Description: SOBOBA MINERAL HOT SPRINGS: Open All Year Author: [California] Title: SOBOBA MINERAL HOT SPRINGS: Open All Year Publication: San Jacinto, California: Soboba Mineral Hot Springs, circa 1929 Description: This resort was opened in 1919 by Robert G. Althouse of Los Angeles who owned candy stores and the United States Hotel in Los Angeles. Located 95 miles from Los Angeles, it was nestled at the base of the San Jacinto mountains at an altitude of 2,200 feet. "The waters of Soboba were long famed among the Indians and are praised in Helen Hunt Jackson's historical novel, Ramona," the brochure says. "They emerge pure and clear as crystal from the solid rock with no possibility of contamination." The brochure touts that the resort could be reached by "paved roads", an auto stage from Union Station, the Santa Fe train, and the Pacific Electric, with a transfer in Riverside. In 1941, Althouse sued the Metropolitan Water District after construction of the Colorado River aqueduct rendered his land "valueless" by diverting underground water away from his property. He ultimately sold the resort in 1947 to a Los Angeles syndicate. Printed in two colors on a 16" x 8" sheet that folds to 4" x 8" (8 panels). Some very light edgewear; else near fine.
