THE GHOST OF AN OCEAN
The Echo Mountain Correspondent
Enthuses
A Sight That Tight Have Been Witnessed
Eons Ago - Arrivals at
the Hotels

ECHO MOUNTAIN. May 15.-Those
who were fortunate enough to be on the
mountains last evening enjoyed unique
vision of the ghost of an ocean which in
remote geological ages rolled over what
is now San Gabriel valley, and dashed its
waves against the rocky buttresses OF the
Sierra Madre pountains.
This pale ghost of the Eons that are
gone was in the form of level ocean OF
white fog. which, gathering along the sea-
shore gradually rolled inward past town.
and hill. and sunny slope, engulfing wide
stretches of landscape in its rogress un-
til its silent waves flowed into the canyons
of the Sierras and formed estuaries of the
remarkable flood. "Ths sight is well
worth trip alone to Echo mountain, :"
said one enthusiastic lady.
How sorry | am for the people at the
bottom of tnat ocean of fog. said an
other lady, as she thought OF her friends
in Los Angeles.
In the morning, by an inverse process.
the masses OF white fog gradually receded
from the base of the mountains, disclosing
charming bits OF landscape, section by
section, until Altadena, then Pasadena,
and finally Los Angeles came into view.
While this recession of the great fog bank
was going on we had u good opportunity
to judge of its thickness or depth. At
Pasadena it appeared to be from 500 to
1000 feet thick, the upper part as white as
driven snow, and then gradually growing
darker until tina portion near the ground
was a forbidding blanket of damp cloud
which made one shiver to look at.
Among the guests who remained over
night at the Echo Mountain house we're
Colonel Myron S. Herrck, Mrs. Herrick
and Master Parandey W. Herrick Of
Cleveland and their friends. Mrs. wilber
Parker of Los Angeles and Miss Horn of
Columbus, Ohio. Colonel Herrick IS pres
ident of the largest savings bank between
San Francisco and New York. 1t is called
the Society for Savings in the city of
Cleveland. and on April l. 1895 had up
wards of $24 900, 900 assets. He was also
an officer on the staff of Governor Nc
kinley.

after dark. The council was deliberately
considering the matter when the whisk

came bevy of fair cyclers with rosy
cheeks and smiling countenances. The
city dads hesitated but moment, and
then came a resolution which passed un-

few hundred feet till an abundant flow is
encountered, as experts say the indica-
tons are unusually good tor strong
flow.
Another derrick looms up south and
