[Geysers] More 1908 brochure

[TSBryan at aol.com]

A few additional points along with a query about some of the names in the  
list of geysers and springs.
 
Note that the date of 1908 is the first year in which the Oregon Short Line 
 served West Yellowstone, and that with that it was in 2008 that the town  
celebrated its centennial.
 
In the geyser list a couple of interesting things:
Old Faithful erupted every 70 minutes [period]
Economic erupted "after Grand [which itself was given as "2 to 20 days"]  
and plays every 5 min. for 2 days"
Turban was shown with a duration of "24 hours"
And note that Fan and Mortar were listed separately, with different  
statistics.
 
There were also some geysers at "Morris Basin" [sic].
 
There are several pool/spring names that are clearly obsolete. A couple  
I've heard in the past, but who can identify the modern features?
Ace of Clubs
Cannon Ball
Devil's Pump (probably today's Pump)
Devil's Well
Oyster
Oyster Shell
Silver Bowl
 
Thanks!
