Bonner Springs.—These springs are located at the old town originally called Tiblow, for an old Indian chief, and have been well known for years. Since the springs have been made an important suburban resort for Kansas City, the place has been renamed in honor of Robert Bonner and is now called Bonner Springs. About twenty springs are located here, in a park owned by a private individual. A sanitarium is also located here, using the waters which contain calcium, magnesium, iron, chlorin, sulphuric, silicic and phosphoric acid. No attempt has been made to ship water from the springs.
