A MARVELLOUS LAKE.-The Jacksonville
(Oregon) Sentinel, describes a marvellous lake,
called the Great Sunken Lake. situated in the
Cascade mountains, about IS miles northeast
from Jacksonville. The lake rivals the famous
valley of Sinbad the sailor. 1t is thought to
average 1900 feet down to the water all round
The walls are almost perpendicular, running
down into the water and leaving ne beach,
The depth Of the water is unknown, and its
surface is smooth and unruffled, as it lies so
far above the surface of the mountain that the
air currents do not affect it. Its length is esti
mated at IL miles. and its width at 10. There
is an island in its centre, having trees upon it.
No living man ever has, and probably never
will be able to reach the waters edge 1t lies
silent, 8 i'll and mysterious in the bosom of the
everlasting hills" like q huge we'll, scooped
out BY the hands Of the giant genii of the
mountains in the unknown ages gone by, and
around it the primeyal forests watch and ward
are keeping. ..
A visiting party fred a rife several times
into the water at an angle Of Is degrees, and
were able tOnote several seconds Of time from
the report OF the gun until the ball struck the
water. This seems incredible, but is vouched
for by some of the most reliable citizens.
