VOLCANIC INFLUENCEs.-In connection |
with notice of recent earthquake shocks in |
this region the New York Herald contains
the following: I. is the belief that the Pa
cifc seaboard of California and all the terri
tory lying west of the Sierra Nevada range
of mountains lie west of the direct line of
volcanic forces, which run along or near the
backbone Of the continent from Patagonia
into Mexico, and thence through Arizona
and Nevada on the east side of the great
mountain chain which divides the State from
California, and thence by way of the volca-
noes of Oregon and of Washington Territory,
into British Columbia" And the San Fran
cisco Call says: There is but little doub.
that the great volcanic region which princi-
pally effects California, is that which follows
up the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and is in
dictated by the numerous hot springs, ETC., on
the eastern base of the mountain range"
