GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITORIES. 



123 



As we go from tbe river up tbe hill toward the main springs we meet 

 with a hirge pool of hot water of about 100 feet diameter. It is 230 

 feet above the level of the river, and on its edge there are several 

 springs. Of two I took the temperatures, and found them both to be 

 140^ F., the temperature of the air being 05^' F. and the time of observa- 

 tion 8 a. m. A short distance farther up we canie to the main mass of 

 springs, arranged on a series of terraces at ditferent levels. The first 

 terrace is 528 feet above the level of the river. The principal springs 

 are on the first ten terraces, and as we go up the valley we find that, 

 although there were once many springs here of a most active character, 

 at the present time they have nearly all died out. The first four or five 

 have the hottest springs. The boiling-point at these springs varies from 

 199C).5 to 200^.9. I give the temperatures, &c., below in tabular form. 

 The observations were all made on the 28th of July.
