The geyser erupts from the casing of a well drilled in the late 19th century. According to Dr. John Rinehart, in his book ''A Guide to Geyser Gazing'' (1976 p.&nbsp;49), a man had drilled into the geyser in search for water. He had actually "simply opened up a dead geyser".<ref>Jones, Wyoming [http://www.wyojones.com/of_califonia.htm "Old Faithful Geyser of California"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607050719/http://www.wyojones.com/of_califonia.htm |date=June 7, 2019 }} ''WyoJones' Geyser Pages'' Retrieved on March 31, 2008</ref>
