THE IONA VOLCANO.
INorthern Nehraska IonnaI.l

Northern Nebraska Journal
The sound which is said 10 be sometimes
heard near the Iona volcano, and apparently
proceeding from some place far below, per-
haps is occsioned by a waterfall, and may
indicate that there is a cave Immediately
beneath. That there are extensive subterra-
mean cayerns in the bluffs along the river,
can hardly be doubted. When Mr.. Wernni
mot drifted into the bluffs near the river two
years ago, in search of coal, he penetrated
about 135 feet and then at the extremity of
the mine drilled down some 30 or 100 feet.
For about forty feet the water rushed into
the hole and from thence up into the mine,
so violently that his work was greatly i'm
peded. When however he was down 10 feet
he struck a tissure and the water all ran
down and disappeared, troubling him no
more. This fissure was at least thirty feet
below the bed of the Missouri river. After
the water disappeared, a noise as of the fall
ing of a large body OF water, or the rushing
of Mediterranean river could plainly be heard
by listening at the mouth of the hole,-the
same kind of a roaring sound which is heard
near the volcano. 1t is to be hoped that
these interesting matters will in due time be
investigated. We have no doubt but that
when thus examined, large caverns, and
probablya an underground river viii be found.
