We found a number of the smaller geysers near the hill top at 
work, one throwing jets almost continually to the height of 20 
and 30 feet, fhove the latter and on the summit of the bare 
part of the hill stood the quiet pools of two very fine 
geysers. The extent of the deposits, the character of the 
pools and vents indicate probable great power and fine 
eruption. 
The mud puffs are as of old. I procured a specimen 
of the vedded volcanic grit that caps the hill by the Hud 
Puffs. There was no dip or strata apparent.

Gannett returned to camp and i went on the the upper 
part of the basin, p.ssed the voluminous streams that came 
down from the "Steady" geyser. Stopped at the old geyser 
cone and afterwards spent an hour at the "Great Fountain" 
witnessing meantime one of the finest exhibits within ray 
experience. Instead of being a second class or doubtful 
first class geyser it proved by this eruption that it 
ranks among the very first. Had I not just witnessed the 
Fan geyser I should have pronounced it the finest show of 
the season. I noticed on approaching that the basin was 
filled to the rim and that there was considerable boiling 
about the edges and consequently anticipated an eruption. 
Presently it came and with a splendor that I was not in the 
least prepared for. Exquisite jets and v m " columns 
of water, enormous in quantity sent upward. Jets from the 
central part of the basin reached the height of 140 or 150
