NATURAL ICE IN SUMNER.
A Remarkable Phenomenon in the Caves
of Northern California.
A correspondent who has recently visited

Northern
A correspondent who has recently visited
certain sections of northern California re-
ports an interesting phenomenon which
scientists have up to this time been unable
to explain.
There are holes in the ground-crevices
and cracks in the lava beds-where ice
forms the year around. There is no water
to be seen, and if there is anything hotter
than a lava bed in July it must be the
same place in June. There are good
many of these natural ice factories in the
remote corners of Shasta, Modoc and Sis
kiyou COUNTIES. The one that is most
patronized is about fifty miles east of Sis
son, fifteen miles from Little Hot Spring
valley.
Once upon time this country was a
trembling, bubbling sea-not a sea of
water, but of boiling, seething, molten
rock And the waves as they rose and
broke became solid and fell back as blocks
of lava And when the surface was all
cool the liquid fire inside burst through it
and tore it apart, and now for twenty
miles and more the country is covered
with these torn. irregular blocks piled in
fantastic shape on every side, and among
them are strange gorges and corridors out
of which come vague, uncanny Sounds.
The blocks ring like metal when your
horses hoofs strike them. 1t is a country
of unexplained noises. From the Doweis
of mountains comes the noise of escaping
steam Out of the seemingly bottomless
pits and gorges rises the rumble of what
may be rivers, but peer into the depths
until your head swims and you cannot see
the water.
The ringing ground sounds hollow tt
your steps 1t is hot walking over the Lave
beds, for of course you cannot travers,
much of it ON horseback.
1t is rather weird to toll over them un
der the blazing sun until you are almos
ready to drop from heat and exhaustion
and then step down into a break and fine
yourself standing on ice, no man know
how thick 1t is cool in the caverns-cool
though the sun that has caused you c
much trouble and fatigue outside shine
right in upon the CLASSY floor.
! There is "a lava cliff thirty feet high, ant
at the base of it is an opening right int
the rock. 1t is arched and generally bear
c a resemblance to a prospector's tunnel
The floor of the tunnel inside the cliff
! hardly four feet below the level of the Ell
6 trance. The floor is of perfectly smoot
s ice, and the sun beating in at the open arc
e seems to make absolutely no impressio
n on it.
4 From this cave the citizens of Fall Rive
Il valley, Swazey and Fall River mills hav
= for years taken their supply of ice.

Mr. Davie is not the only member Of his
family who has been thus honored by the
people of British Columbia. His brother.
Hon. A. B. Davie, was premier of the prov
ince during the middle of the last decade.
In fact, it was not until he died that Theo-
dore was taken into the cabinet as attorney
general. The new premier ought to feel
encouraged by his success in life, for he is
but forty years of age, and his admirers
predict greater things for him in the flu
ture. Mr.. Davie was born in England and
in 1862 emigrated to British Columbia with
his father He was married in 1854 TO Miss
Alice York, the daughter of an Irish land
holder He was admitted to the bar in
1877 and five years later was elected TO
parliament and was again returned in 1886.
