its shadow over Las Vegas, Mex Mex
leo, hall a mile away, lately tumbled
into the valley. Five to fifteen thou
sand tons of rock were loosened from
their foundation. The mountain tow
cred 5000 feet above the Gallinus
river. The most remarkable result Of
this violent change is found to be the

high on the mountain side, of an
