The well (actually, three of them) were drilled by Western Geothermal Inc. in the early 1960s. The deepest reached down to 5,888 feet; another was about 4,000 feet. The maximum recorded temperature was 240C. From very early on (essentially, immediately upon being drilled) that deepest well "geysered" with a cycle of about 1 minute. It never completely quit but did cycle up and down. That info is as of the late 1960s, at which time also a notable amount of geyserite had already been deposited. deposited. So it is entirely possible that the well head now looks like a cone.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(The above info from "Thermal Waters of Nevada", Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Bulletin 91, p. 71-72.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A photo taken in 1965 -- scanned from a not-all-that-good picture in the Bulletin -- is attached.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV>--------------------</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 11/21/2011 7:35:52 P.M.
