GEOLOGICAL SUEVEY OF THE TERRITORIES. 73 on Gardiner's Eiver. Upon the summit of the Tertiary and Cretaceous strata, at the right, is a bed of basalt. While passing by, under the river and beneath the calcareous deposit of the springs, are the Carbon- iferous limestones; be- neath all, we suppose, there is a great thickness of trachyte. We may also suppose that the meteoric waters pass up to the surface through the limestone, as shown in the section, cleaving the lime that is deposited on the way. This subject will be dis- cussed more fully in a future report. We have already spo- ken of the wedge-like ridge between the Yel- lowstone and Gardiner's Elvers, and the wall of Cretaceous Tertiary, and basaltic strata facing the hot-spring district. These consist of alternate beds of dark-brown clays and somber-gray sand- stone, some portions thinly laminated or com- | ^^^p l)act like quartzite; in- clination, east 10<^. These beds extend up in their fall force about three miles above the springs on the east side of the East Fork, where they become obscured by basaltic rocks and detri- tus. Masses of basalt have fallen down from the summit of the ridge into the valley below, in many instances obstruct- ing the current and ren- dering traveling difficult. About a mile above the springs, Gardiner's Eiver separates into three branches, which we may call East, Middle, and West Forks. Tlicy take their rise high up in the divide that separates the lake basin from the valley below. I have estimated the length of these
