well said

'hear' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'mineral springs help? hear' is the wordplay.
'mineral springs' becomes 'wells' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'mineral' bit.).
'help?' becomes 'aide' (aide is a kind of help).
'hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'aide' sounds like 'aid'.
'wells'+'aid'='WELL SAID'
