Railroad Extensions,


About all there is on the subject of frail-
road extensions is contained in the fol-
lowing telegram sent from this CITY Sum
day last to tho st. Paul Globe:
DEVILS LAKE, April 1.-Two corps of
surveyors of tho Manitoba road are now
in the field northwest OF this city rum
ming lines for tho extension Of the road.
Ono corps is surveying towards Mouse
river. They crossed the Big coulee a
mile north Of Church's Ferry and fifteen
miles north Of Minncwaukan, tho pres
cnt terminus of the jamestown exten.
sion Of the Northern Pacific. From
Churrh's Ferry the survey bears due
west in the direction Of tho Mouse river
cattle ranches. The other corps is op'
perating in more northcrly direction
through Towner county towards Turtle
mountain. Tho belief here is that two
lines will he built out OF this citv. Ten
carloads of building supplies arrived to-
day and others are on tho way. All this
is taken as a certain rulnllmcnt Of the
company's promise last fall that the road
would be extended this spring to the
great coulcc region and the celebrated
stock country of tho Mouse river. Tho
permancncy ofthe enterprise is indicated
by the fact that the company has decided
to lay steol rails on tho new lines. Pas
senger trains arriving hero are crowded
with strangers, who are locating north
and northwest Of this city. Merchants
here are doing an immonse business and
the town is experiencing genuine boom

what remained of their orihces, but
now they simply emitted white waves
of heat. Both of these cones were
broken into halves, with the southern
half standing Later observations of
five others showed breaks in the same
direction in three, while the other two
were broken in more of northwest
and southeast direction, but still with
the northern portion gone. This may
be coincident only, and yet it may have
an important bearing in aid of solu-
ton of the mysterious disappearance of
lava, especially when coupled with the
fact that the recent rents and issures
run mostly in northwesterly and
southeasterly direction from the Vol
cano.
Continuing our detour, we came to
the front or north rim, abreast of where
Halemaumau stood, and opposite
where we obtained our first brink view.
AS there, SO here, our artist secured two
excellent views of its characteristic
depth. 1t is difficult to convey cor
rect idea of this monstrous pit, except
that it is naturally of an inverted-cone
shape, and in extent is of such size
as would readily admit Punchbowl
turned upside down. From this point
we felt our way cautiously around to
the Little Beggar location, near the
New Lake. This had fallen in, or
rather dropped down into the New
Lake section, since the first great break,
but it was upright in position with its
northern half gone. The aoating-island
phenomenon of New Lake was also
noticed to have settled down bodily in
the southern part of the lake.
Near this point, the southeast Of
New Lake, was the greatest degree Of
heat found, and in one of the broken
cones the red glow of molten lava was
seen. In another similar cone not far
distant from it, but where no glow was
seen, shoe thrown in by the guide
blazed in ten seconds,
Daily Honolulu press. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1886, 1886-04-03

The pit, as viewed from our several
points of observation, shows Halemau-
mau to have sunk some 600 feet. Mr..
Maby states that previous to the col
lapse on the 9th instant, the highest
point of Halemaumaus rim was on its
southern bank, known as Cathedral
Rocks, which, as seen from the Vol
cano House, we're higher than the tops
of the distant hills to the south of
Kilauea They must therefore have
been about 200 feet higher than the
present rim of Halemaumau'S ruins.
The present height of the floor of the
crater, or caldera around the banks of
the chasm, ranges, by aneroid measure
ment, from 800 to 325 feet below the
veranda of the Volcano House, and
200 feet higher than at the base of the
bank, or foot of the path whereby
visitors generally enter the crater This
height at the lakes, above the northern
edges of the floor of the crater, has
been growing up gradually for some
time past, so that the oyerhows from
Halemaumau have been heightening
and extending the floor Of the crater to

An cart and historic party" con-
sisting of Messrs. Theo. SEVERN, pho.

ans, Dan'l Logan, editor of the Daily
Ballsfin, and the writer, representing
several interests, fastened from Homo
lulu to the scene of Pele's erratic
freaks on learning of the recent disap-
pearance of volcanic activity and fall
ing-in of the lakes at Kilauea on the
night of March 6-7.
Knowing the deep interest felt in the
changes and freaks of Madame Pele by
residents and visitors, l take the liberty
of deferring, for the present, the nara
ton of my trip hither in its order OF
sequence, and hasten to report what
the delegation of spies have found.
Various and contradictory reports
met the parties enquiries at all points
and stations en- route, ard with fears
and misgivings we came into full view
of the crater of Kilauea, on the west
side, where the Kau road brought us,
in steady, drizzling rain, which, to-
gether with the emissions from numer-
Gus steam cracks and assures, not only
