Scientific paper

Measurements were made of the helium concentration in the soil gases surrounding the Indian Hot Springs, Idaho Springs, Colorado. The helium concentration was shown to vary in a regular manner from the background level of 5.2 ppm to a high of more than 100 ppm near a warm (26 C) water seep, and more than 1000 ppm near a hot (40 C) water seep. Such an association of helium in the soil gas with these hot waters near the earth's surface suggests the possible utility of helium surveys in locating hidden geothermal reservoirs.
