Gannett f s party consisting of Gannett , ’Jest, Cooper, 
Graves, George Boalin and myself are to camp in the lower 
geyser basin tonight. I mount old Jack and take a look at 
the geysers on the east side. % The Beehive which spouted 
while I was still at camp is quite quiet. The Giantess is 
full to the rim and the pool is extremely fine, large and 
beautifully colored. 
mother geyser of which X knew nothing before lies 
in the lower course of this group. Crossed by the Sawmill 
and Grand the T was spouting a little. This geyser 
seems to be absorbing the Grand. Passed down the trail 
by the Grant Gulch Riverside and Fan and when half .a mile 
below the matter met two footmen in buckskin garb and with 
weary g who turned out to be Mr. Wilson and Harry Yount. 
Their outfit had been set afoot by the Indians 8 miles 
below Henry’s Lake and so they were struggling in to the 
upper geyser basin with the hope of meeting some of the 
other parties.
