The Great Volcano Throwing
Up Smoke and Vapor In
Large Quantities.

REDDING CAL, June 20-The
expected eruption OF Mount Shasta
has begun. Large quantities Of
smoke and vapor are arising from
its east side. Springs for q radius
Of Is miles from its base are vic.
lently affected. The flow of water
from them is greatly increased.
Gas boils up in many Of them,
which in a few the water is grow
ing from cold to warm and warm
to hot. The top of the mountain,
where the peak recently disappear
ed, is undergoing constant change.
The rumble inside the volcano can
now be plainly heard.
Several parties who attempted
to ascend it have returned defeat
ed. 1t has never yet been climbed.
The parties returning say its sides
are inaccessible.
They tell stories of severe
trembling of the earth when about
half way up. 1t is the impression
that these explorers were frighten-
ed back by the activity of the vol
cano. Other expeditions are form
ing here with better outfits to
make the difficult and perilous
ascent.

Miss Turner Is the most dashing

At the next change they were
there again.
She warned them away, but they
refused to go. During the follow

from a cartridge, put the latter in

LEDGER to-day that his business
had so increased that he was COM
PEELED to double his force. Where
he once only worked ten or fifteen
men, he now gives steady employ
ment to fifty men, and possibly be-
fore the year was gone he would
have to increase his force to double
that number. He says he is now
turning out, on an average, 25, 600
brick per day and that it would be
but short time until he would
increase that number to twice its
size. He has twenty teams con-
stantly employed to do his work,
such as hauling and delivering
brick. He told the reporter of this
paper that his business was better
this year than it had been since
1879, and that the outlook for the
future was brighter still. Mr..
Harrison has an abiding faith in
Mexico realty, and says the
time is near when property in this
city will enhance to twice its pres
ent value. This is the kind of
talk We like to hear and from a
man who has made a success it
ought to have some weight.
