grammont, who had sold in 1803 to one Narcissa Bour- grat, who had reconveyed to Jean Filhiol, who was Com- mandant of the District of the Ouachita from 1783 to 1800. It was clearly shown, however, by the testimony of Judge

James McLaughlin, who had lived on the Ouachita since 1793, and who had been a surveyor under the Spanish Government, that the claim had never been regularly granted by the Spanish authorities, but was concocted in 1803, by the Spanish Commandant of the District of the Ouachita, Don Vincent Fernandez Techiero, successor to Jean Filhiol, who seeing that the Government was about to change, and "wish- ing to do something for his friends," prepared a scheme to make conveyances of lands, ante-dated to have the appear- ance of their having passed through several hands, which the United States would be bound to recognize when it took pos- session. Accordingly in his (McLaughlin's) presence a conveyance of the springs was drawn, dated 1787, and ran from Estevan Miro, Governor, to Jean Filhiol; another bear- ing date November 25th, 1803, from Jean Filhiol to Nar- cissa Bourgrat, and then a later conveyance from Narcissa Bourgrat to Jean Filhiol. But when Filhiol's heirs attempted to recover the land in 1829, search was made of the Spanish records, and no such grant could be found recorded in either New Orleans or St. Louis; only the deed from Filhiol to Narcissa Bourgrat could be found, reciting that the previous grant had been made by Miro, and so when Judge McLaughlin gave his deposition as to the facts, the claim vanished into thin air.
In 1820 Colonel Elias Rector, of St. Louis, located on the lands embracing the springs, a New Madrid certificate, originally issued to Francis Langlois, and by him assigned to Colonel Rector. Application for the entry of these lands was made January 27th, 1819. They were surveyed by James S. Conway, Deputy Surveyor, July 16th, 1820; the location of the claim was duly made, but on applying to the Department for a patent, the Commissioner withheld it on the ground that the Indian title had not at that time been ex- tinguished; and afterwards withheld it on the view given by Attorney-General William Wirt, that New Madrid certificates

were not locateable south of the Arkansas river ; that the New Madrid Act permitted the location only of such lands as were subject to entry at the date of that Act (1815), and not those which afterwards became so. While matters were pending in this shape, Congress, in 1832, passed an Act reserving the four sections of land, which embraced the springs, from pri- vate ownership by purchase, settlement or pre-emption. The heirs of Colonel Rector claimed the springs under the location of this certificate. The claim was represented by Henry M. Rector, who settled at the springs in 1843. In 1839 or 1840, John C. Hale settled at the springs, and after the death of John Perciful, in 1835, Hale bought from his widow, Sarah Perciful and his son David Perciful, their claim to the springs, and thereafter their interest was represented in him. In 1851 Major William H. Gaines, who had been a large planter on the Mississippi river at Gaines' Landing, in Chicot county, moved to the springs and married Maria Belding, one of the heirs and descendants of Ludovicus Belding, and thereafter their interest was represented by him. The three claimants began a litigation for the property in the year 1852, which only ended in 1876, by a decision of the Court of Claims at Washington, affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States in favor of the United States Government, as against all three of the claimants, Hale claiming under the Perciful pre- emption right, Gaines claiming under the Belding pre-emption right, and Rector claiming under the New Madrid entry.
In 1877 Congress appointed Commissioners to settle the rights of possession and purchase as between the different in- dividuals, numbering several thousand, who had settled on the property, holding by lease or purchase. Valuations were placed on the different. parcels, and the Commissioners de- cided who was entitled to purchase the same. Finally the many and difficult questions arising out of the subject were determined, and questions of title permanently settled, and thereafter the substantial improvement of the place was very

great. The Commissioners laid out a large and beautiful city, the Government still retaining ownership of a large part of it. The Hot Springs mountain to the east of the valley, on which all the hot springs are situated, was made a perma- nent reservation, and the Government, in 1885, erected on it a splendid hospital, called the Army and Navy Hospital, for the use of sick and disabled soldiers and marines in the Gov- ernment service.
By 1871 the town had not greatly grown, though there were a number of good hotels there of that date. The farthest house up the valley was Colonel Whittington's residence, with one cottage opposite, where Captain H. C. Smith lived. Houses were then very scattered along the course of the Hot springs creek, until the Grand Central Hotel was reached, where the Opera House now stands. The Gaines' cottage was the farthest house to the south ; with the Episcopal Church, the Hot Springs Hotel, and the Sumpter House, frame build- ings. In fact all the houses of that date were frame houses.
On the site of the Arlington Hotel stood the Rector House, which was never torn down in the building of the larger house, but a part of the old hotel was incorporated in and built into the new one.
In the spring of 1878 a disastrous fire swept the town al- most from one end of the valley to the other. Hardly a house was left standing on either side of the street, from the Arlington Hotel to the Malvern crossing. The houses were generally small frame structures, and were speedily consumed by the flames. Many of these small houses stood on the banks of the creek, east of the principal street, but in the re- building of the town no houses were allowed to be erected on the east side of the street, but were all required to be erected west, leaving the space open to the banks of the creek. This space was constructed into a fine, broad street, which gives a good appearance to the place.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
The city contains all the attributes of modern cities-gas, water, electric lights, opera houses, street cars, telegraph and telephone service ; a great number of excellent hotels, with daily mails, and is one of the most thrifty and enterprising cities in the State. It contains the largest hotel in the United States, the Hotel Eastman, containing 500 rooms, opened January 23d, 1890.
After the settlement of the title took place, the growth of the place was rapid and permanent, and included many handsome and costly buildings. The bath-houses gathered along the banks of the Hot Springs creek: the Rammells- berg, Ozark, Palace, Old Hale, Horseshoe, Rector and other bath-houses, are magnificent structures, and rank among the very finest for the purpose anywhere in the nation.
In 1832 Hiram A. Whittington settled at the springs. He was born in Boston, Massachusett, January 14th, 1805, came to Arkansas, and worked as a printer with William E. Wood- ruff, in the Gazette office, from December, 1826, to June, 1832, when he left the place to recruit his health, and came to Hot Springs for the purpose in December of that year, and afterwards remained there. When he came, there was only one stopping place in the town called a hotel, but it was merely "two log pens with a 14-foot passage between," and roofed with clapboards. The second winter he stayed there, 1833, there were not more than a half dozen people living in the valley, and sixty or seventy visitors was the largest number of visitors at a time in the summer. He opened a boarding house, and kept it from 1836 to November, 1849. There was no local physician for fourteen years after he came. Dr. Wil- liam H. Hammond was the first to permanently locate there. He came in 1850, and died in 1859. Dr. G. W. Lawrence was the next physician to locate there. In 1851 Colonel Whittington established a home in the valley, which, at that time, consisted of fourteen acres purchased from Hon. Solon Borland. It was then far out of the settlement, but is now in
