Summary

[edit]
Description

Tuesday, Aug. 1, 1871 No. 264. MUD GEYSER IN ACTION. The only true mud geyser discovered, eight miles below Yellowstone Lake, it has a funnel-shaped orifice in the center of a basin 150 feet in diameter, and in which there are two other hot mud springs. The flow of the geyser is regular every six hours, the eruptions lasting about fifteen minutes. The thick, muddy water rises gradually in the crater, commencing to boil about half way to the surface, and occasionally breaking forth with great violence. When the crater is filled it is expelled from it in a splashing, scattered mass ten feet in diameter to forty feet in height. The mud is a dark lead-color, and deposits itself thickly all about the rim of the crater. William Henry Jackson;
