Hendersons one Of the superintend ents

1 who has resided in the park shoe 1882
During that period he has made many
valuable researches and discoveries.
His Investigations in that portion Of
the park lying in the forks of the
Firehole river south OF Marshall's
hotel were especially important. Tho
discoveries made in the park last year
are considered Of especial value and
| Importance, both frOin, their xte1t and
character. Mr. Henderson, replying
! toTinduiries, said:

sisting OF myself, Asst. Supt. w. y.
Weimer, and George w. Marshall,
we're enabled to make the most
thorough and careful search that had
ever been made in that region Of hot
! springs, spoutipg geysetsH and mud
volcanoes.

are three divisions, contains vast

Of steam, and, several Of them are active
mud volcanoes. One of these opened
at tlle. top like the jaws Of a bulldog,
and there were five successive erup:.

about three feet, When the opening
