In the afternoon walked out with Eckles and. others to 
where Jackson was photographing, saw some fine springs on 
Iron Spring Creek, - -Heart spring. Lake spring and the Little 
Buster geyser, etc. Came hack through the woods toward 
the Giant, Passed it and went over to the Grotto which was 
doing a good deal of spouting in its way. While here I 
noticed a little geyser throwing a jet 15 or 20 feet, a 
few hundred yards below me. Walked down that way and was 
favored with one of the most grand and enchanting sights 
It has ever been my good fortune to witness. On the opposite 
side of the river which here is comparatively quiet and 
some 40 feet wide stand tjp low geyser cones or piles set 
into the gray domed bank and projecting slightly into the 
river. The upper one suddenly ceased as I reached the bank 
and the lower one began to sputter, very quickly a splendid 
fan- shaped jet was thrown Into the air and its thousand 
darted jet trembling from right to left to the left and 
beyond this within 6 feet a second stream of steam and 
water of unexampled beauty was projected into the air to 
the distance of 100 to 200 feet and what was most surprising 
was that it stood at an angle of .40°, another little jet 
nearer me shooting out at a similar angle towards me. 
It is quite impossible to describe tne wonderful 
spectacular display that followed or to give any adequate 
idea of the beauty of the two principal jets or of the 
resistless force with which they were projected upward.
