THE GREAT SUNKEN LAKE IN OREGON.—
Several of our citizens returned last week from a visit to
the Great sunken Lake, situated in the Glissade Mountains,
about 75 miles north-erst from Jacksonville. This lake
rivals the famous valley of &Tub:A the sailor. It is thought
to average 2000 feet down in the water all round. The
walls are almost perpendicular, running down into the
water and leaving no beach. The depth of the water is
unknown, and its surface is smooth and unruffled, as it
lies so far below tho surface of the mountain that the air
currents do not affect it. Its length is estimated at 12
miles, and its width at 10. There is an island in its centre,
having trees upon it. No living man ever has, and prob-
ably never will, be able to reach the water's edge. It lies
silent, still, and mysterious in the bosom of the " ever-
lasting hills," like a huge well scooped out by the hands
of the giant genii of the mountains, in the unknown ages
gone by, and around it the primeval forest watch and ward
aro keeping. The visiting party fired a rifle several times
into the water, at an angle of 45 degrees, and were able to
note several seconds of time from the report of the gun
until the ball struck the water. Such seems incredible,
but is vouched for by some of our most reliable citizens.
The lake is certainly a most remarkable curiosity.—
