OLD TRAPPERS FIRST TO FIND PARK6EYSERS Tales of ‘Tea Kettles’ Seen in Yellowstone Not Believed. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Romantic legend hovering over Yellowstone National Park is recalled by the announcement by the National Park Service of the discovery of a new geyser. The new phenomenon spouted forth with more than a million gallon flow the other day, in the Perry Creek district of the park. Its volume is greater than any known since old Excelsior geyser stopped boiling over in 1888. The discovery recalls the storied names of John Colter, the first white ma,n to visit the territory, and Jim Bridger, scout and trapper, whose trading post was far up in the snowy Rockies. Colter returned to civilization about 1807 with a tale of the nßt-

Daniel Dane, 55, salesman, 3107 E. Michigan St., killed by a hit-and-run driver while standing in a safety zone at West and Washington Sts., Wednesday night. ural wonders of the park that people refused to believe. Forty years later an official exploration party

confirmed the story that Colter told. Colter was a member of the Lewis and Clarke expedition that blazed a trail across the west. He was a trapper at heart and he wandered away alone in quest of the bearer’s lodgings. He was captured by Indians near the junction of the Madison and Jefferson rivers, but escaped. Jim Bridger, confirmed his story about the “big tea kettles’ ’of the region, but Bridger was given to odd stories, too, so he wasn’t believed. The whole Yellowstone area once was the seat of tremendous volcanic activity. Far below the earth traces of this volcanic heat linger and now and then send a hot co' umn of subterranean water spouting high into the air. That is what the new geyser is. “Old Faithful’* shoots a column of water 120 to 170 feet into the air every 65 minutes and the display lasts for four minutes. “The Giant,” another of the park’s famous geysers, sends its water 200 feet high and last for an hour. It plays at intervals of six to fourteen days. An unpleasant odor of sulphur continually permeates the whole geyser district. The newest geyser sends its water 120 to 150 feet high and lasts for four hours at a time, at intervals o; eight hours. The mouth of a geyser appears to be the crater of a volcano. The valley is shrouded in mist and steam, given off by scores of geysers and hot springs. Some of these geysers

are very tiny, sending little 6pouis of boiling water, three and four feet into the air. Sometimes, near the big geysers, a hollow road .can be heard, suggestive of the grAt caverns far below the earth’s surface where the geysers are born. There are 5,000,000 radio receiving sets in the United States.
