The North branch of White Creek is fed toward its lower end by the drainage of two clusters of hot springs and geysers lying at a little distance back from the left bank or edge of the stream. Between these clusters, there is a very prominent cone of a once vigorous geyser, as is evinced by the existence of an old and important channel now dry, which then carried off the surplus water. The siliceous deposits in this ancient stream-bed are much weathered, and a few small pines are growing directly in its track. The white dome is a conspicuous object in the landscape, rising nearly or quite 30 feet above the surrounding level. It is composed of a white mound more than 15 feet in height, surmounted by a narrower chimney near one side, which is open at the top.  The geyser is evidently dying out and gradually closing its orifice, although it manifests a certain degree of activity, not sufficient to cause the ejection of very much water. A small amount of vapor is emitted from the chimney without frequent interruption, but there is considerable variation at times in the quantity thus given off.
