In a study to be published Friday in the journal. Science, two Carnegie Institution researchers said the Old Faithful Geyser of California, located near Calistoga, experienced a sudden variation in its eruption pattern within one to three days before three major earthquakes. Paul G. Silver and Nathalie J. Valette-Silver, a wife and husband team at Carnegie's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism in Washington, said a 20-year record of eruptions of the California geyser is clear evidence that it is affected by large quakes within 155 miles of the geyser site. "Either this is all a coincidence and nature is playing a practical joke" or the geyser is exhibiting changes that are precursors to large earth movements. Silver said in a statement released by Carnegie. The researchers are out of the country and not reachable by telephone. In the Science report, the Silvers said they were visiting the Calistoga geyser in 1989 and waiting for it to erupt when Olga Kolbek, the co-manager of the attraction, revealed that records of the geyser eruptions had been maintained since 1971. The Silvers obtained copies of the records and entered thousands of eruption times into a They then compared eruption patterns for the mi just preceding a major earthqujl with periods that includedt earthquakes. The comparisons were on the length of time, or intern between eruptions. They found that three ma earthquakes within 155 miles the geyser occurred within one three days after the geyse eruption pattern underwe abrupt and dramatic changes.
