ierest The Chapel is supposed TO have been
erected as early as lf50-probably as late as
1850. II is mentioned in Hennings Statutes
OF Large as one of the Chapels more costly
than many Others. The site. which is on the
lands Of Col H. Is. Davenport. is supposed to
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. 1t is sup
posed to have been moro elegant, hence more
costly, than Others, because II was located near
where many wealthy Church-of- England peo-
pie lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magniticence
of their houses Of worship. At any rate. the
present ruin was once grand in its time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed TO have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet

How Lake Tahoe, was Form ed.

Major j. w. Powell, director of the
United Statesgeoiogical survey, thus
describes the origin of Lake Tahoe:
"Ins geographical times not long ago
as speaks the scientist, but very long
ago; as speaks the chronicler of hui
man follies, there was a deep valley
on the eastern slope Of the Sierra Ne
Vada at the headwaters OF the
Truckee river. About this valley
lowered granite mountains. But
earthquakes came, rents were opened
in the rocks, and from the fssures
poured monstrons streams of lava.
One of these assures crossed the
lever end of the valley, and through
it poured floods of molten rocks.
Stream after stream issued, to cool in
cold sheets and blocks, until wall
was built across the valley two or
three thousand feet In height, and
above it was a deep basin five or six
hundred square miles in area. The
storms that fell on the granite and
volcanic mountains rolled in rivers to
fill the basin and Lake Tahoe was
created. When filled at last it's
waters overhowed the rim of lava,
and the rruckee now springs from
the Tahoe fountain. Its deep waters
ar dark with profundity. like the
clouds of stormy sky, but about it's
shores few shallow bays are found
and emerald waters, like festoons Of
beauty, encircle the deeper and more
isomber lake. Back from the waters
forest clad slopes rise toward the
heavens, and above are seen naked
crags and domes of granite"
