From these results, a series of guidelines regarding pulpwood and tj-mber extraction ín the study area were developed. The Provincial Park Lands Act provides Parks Branch with the legislation to regulate harvesting of trees in Grass River Provincial Park according to these guidelines. -

J DENVER SERVICE CEmER NATIONAL PARK• SERVICE Hot Spring Activity In The Geyser Basins Of The Firehole River For The 1960 Season George D. Marler* The hot springs in the geyser basins of the Firehole River continued to show marked effects and alterations due to the Hebgen Lake earthquake of the previous year. In general, the springs which did not return to near pre-quake status within a few days to about 6 weeks following the quake continued during all of 1960 to persist, with modifications, in the changes that had been induced in them. Many alterations in hot spring activity that resulted from the earth quake were latent in character. Days, weeks and sometimes months passed before these changes became evident. Some of the changes in hydrothermal functioning during 1960 must be ascribed to alterations in ground structure produced by the earthquake. These changes resulted in new foci of expression of the thermal energy. In many places deep seated fracturing has so altered former avenues of steam egress that' there is little or no liklihood that conditions in the geyser basins will ever be the same as before the big tremor. There is~ high degree of propability that it will be several years befor~ the hot springs along the Firehole River become what might be called stabilized from the effects of the 1959 ear~hquake. -

Several of the more prominent geysers and hot springs are included on this tour with information concerning their eruption patterns, names, and relationships with other geothermal features. Upper Geyser Basin - South Section: Old Faithful Geyser Old Faithful erupts more frequently than any of the other big geysers, although it is not the largest or most regular geyser in the park. Its average interval between eruptions is about 91 minutes, varying from 65 - 92 minutes. An eruption lasts 1 1/2 to 5 minutes, expels 3,700 - 8,400 gallons (14,000 - 32,000 liters) of boiling water, and reaches heights of 106 - 184 feet (30 - 55m). It was named for its consistent performance by members of the Washburn Expedition in 1870. Although its average interval has lengthened through the years (due to earthquakes and vandalism), Old Faithful is still as spectacular and predictable as it was a century ago. The largest active geyser in the world is Steamboat Geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin. Giantess Geyser Infrequent but violent eruptions characterize Giantess Geyser. -
