It's Orange Spring Mound.  All the other features on that page are also 
of the Mammoth area.  Devil's Kitchen, Pulpit Terrace, and Bath Lake 
were some of the others that were popular around the turn of the last 
century.

It was apparently near a road, as there is a stage-coach going by in the background.  Perhaps this is something up near Mammoth, where deposits accumulate quickly, rather than being a geyserite formation ?
