Bob's Geyser Impresses Viewers Near Fallon
A Fallon reader recounts visiting Bob's Geyser about twenty miles south on the road to Schurz. A small hot spring, rising steam and a high jet lasting several minutes astonished observers, comparable in reliability to Old Faithful, with a 31 minute eruption interval. The geyser arose from a drilled well two years prior, after a 14 inch hole at 67 feet. locals say the eruption reached roughly 150 feet. The feature draws travelers from Reno and highlights Nevada's curious landscapes. Also notes the International Patent Exposition in New York and the Akron dirigible's storm-bound voyage toward California.
