"no apparent evidence of elevated [44]
temperatures remaining in the beds -
A half-mile farther up stream begins
the section of the northern bank which
was characterized in 1903 by counter
flows of hot dust [Honey, Bull.
G.S. A., to also 1903 Photos] and se-
condary eruptions of that material.
Here the bed of the stream is at least
30 feet below the level occupied by
it in 1903. [How about 1908?]
The river ages up now, by being cutting
down into deposits which antedate
1902. The massive beds of dry new
seasoning
ash, desiccated by their southward
exposure, discharge much dry sand
and gravel. This collects in cones
during the dry seasons
at their bases and furnishes a not
unimportant contribution to the
débris carried out by the river when
it is in flood. [XXII, 63A + 64B-]
