Josephs Coat Basin, on the east side of the canyon, and Brimstone Hills, on the east side of the Yellowstone Lake, an extensive area on the slopes of the Absaroka Range, both present evidences of the same chemical processes brought about in the same manner. It is not too strong a statement to make to say that the plateau on the east side of the Grand Canyon, from Broad Creek to Pelican Creek, is completely undermined by the action of superheated steam and alkaline waters on the rhyolite lava. S...imilar processes may be seen going on to-day in all the geyser basins. A long period of time must have been necessary to accomplish these changes. The study of comparatively fresh vents shows almost no change from year to year, although careful scrutiny during a period of five years detects a certain amount of disintegration, but infinitely small in comparison with the great bodies of altered rock. This is well shown in a locality like the Monarch Geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin, where the water is thrown out at regular intervals through a narrow fissure in the rock.
