Sold, Geol ogist J. 8. Diller suggeets a Conner tlon between the Laaeen Peak eruption and the San Francisco 1*11 exposition.' 1 Mr Diller was ordered to visit ♦he scene of the volcanic eruption and his detailed ' statement was made to the United States Geolog ical Survey recently. The geolo gist poinu , out that old Vulcan may be preparing an American Vesuvius for the Panama Partly Exposition. The Pacific Ocean is girdled by volcanoes and live ones are coni- in the Central American coun tries to which Panama belongs. Mr roller reasons thus: *t b up to Vulcan to prepare a nearby exhibit for the occasion, and he evidently sees hliC duty in rejnve.- natlng the energy of Lassen peak 4 as a kind of volcanic moving pic ture, , • • Mount Ralnicr^ind Mount Shas ta. the beautiful cones so much in evidence to the traveler on^the Pa cific ('oast north of Sanfrancisco, are now finding an up-to-date riv» .al in Lassen Peak, which Is plain- . ly in ' lew from the railroad for niany miles in the Sacramento val ley between Redding and Red Bluff. Lassen Peak is the south ern end of the Cascade Range, and it stands between the Sierra Neva da on the southeast and the Kla- maUi Mountains on the northwest. Its lavas erupted in pastures ream the Sacramento Valley on the bide and on the other form a part of the vast volcanic field, one of the greatest in the world thal stretme* far across California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho to the Yel lowstone National Park. "Of all portions of the Cascade Range Lassen Peak ptlll Pemalns the largest remnant of Its once vigorous volcanic energy. Morgan and Suppan Hot Sp^ngs and Bum pass Hell on the south as well as Hot Spring Valley and the boiling mud-lake Tartarus o n the south east have long attracted the atten tion not only of Californians but to.some extent of the tourists, to whom the region Is growing mbre accessible every year. , If to these already established attractions be added a frequent occurence of the recent .volcanic plays of Lassen Peak the region will take high rank among nature’s wonderlands "But what is the nature of this new activity of Lassen? Is it real ly volcanic? Will H soon dwindle and become wholly qulapcent or on the other hand is it the precursor of a more profound eruption like that of Krakatoa? The excellent photographs that have been taken >f the outburst, especialy those by^ (I. F. Milford and the series by H. F. Loomis, of Viola, taken from a print six miles northwest of. Las^ sen Peak, leave little doubt in the mind of an>one familiar with vol- <anic phenomena that the outburst is essentially volcanic. These pho tographs are strikingly similar to those taken by Johnston-Lavis ^showing the progress of an erup tion in the Liparl Islanos, whose volcanic character is well known. v The eruption of Lassen Peak began May ilrt at 5:SO p. m. with in outburst of steam which accord ing to Forest Supervisor W. .1. Rushing .continued abciut 10 min utes. It formed a crater In the snow-covered summit of Lassen about 25 by 40 feet in extent and -».o\ered the encircling snow for a 'distance of .‘ion feet with a man tle of dark wet dust? Harvey Ab le yl. a forest rang-f, visited the Rcene and reported • -e facts. "On the following day at 8 a. m . another^eruption occurred and that eruptions art generally If not a always preceded by a complete cee- eation of ascaping steam." Mr. Diltor has boon faniltar with Laasea Peak for o ver thlrt y yearn aad bis praeont observations are thoeo of a geologist who has ■ado a special study^of this vol cano on eeVeral previous years. His statement continues: “With anecdeelve eruptions the now crater la enlarging. June 30, whom Mr. B. F. Loomis end I vis ited it ,it was 400 feet long and 100 feet wide with a depth of not over 100 feet. It appears to fol low a fissure running a little north of east and south of west. The es caping steam from the southwest "end of the fitsnre is visible in the excellent photographs obtained by Loomis. "The other hot holes about Las sen Peak as far as I can lear n have not. increased their activity unless it < is Bumpass Hell which is al ways faming, but nothing like an eruption has been reported. "No definite f molten products have been found in connection with recen*. eruptions of lessen Pc,tk. The ejected dust as far as can be Judged from an examination with a small pocket lens- *s disintegrat ed or pulverized dacite, perhaps «in part decomposed. The quartz and apparently a-lso the . glassy feldspar are itr'ghf hut the hornblende, au- gite and mica are of course not so abundant In the dacite qnd are leys evident. An •ext|mlnation. with a petrographic microscope confirms the ronclusioiK that the dust Is the producj of the (pulverizing action of the explosive gases In the rocks through which they are escaping, and not the result of the explosive expansion of gases In a liquid lava. “That beat has recently risen in the core of Lassen Peak ia evident from the fact that whereas it was once cold now It is rot and steam ing.- When E. E. Hayden and i were on the mountain in July. 1883. and slid down the 2,A00-foot snow bank into Hat Creek on our way to Yello Butte there was no sign of heat in the summit of La« sen Peak. The rocky summit of *he peak, struck by manv Hum derbplts during storms and ruprr- ficlalty fused here and there by the lightning to fulgerite, is still as it was then and the little Ihk la there as In 1883, but the heat and the crater arb new. Mr. Rushing teils me that thesd new features appear ed with the first eruption. Bu* the fact that the other hot places about the mountain are not yet percepti bly hotter indicates that the rise of temperature Is local and doe* not at least as yet affect the, mountain mass. Time alone ran tejl what Lassen it going to do. The volcano may aubslde to its former «iuir>s cenue. But we mur- no*, forget that It was only the top of old Ve suvius that was blown off to make Monte Somtna and rr.e Vesuvius of today. Krakatoa blew up from the very base with tremendous effect. There seems no good reason at present to fear from a Krakatoan outbreak at Lassen -B^ak, but the part of wisdom dictates a close watch. "Eruptions as a rule break out suddenly. Sightseers will general ly find the viewpoint from‘which Loomis** photographs ’ were taken Vlpse enough if the mountain Is active, but If all is quiet and the seeker after knowledge must see |h*i |crater for himself he should l»e sure to ascend on the windward side, and approach with caution."
