SALT LAKE, Utah. March 1.-what
appears to be a genuine volcano has
burst forth in the great Salt Lake. a

high In the air that 1t is now visible for a
great distance, and the water In the i'm

spray IL thrown up in the aR for hun

The volcano ia situated In the big arm

non ia accounted for by the fact that for
the last six months there have been felt
several slight shocks OF earthquake In
these regions, and It Is supposed the fire
and lava which have been confined In the

outlet and are spending their force.
