The only information I could find out about this place is that there was a spring there. Every other reference is either clickbait, mirrors, or name drops as a location. Topos show a bunch of buildings, but there's not a lot of correspondence between them and aerials. I have to assume that it was a resort which died sometime before WW II, but I can't prove even that.

- Delete A resort operated in the 1920s by Frank E. Salmina ( [1]). In 1937 it's advertised as containing housekeeping cottages (i.e. serviced holiday rentals), still a resort in 1985 ( [2]) and bankrupt in 1996 ( [3]). No evidence it was a permanent settlement.---- Pontificalibus 17:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Neither Waring (c.f. User:Hog Farm/springs) nor the Arcadia Resorts of Lake County ( ISBN 9781439634233) have Salminas, but they both have a Carlsbad Springs, California on Cole Creek which was a resort with a hotel until 1908 when it was destroyed in a fire (Waring, p.187). Salminas is not in the earlier 1892 Mineral Springs and Health Resorts of California either. I also checked for Salmina since that's the name of the nearby road. But I did find Saliminas Resort (note spelling) on page 85 of the Arcadia book. It was a resort on the ranch of the Salimina family, with no mention of a spring. On page 86, interestingly, the Arcadia book then shows a picture of an advertising flyer that calls it Salmina's Resort, indicating that the Arcadia book does not come up in searches because it has mis-spelled the name in its prose. The Salmina name is confirmed by doi: 10.2307/41168583 ( JSTOR 41168583) which is actually about so-called ptomaine poisoning and mentions the ranch of the Salmina family, still going in 1956, in passing. So it's a ranch about which history has almost nothing to say. Uncle G ( talk) 18:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. No post office. I also searched newspapers.com and found only trivial coverage. JSTOR has a couple of links about specimens found near this locale. This locale lacks legal recognition and has only trivial coverage, so neither #1 nor #2 of WP:GEOLAND are met. Cxbrx ( talk) 15:09, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
